He's disparaged his own Republican leader as a liar and dismissed fellow senators as part of the "Washington cartel." But now, with his presidential prospects hanging in the balance, Ted Cruz is moving closer than ever to the D.C. establishment. Directly and through surrogates, the Texas senator is aggressively reaching out to his Senate colleagues as he prepares for the possibility of a convention floor fight against Donald Trump. And Cruz’s emissaries on Capitol Hill are now signaling to senior Republicans that Cruz would be willing to work with them as the GOP nominee in a way Trump would not.

The only people selling the Anti establishment nonsense are clueless Cruzers. He is bought and paid for by Wall Street and K Street and then he bribes other insiders like Carly to zip her lips and help with his dirty laundry,
Then he is a naïve idiot ...
That is the truth. I am particularly p.o.’d at Romney. I had thought him at least a gentleman. No longer.
I want an outsider. the only one left is Donald Trump. p.s. I was a Ben Carson supporter for the same reason. And a Herman Cain supporter prior to that.
Yep. He grew up as part of the W. team, and W.’s supposed big lesson that won him the presidency was watching his father get skewered for not being Texas conservative enough—and then feigning Texas conservatism all the way to the White House.
Cruz has basically taken that just a few steps farther.
He’s a traitor and doesn’t really stand for anything. Cruz is a prime example of why the people are so fed up with DC and the GOP.
The GOPe hates Cruz. But they hate him less than they do Trump. Given their options the establishment has made the correct decision. Back Cruz and accept the fact that he is the only viable alternative to Cruz.
Over-analyze it if it makes you feel good.
Tell us you will sit out the election if Trump isn't nominated.
Accuse Cruz with his 98% conservative voting record of selling out to the GOPe if you like.
And predict Paul Ryan will win on the 2nd ballot if Trump doesn't get his 1237.
Not me. I don't get my sources from Politico.
What deal? Give us some details.
This election has become a scenario that equates with neighborhoods under the control of the Mafia. The residents know that the “Bosses” are underhanded, unprincipled and are draining them for their own benefit. However, the residents know that what little benevolence the “Mob” has towards them will turn to all out punishment if they dare to stand up for themselves. They’re of the mind that “the little people”(read: voters)just don’t have a chance against “The Organization.”) Well, we shall see.
Once Cruz has served his only purpose -- that being to derail Trump -- the GOPEs will (again) crush him.
(Ted Cruz is a smart guy ... he has to have made this calculation.)
“Trump’s rules”

Well put!
I guess we’re seeing ‘the art of the deal’...bitch, moan, slander, lie, threaten... whatever it takes to win and to make yourself feel like a big strong man with large hands!
Wait, aren’t Cruz supporters proud of their guy for refusing to make deals?
Where've you been? Good grief, another one with "Cruz blinders" on...
Not. Going. To. Waste. My. Time.
Ted sCruz and his Bang of 8
Cruz is not going to the “establishment”, they are coming to him! Big difference.
remember this , it seems cruz lies about this too.
“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech
Yup. They haven’t stopped him now, and they won’t do anything to repair the damage later.
Very sad.
cruz took money off Trump, he is taking money off a homosexual activist and then states he is pro family.
he is another , establishment, ivy league lawyer whore
You underestimate the establishment.
Yes, it is. And it is what will win, now and in November. Remember it isn’t Cruz who has folded, it’s the ‘establishment’ bowing to the inevitable.
