I love Ted Cruz, but as time goes on, it becomes more clear that he would not be able to attract the broad based coalition that would be necessary for a Republican to win. Somebody has to break the stranglehold, and it requires Ohio, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Iowa and Missouri. Obama took those states. Trump can take those states and Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. Not that he will get them all, but he puts them in play. He redraws the map.

Cruz shrinks.

So what I hope for is that when you holier than thou Cruz accolytes finally are forced to accept what the rest of us here on this forum realized already, that Cruz won't win the nomination, in part because he couldn't win the election, that you give up the Cruzade and join in the important battle to win in November. Trump is right on immigration, and that is issue no. 1 that preserves the ability of conservatives to win on the other issues later. He is right on Muslims, he is right on trade, and he is pro-American on the world stage. That, and an ability to achieve, are what we need now.

But you are so much smarter than the rest of us, and can see through Trump, so I don't know why I am arguing with you. I should simply be bowing down to you, saintly one.
