Because Cruz has beaten GOPE multiple times.
Not with what has developed with Cruz's campaign he hasn't. He is a part of them now but it's pretty obvious to most, the GOPe is just using Cruz.
I'm going to repeat this because you said "Cruz is the best candidate running with regard to the values of free republic."
That is just not true because Cruz easily gave up his conservative principles to get in bed with the GOPe. The establishment represents, statism or globalism which I will have to remind you, ARE NOT the values of a free republic.
You can be in denial all you want, it doesn't make what you originally said, that is quoted, true.
