You are right that Cruz is no GOPe shill.
You are wrong about “most” Cruz supporters being able accept reality.
We “Trumpkins” put up with a daily barrage on nearly every Trump thread from Cruz supporters with TDS.
The constant attacks are what has turned some “Trumpkins” away from Cruz.

I resist the urge to turn away from Cruz when I see ugly behavior from people who claim to be Cruz supporters.
I suspect some of them are really GOPe operatives who pretend to be Cruz supporters. They then behave belligerently and un-Cruz-like against Trump and Trump supporters.
This lets them damage both Trump and Cruz in the process.
It would be nice if true Cruz supporters would denounce the belligerents, telling them they are damaging Cruz's cause and reputation. It's up to them to protect Cruz.
