If they succeed in taking out Trump, then they will go after Cruz. They want an establishment person in for the general election. Then the Cruz folks will wonder what hit them.
Yes, at this point Ted Cruz is just the establishment's useful idiot. That's a commie term for those that do not understand. The statism or really it's a mixture of communism, crony capitalism, and globalism that is strong here trying to take out a private citizen in Trump that believes in freedom and liberty.
Ted Cruz has gotten it to bed with these statists, in order to preserve the statist and unConstitutional government we have now whether he understands that or not, that's why the term Useful Idiot comes in to play when discussing Cruz's campaign. Useful Idiot's are usually discarded as soon as the elites are done using them so you are correct.
