Teddy has crashed and burned in his presidential bid and in the process has gotten himself off the short list for VP or AG so he’s just screwed at this point. He will have to return to his lonely seat in the Senate where he is going exactly nowhere. I thought he was supposed to be so brilliant.
I thought he was supposed to be principled. He is a politician and he made a deal with Rubio. The corollary of his endorsement of Rubio is that now Rubio is the best attainable choice, and the GOPe will probably reward Cruz by allowing him to remain in the Senate without campaign funding.
