  "Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed." From that I understand Cruz is trying to get her killed, which is a very serious accusation and should not be taken lightly.

    No, “any other X not doing Y” indicates that the one being addressed is also an X not doing Y. So, it reads like she thinks Cruz should resign becauss he tried to kill her in the past, but isn't currently trying that, while other GOP members are (or at least may be) still trying to do that.

      Yeah, no. If you come to me asking to work together and I tell you no because I don't work with people that are trying to get me killed, it's pretty obvious what I mean.

        > If you come to me asking to work together and I tell you no because I don't work with people that are trying to get me killed, it's pretty obvious what I mean. But that's not what she said, even as a summary. She said (summarized at the same level): 1. You tried to get me killed recently. 2. So, you need to quit. 3. Still, I am willing to work with almost anyone else in your party who isn't trying to get me killed. Her unwillingness to work with Cruz was expressly predicated on his perceived recent past, not present, efforts to have her killed.
