Jebbie, yes. The other RINOs, most likely. But there were others in the field who stood strong on principle.

Well, Cruz had a following like that. Cruzers tend to be very loyal and dedicated.

any other Republican would have capitulated at the first cry of "racism" or "sexism."

There were other candidates who had a demonstrated record of standing up to that kind of abuse, even from fellow Republicans (let alone Dhimmicraps.)

Exactly. The fix was in, so why bother with the physically demanding need to actually campaign? It worked so well in the primaries, after all. Especially with her iffy state of health. Her handlers clearly understood that the best way for the campaign to implode were for her to have another "public" episode like the 9/11 ceremonies, so best to lie low and let "the machine" do the work.

Fortunately for history, those plans didn't quite work out.

No, Cruz NEVER had the volume of, nor the diversity of supporters that Trump had and Teddy lost most of his once staunch supporters, during the primaries and especially after the GOP convention.

Oh yes, they were a merry, nasty little band here ( and I was once a Cruz supporter, so don't even attempt to go there ), but it was much thinner in the real world, and he could NEVER have beaten Hillary, had he somehow won the primary.

HOGWASH...you are either lying, or you have a problem with short term memory.

Go back, on FR, and read the threads from '15 onwards, that have anything at all to do with Cruz. As you go along, more and more poster, POSTERS WHO HAD ONCE BEEN HUGE CRUZ SUPPORTERS, were completely turned off my him and those on his team.

And it was even worse, in the real world.

I don't have CDS; however, your Cruz kneepads are soiled, shredded, in tatters, and in desperate need of removal; so too the scales from your eyes. ;^)

Not sure if it was worse than McCain, he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
