Cruz is in many respects a Reagan Republican. That includes (so far) a reluctance to attack other republicans.

It’s not much, but I’m sending him $100. Go Ted.
Picture an elephant tied to a stake over a pile of wood.
Burn, baby burn.
Guess I’m not the only one who thinks Trump will fold and Senator Cruz will reap the rewards.
“What does a man like that do with an opening bid of $52 million and the support of both small donors and some fabulously rich men?
Aim.
Bush probably won’t be Cruz’s first target. The most pressing business for Cruz is to consolidate support on the party’s right, which will require reducing Scott Walker from Destroyer of Unions to just a guy who talks out of both sides of his mouth. Walker’s inconsistency on key issues — darned if we don’t encounter immigration and Common Core again! — is the sort of story that can be easily explained in 29.5 seconds. And Cruz’s money will buy a lot of 29.5-second blocks to tell it.
If Cruz succeeds in dispatching the unreliable Walker, he can inherit some of Walker’s support and turn either to Marco Rubio, if Rubio has gained traction, or to the main event: Bush.
The beauty of Cruz’s positioning is that it insulates him from lesser claims on his virtue — such as calls for partisan loyalty or Senate collegiality. If he annihilates Walker, Rubio and/or Bush — any of whom is likely to be more electable than Cruz — they will only be incidental casualties, the kind of sacrifices required of a true patriot. Some Republicans might wish that Cruz loved his country, or himself, just a little bit less. “
He had better.
The Cheap Labor Express has already spent billions buying most of the GOP.
The RNC is really intent on nominating an amnesty candidate.
¡Yeb! and Rubberio aren’t faring so well.
They have more in the wings.
I will continue to give to Cruz, and if Jeb or some other GOPe loser is the nominee, I hope Cruz goes third party. If not, I will write him in.
With 50 million dollars, (probably a third of what he needs to be competitive,) Cruz’s goal must be to catch fire before Florida, AND WIN PRIMARIES. If he can’t, he should drop out and endorse the highest-polling conservative. “Hanging in there” without winning primaries, on a shoe-string budget, waiting for others to drop out... NOT a winning strategy.
Santorum-Gingrich-Paul- divided the conservative vote in 2012, if two had dropped out and endorsed the third, Mitt would not have won.
If a candidate doesn’t have the money, (up front like BUSH) hit hard, win early, gain momentum, get more money- AN UPWARDS SPIRAL.
KNOCK JEB OUT OF THE RACE or QUIT. No more moderates!

....Cruz, who stands to inherit many Trump supporters when Trump teeters....

I hear, and read, constantly about the inevitability of Trump’s campaign “dying out”. Someone PLEASE tell me what makes people so sure that is a certainty? I have no problem with this. I appreciate what Trump is doing to the Liberals and the media, but my guy, Cruz, is more electable. Hillary leads Trump by almost 20 points right now. But, having said that, a guy with $10 Billion can “hang around” for a heck of a long time.
