RitaOKC had an excellent post itemizing Cruz’s establishment credentials - I’ll try to recap...and obviously Cruz supporters will ignore to support their Canuck messiah.

-Cruz voted for TPP
-Cruz voted for Corker’s Iran nuke deal
-Cruz, as an executive on NRSC, donated $250k at the behest of McConnell, that was used in the 2014 Mississippi fraud
-Cruz joined Bushie organization in 2000
-Cruz wrote WSJ op-ed to endorse Dread Pirate John Roberts for SCOTUS (an indicator of future appointments)
-Cruz now has JEB campaign team on his staff - THAT screams Establishment
-No doubt, Hellry would not only sue him (NBC) if Cruz is nominee but would eat him alive on debates. A polite Hahvud debater is NOT what is needed to defeat the witch
-Heidi Cruz on CFR’s North American Union that pushes NO BORDERS
-Cruz was supporting amnesty...until recently - a move so transparent anyone can see his dishonesty
-Jeff Sessions endorsed Trump - not Cruz
-Sarah Palin endorsed Trump - not Cruz
-Cruz continues to partner with the lunatic Glenn Beck

Cruzers need to wake up and see Cruz as the stealth Establishment candidate he always has been.

Whether you’re correct or not, it’s not going to happen. Not even going to be considered.

The tribalism that’s taken hold of many Cruzies (and Trumpees) is beyond logic; it’s gotten into tribalism and defense mechanisms.

Specifically, splitting, in the psychological sense. Because Cruz (or Trump) isn’t doing as well as they want him to be doing, and they can’t handle that, then one of them is 100% good and pure and virtuous, and the other is 100% wicked and evil. Cruz hasn’t been doing well—or Trump hasn’t been winning as much as he should be, or whatever—and therefore it must be because Trump and his supporters are purely evil. (Again, or vice versa, because there’s some of it on our side too.)

It’s a fairly primal defense mechanism, but it’s not uncommon.

Buuuuut I’m very sure that they’re not going to listen, at least not to someone online who they see as the enemy.
