“If Trump doesn’t get the nomination, Cruz will find out firsthand how McCain felt about his “friends” in the media.”
I’ve been saying that since the get-go! As soon as Cruz has served his usefulness, the media, and the GOP are going to go after Cruz so thoroughly that Cruz won’t know what hit him.
And judging from how he was so thoroughly marginalized by the media prior to Trump's entrance, I'd say the viability of his candidacy wouldn't last ten days.
