I'm fascinated to think you might actually believe this. First, let's be clear:
1) If Cruz suggested anything remotely like this, I would immediately suspect he got his law degree at Trump University.
2) The whole reason people are staying true to Cruz despite the propaganda and defamation leveled against him is precisely because we want somebody we know will both honor and understand the US Constitution, and the President's role in defending it.
So no, it would be a deal-breaker, because it would:
a) reflect serious ignorance of the law, the Constitution, and the role of the executive branch, and
b) be a complete betrayal of the Cruz brand, conservative constitutionalist. Trump's brand is entirely different. It's just, "Trust me. I'm smarter than everybody else, and I know how to get my way." He can give lip service to the Constitution, but he's not branded on it like Cruz.
But again, my real curiosity is that you even suggest this "moral equivalence," between Cruz and Trump fans, as if this issue was entirely driven by the team jersey, and not by legal and moral substance. It seems to suggest you do not understand what drives the pro-Cruz base. If you did, you would already know what I've been saying. Interesting.

Read my later posts.
If Cruz had proposed this, you would have probably tried to fit it within what your beliefs about him are. You are certain that he’s a Constitutional guru, so you’d be trying to fit what he says into a Constitutional framework.
Conversely, you seem to be absolutely certain that Trump is pure evil, so you immediately interpret everything he says in the worst possible way.
And because I defend Trump, you ALSO assume that everything I say comes from being a cultist or ignorant or stupid or evil.
Also interesting.
Seems that my moral equivalency comment got exactly the response I intended.
