Curious why you think not.
Cruz is not running to play second fiddle to Trump. Why would he end his career like that? Trumpees like to think it a perfect match but it isn’t in terms of the old appease some of the other part of the party with VP. Cruz had the mostly the same views as Trump but he doesn’t have Trump’s history of being all over the map. Cruz is steady as she goes and has been studying and practicing conservatism from an early age.
I honestly believe if Trump doesn’t implode Cruz will skillfully take him out. The media will probably even cover it.
If you look at the infamous Reuter’s rolling poll by probable GOP primary voters it is Trump 33%, Cruz 21%. Rubio at 11% or so in fourth place.
I was enjoying Trump driving everyone crazy but his whining may be worse than Bambi’s.
Just how I think about it and I am surely not an expert.
