If Ted Cruz was such a great candidate, why does he need Trump to blow it up so he could put it back together? Shouldn’t Cruz’ virtues show through and put him on top?

In a perfect world, yes. But we don't live in a perfect world, we live in an Idiocracy of a country. And it takes a carnival barker like Trump to get the attention of the Low-Info Voter.

Aha so now we blame the voters instead of the candidate who is unable to connect & resonate with them. Fail!

Correct. We don’t live in a perfect world. So Cruz needs to step it up before he becomes the best, most conservative candidate to exit the race if he’s that good.

Trump may just be Cruz's own god-sent "stalking horse."

Stalking Horse

a political candidate who runs only in order to provoke the election and thus allow a stronger candidate to come forward.
