That picture floating around the internet of Cruz capitulating to McConnell is very telling.
Ambition has caused more than one man to compromise his principles.
Hell, we have a Congress full of such people.
The national GOP was holding the gun to their own head and the Colorado GOP #never trumpers pulled the trigger. Cruz is a candidate with narrow appeal that the National GOP has no intention of giving the nomination to. They are managing to offend everyone this year.
