Cruz has got into bed with the establishment, it’s win at all costs and he has thrown out the outsider reference .

That’s pretty much SOP for politicians. Now the question remains when will Trump jump
into that bed, if ever? Trump has used politicians for his interest over the years I’m
sure and the question becomes does he become one also.

Trump has been in bed with the establishment while Cruz was fighting them in the Senate. Trump should have run Dem.

Oh grow up everyone and/or take a chill pill. Welcome to the world of how Washington works, how it's always worked and how it probably will work.

If anyone here wishes to dress down 2nd place Senator Ted Cruz for making a strategic fundraising alliance to essentially knock out Trump ("Mercy sakes alive! Imagine THAT!! Politics!"), then I'd suggest they might have some soul-searching to do in the hypocrisy department.

From the 1970's until about one year ago, one could not find a person more connected with elite Washington, with RINO's and Lib Dem's alike, through donations, through hiring of Beltway bandit GOPe Establishment law firms and K Street kings like Stone and Manafort, through connections with every bit of the "system" as any one else assailed here...than Donald John Trump. Fact is he has RINO centrist and DC praetorian guard types with his campaign in PR, finance and strategy and so much of this is simply kabuki until the general election wherein Trump will (as Dole, McCain and Romney before him) return to the default Establishment position. Cruz has demonstrably thrown in far less than Trump over the last 20 years in terms with incestual money flow connections with the caliginous rooms near the Potomac. Cruz has been considered as somewhat of a "quack" in official DC (that's FR territory!) such has been his anti-establishment words and creds. He's been scourged with a perfect 100% voting record from the American Conservative Union--and he'd be no less than •bashed• right here on FR of all places? What gives!?

Please folks. Get another reality once-over. Your narrative is full of holes and while somewhat romantic but mythical, it just simply does not jive with the reality of Mr. Trump and his longstanding ambidextrous, weathervane-like political proclivities and predilections for many years.

He is not coming around to them. They are coming around to him. He will not change.
