Because in order or Cruz to be nominated he must take on and beat Trump. Regardless of what you think about him, he is in to win.
If he can beat him, he should just beat him. He shouldn’t need to team up with the ‘cartel’ as he calls them. Trump certainly doesn’t need the ‘cartel’ to beat Ted.
Trump people were convinced Cruz was being unfair to their guy and divisive by no dropping out after SC.
I don’t expect Cruz to tommy-gun the gop-e anymore after yesterday, but I do expect him to win or die trying. DT’s folks think that’s offensive and irrational and completely uncalled for, LOL.
