Cruz has been sabotaged by his own campaigners.
Cruz never had a chance. He rode Trumps coattails to become a blip on the radar. He has no national appeal and no ability for cross over votes. See McCain, Romney only far less women voting. It would be a disaster, again.
If Cruz looked a little more like Tom Cruz, was a half a foot taller, had a deeper voice, wasn't a lawyer, didn't handle snakes, and wasn't born in Canada.......maybe, maybe he'd have chance. But then again, he's like Rubio—a junior senator with no experience running anything but their mouths.
It's never been a tough choice.
