This is one of the reason that I don’t think Cruz was planning to win this time around. I think his long-term plan was to put this issue upfront and now and, if the courts ruled in his favor, run in 2020 and win.

It’s a raising his profile this time around.

The courts are not going to rule either in his favor or not in his favor. The courts have no jurisdiction and the democrats have no standing.

I tend to agree. It looks to me that Cruz isn’t fighting back as hard as he could. He’ll take VP, let the issue get settled when it doesn’t destroy the ticket, and then run in 2020 (or 2024) if the courts let him.

No way for me safely to judge TC's intent for 2016, but what you say regarding 2020 turned on my light bulb and I see how it could be a splendid side-benefit for Cruz' run for the Presidency then.
