How so? There are hundreds of political races this year and the candidates in each one are rightly concerned with winning their own race. If the presidential candidate wins and has no supporters in Congress, it will have been a meaningless victory.
The point isn't that Cruz is going to challenge Trump this year. That ship has sailed. I'd be surprised if Cruz ever gets very far in his presidential ambitions. The point now is whether his defeat this year means that his career is over. He's fully justified in trying to head off an end to his career, and it doesn't mean that anybody is less concerned about defeating HRC.
I certainly did not get what you said from the article. I got that they were trying to position Cruz as some new (defeated) party leader.
The problem is nobody in any position of power follows him. He had ONE semi-supporter in the Senate. He couldn’t get ONE GOP senator to attend his climate change hearings. That is pathetic.

I can only hope. The thing is, for me, Donald Trump didn’t
defeat Cruz. Cruz defeated himself. His faux mantle of righteousness routine while engaging in condescension,. deceit, and sleaze was too much for this Texan.
The Dominionist belief crap his bigamist Dad was pushing is not mainstream. It’s fringe. Oh, and his Citizenship is the cherry on top of it all.
Go away Ted, and your Globalist, cheap labor, selling out Americans pals can go with you, as far as I’m concerned.
