In a sign of how truly dire things have become for the GOP this presidential election cycle, an increasing number of big-name Republicans are turning to Ted Cruz—arguably the party's least-liked member—in an effort to prevent the current front-runner, Donald Trump, from hijacking the party's nomination.

On Thursday, Cruz won the grudging support of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who until December was one of Cruz's rivals for the Republican nomination. Graham's antipathy for his fellow senator is well known

And on March 8, Jeb Bush's younger brother, Neil, joined Cruz's campaign finance team.

I like the GOPe/MSM talking point that Trump is “hijacking” the nomination.
Because, you know, elections working out the way the globalists didn’t hope for is a crime.
Carly “cheap labor express” Fiorina at the border with Cruz. The events of the last week or so have shown that Ted has sold his soul to the Washington insiders.
Thanks Ted, you suck. Get out now and spare yourself some big time humilations that is surely going to come your way.
What this article forgot is that GOPe wanted Cruz to kiss the ring of Mitch McConnell and apologize for calling him a liar for party support. Cruz response- BIT ME. And remember when Trump says nobody in DC likes Cruz, this is why and it is GOOD THING.
We shall see how a rally with Glenn Beck in Utah goes over with the voting public not living in Utah.
sholdn’t that be “arguably the party’s SECOND least-liked member”?
If they select Cruz after Trump beats him severely...
CHAOS.
Really? How is that? Perhaps you could offer something substantive rather than typical fan boy mud and innuendo.
Reality is some RINO’s hate Cruz more than Trump and some hate Trump more than Cruz. So they are all over the place. But hate is all they have.
Cruz should know they won’t work with him...they’ll ignore him as much as possible, just like the Democrat party ignored and hated Jimmy Carter....he had a bad relationship with the Democrat controlled Congress from 1977 to 1981...a lot of people forget that.
Why did he have a bad relationship? One BIG reason was because he was an OUTSIDER who came in as President. He wasn’t a creature of Washington. (I believe another was because he was much more of a pacifist than many Beltway Democrats at the time—remember, there USED to be hawks in the Democrat caucus.)
Mitch McConnell isn’t going to give Ted Cruz a few tens of millions of super PAC dollars, so he doesn’t have to kiss his ring.
He kisses the rings behind the curtain to get those Keep the Promise MCMLXXVII dollars, like a good DC whore.
Note to Newsweak: If R voters give Trump the win, that does not constitute a ‘hijacking’. This is why nobody reads your sorry rag anymore.
Maybe Trump will bankrupt the GOPes, just like they did the klan.
“Stayed in bed all mornin’ just to pass the time.
There’s somethin’ wrong here, there can be no denyin’.
One of us is changin’, or maybe we’ve just stopped tryin’.
And it’s too late, baby now, it’s too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin’ inside has died, and I can’t hide,
And I just can’t fake it, oh, no, no.”
Carole King
That’s the kind of flirting that’s gets you arrested. Worlds oldest profession.
Trump for President.
That is because Cruz is a globalist and corporatist and in favor of increased legal immigration beyond our ability to absorb them.
These Pubs are now going to make a deal. Cruz as prez and they won’t send him anything really populist conservative to sign and he will find a reason that he can’t undo all of Obamas’Executive Orders and we are still victims to the globalists et. al.
Do not doubt it.
The GOPe’s will use Cruz and then toss him aside.
The republican party supporting Ted Cruz will certainly be the kiss of death to his campaign.
