“BUT. Trump is a complete wildcard; Cruz isn’t.”
“Aside from unannounced weekend work or the occasional government shutdown, they know what they’re getting from Cruz. He is a politician who has demonstrated that he can stick to his principles and navigate politically sticky situations with as much deftness as the next candidate.
Republicans, by contrast, have no idea what they’re getting with Trump. One day he’s suggesting Muslims be banned from the country, the next he’s retweeting a quote from Mussolini, the next his campaign manager is getting charged with battery for allegedly grabbing a reporter’s arm and bruising her.”
Stiletto practice on the back of Ted Cruz.
Even good ole Jimmah Carter claims he'd rather have Trump as Prez than Cruz, stating, Cruz firmly believes what he says, while Trump is "maleable,"

Laughably ridiculous commentary, because Cruz will not this year or any other year be Prez. He can’t win FL and OH, therefore he has no path to White House.
It’s true, the “fix is in” party may appoint Cruz as the sacrificial lamb destined to lose against Hillary, losing, but preserving what they value the most, power to limit our choice of candidates to only GoPe uniparty types. This is where the corruption lies, in the primary process where general election rules don’t apply, Trump has exposed it.
Republicans know exactly what they are getting with Trump, the loss of POWER in picking a nominee, the power Trump voters are ripping from their grasp, the power they need to protect their positions of entitlement in the uniparty.
A bigger threat to them than a Hillary presidency. And why you see them hitting Trump harder than they ever did Obama.
Yes he’s a risk, but not a greater risk than Hillary, or some appointed GoPe type, who also cannot win FL and OH.

A Cruz nomination, means GoPe wins, Hillary wins, and we lose.
Well the problem with Cruz is that he is continuing to exhibit he doesn’t really have any principles and people are starting to take notice.
The stark reality of Ted Cruz is that he just isn’t likeable. Voters just don’t want him. He’s like the creepy Uncle that you avoid except on Christmas. Couple that with all the dirty trix, say one thing vote another and you have a guy who just doesn’t get there. The loser level activity trying to manipulate delegates at the state convention level is something to do because you are going to lose every NE primary in the next couple of weeks.
Lets face reality, Ted Cruz was never going to win the GOP nomination. If Trump wasn’t beating him Rubio, Bush or Walker would be. You can’t win when you continually poll in the low to mid twenties.
