Exactly.
Not to mention that Cruz can't beat Hillary anyway. He's still whining that Republicans lied to him about TPP - how do you think Hillary will treat him? He'll never know what hit him.
Trump, on the other hand, will hit first and hardest, and Hillary knows it.
Your policy purity doesn't matter if you don't make it to the White House.
Great analysis! Let’s ignore every vote Cruz has ever taken, every position he has ever taken and his battle against the Republican establishment but completely ignore the blowhard reality tv candidate that praised Obama on his Trillion dollar stimulus package while ignoring polling that shows Cruz beating Hillary or Trump having a 60% negative rating beating out Hillary. Apparently a total lack of conservative principles, dividing the Republicans, and having no chance in a general election doesn’t seem to matter.
