Remember, back then there was no TRUMP, no real threat to the GOPe. The big "financiers" had no real threat. Cruz could play fake insurgent as so many despicable GOPe fakes had before him. No pee in the bowl at all.

That's a lonnnnnnnnng stretch. Sounds suspiciously like a "conspiracy theory".

So, may I ask, what was the "financiers" purpose in letting Cruz sell them out along with the Senate leadership? What did they have to gain from it? Why would they give Cruz money to do it?

It's called "covering your bets." Playing both sides of the ticket. Leaving nothing to chance.

Giving Cruz credibility with the base then could help the GOPe later. Like now.

Maybe it was the vote that was part of the deal that McConnell lied about?

Remember the deal. Cruz voted for TPA cloture, McConnell promised not to bring up the EXIM bank, McConnell did bring up EXIM, and then Cruz called him a liar.

McConnell got what he wanted and Cruz got cover for his vote.
