There are R’s, and then there are R’s.

Cocaine Mitch wants the squishy pliable kind. Blake was simply to dangerous to Mitche’s safe sinecure, and therefor had to be submarined.

But Cruz isn’t wrong. This failure needs to be laid to rest at the current Republican establishment’s feet. They try to blame Trump, but it’s not going to work.

The most egregious part of it is that Mitch didn't pull out of Arizona to send the money to a competetive fight like Fetterman v Oz in PA or Warnock v Walker in GA, he sent it to Alaska to fund one side of a two-person race in which both people were republicans! It's a guaranteed seat and he prioritized spending there vice spending where it might have made a difference.

He wanted two things: to not win the Senate and to make sure he had total loyalty. He got the first but we're seeing that his Machiavellian moves have resulted in some cracks to the loyalty part.
