[Political Junkie Too]

The worst does not mean the nomination of Ted Cruz, in spite of justified fears of political disaster. Cruz is an ideologue with a message perfectly tuned for a relatively small minority of the electorate.

If Cruz wins the nomination, then it wasn't really "a relatively small minority of the electorate" after all, was it?

Not necessarily. He would only need to be a lesser evil in most cases. The Bushies could still do business with anyone else in the field, Cruz included, but apparently Trump represents such an existential threat that this writer is talking about forming a Jeb! friendly third party.
