They hate Cruz so much that they are teaming up with him to destroy Trump.
Just think of the $millions of dollars being spent to try and destroy Trump. He has spent the least amount ( his own) of money on his campaign while others have spent the GDP of small countries. In raw votes he is beating out all candidates 2/1, yet the GOPe and all their pundits will continue going against the will of the masses to get one of their elite club members elected.
