Long term strategy seems to ignore voter intent. Didn’t know that was part of the Conservative Ideology.
It could be an interesting showdown, Party against the Voters. Unless they also have a long term plan to litigate their way to the White House, it won’t work.

For the most part Cruz has not won in terms of votes count but has been very good at working the back rooms. If you can’t win the vote count your are unlikely to win in the General election!
