If Ted Cruz had suspended his run, and fully endorsed Trump say three weeks ago, he’d be a future president, or a supreme court justice, his choice, and it would have been absolutely in the bag... a sure thing. That he stuck it out tells me he plays checkers, not chess.
It looks like Rubio will be the last man standing against Trump, internal polling has him challenging Cruz for second depending on turnout

Wel said and couldn’t agree more . No way in hell Cruz could win this time around . It’s Trump or whoever the Rats end up with .
Not only has Cruz proved he plays checkers, not chess, but with the incredibly dumb move by his campaign intimidating and shaming Iowa voters, he has moved from checkers to mud wrestling. OVer 500 FReepers have already commented here and almost all very negative. Cruz is toast in Iowa, and perhaps everywhere now.

If Cruz doesn’t make it, he’ll endorse Rubio. Rubio is a depressing candidate - most obviously because of his willingness to embrace the establishment on the issue of immigration - but when the alternative is the full-spectrum Progressive-Statist-Crony Capitalist Trump, Rubio becomes the necessary choice.
If which point, those who still care about liberty will have to focus on getting more libertarian constitutionalist types in Congress.
Yes, it’s too bad. I kinda think his heart’s in the right place, but once he started rolling out the Christian loons, I knew he was not serious about winning.
