I would urge you to check your premises: Karl Rove and the GOP establishment (GOPe) cannot afford to allow a True Conservative to win in 2016. Such a win would put an end to their “Country Club Republican” cash flow and end their power-sharing with the LIEberals.
GOPes MUST BE DEFEATED!
Cruz has been a non factor in the GOP from the get go. He refused to attend meetings. He created his own mess. Do you want a General who has no staff briefings/meetings?
