I'm astounded that all the Cruz supporters here think NRO and National Journal and Jim Geraghty and Charles Cooke and Jonah Goldberg and Guy Benson all really think Cruz is "coming on" and are being supportive of him because they LIKE him.
These people hate Cruz, and the second they think they have Trump derailed, you'll see a crap-storm of bad press on Cruz that will make your head spin.

So true. And not a single Cruz supporter seems to notice how many hard left publications have been writing warm fuzzy articles on Cruz. If half of those leftist diehards had one good word to say about Trump, I’d be concerned.
Here is one point you might find interesting. I came upon the fact that Rafael Cruz the elder, while officially speaking for Ted’s Senate bid, explained that Ted is an “anointed king” whose role is to redistribute the spoils. An odd characterization at best.
Wishing to figure out what this means, I plugged the key words into a search engine.
Good googly moogly. What popped up was a Who’s Who of major, famous, rabidly leftist sites. They were ALL listed.
But not one conservative site. Not one.
The progressives were having a field day, mocking the Cruzes and brutally savaging the ‘anointed king’ meme. On the conservative side, explaining or justifying the concept...crickets.
Cruz supporters imagine if they ignore such issues, and intimidate their fellow conservatives into silence, the problem will go away. They’ll never have to deal with it.
As you so aptly forecast, if Cruz ever tops the GOP field, the leftist attacks will surpass anything seen to date. The libs are locked, loaded and salivating. All the need now is for the target to come into range, and BLAM!
