Because Cruz should pander to other people to expand his base?

I guess I get how this perhaps turns some off. But I am also relatively sure that a guy probably smarter than the both of us, definitely smarter I am guessing when it comes to campaigning,and who has always wanted to build a coalition of numerous and varying stripes will do just that, or at least attempt to.

Cruz should not be faulted for emphasizing something he feels is one of the biggest problems in the country. Just as Trump, whom I don’t trust, still should not be criticized for emphasizing immigration in his campaign over and over.

It is not pandering to address the issues of the day, even if the candidate's view is different. Honesty and transparency over pandering of lies, which Cruz has been accused of recently.

My point is that Cruz speaks to a base that he has or is sharing with Huckabee, Rubio, etc. What is he doing to build a base of support beyond that narrow niche of Republican voters? Nothing.
