Big desperation time. Cruz is closer to the dead last guy in the polls than he is close to Trump. Much closer to dead last. Trump has him by 4 to 1 or 40% to 11%. Say goodbye to Cruz in four days and he knows it.
Like a few previous knockabout victims, it takes a while. Once conciousness returns, the daze may last a few days. Reality sets in and then the "WTFlop" happened begins. Ask Jeb. He thought he could fix it too. Everybody still hoping for the derailment of Mr. Trump has been Rushing in to give CPR. Heck poor Ted may not even realize he's already been sworn in. Still haven't found the mouthpiece.
