Sen. Ted Cruz’s wipeout in the New York primary, while expected, nevertheless rattled many Republican insiders and activists who did not foresee the magnitude of the defeat. Is Cruz crumbling? Was Wisconsin an anomaly? The Cruz campaign set itself up, sending the candidate to campaign for days in New York and suggesting that Cruz could pick off congressional districts. He didn’t, and worse, came in third. Expectations should have been kept low. Really low.
Just as they recovered from New York, anti-Trump Republicans looked up to see a batch of polls from the states that will be voting on April 26. Trump is ahead by a healthy margin in all of them. Gulp. Trump is winning by 18 points in one California poll. According to another report, Cruz is tied in two Indiana polls and behind in one. Yikes.

He is hell bent for a Hillary presidency, as are his sponsors.
Wrong verb tense. ;)
One can hope he is.
No, I think the phrase should be:
Has Cruz Cratered?
Jebbifer Rubin’s masters are displeased that they are having such a hard time getting their amnesty candidate.
Even Plan F is not working out.
It’s over. Cruz has lost.
Irony in that the same stubbornness the GOPe chastised Cruz about regarding the government shutdown is what they’re counting on from him to stop Trump.
Cruz is finished as a politician if he persists and loses...something else the elites could care less about.
“Yet Cruz refuses the honorable course and continues to drive the party to all out civil war rather than uniting around the obvious presumptive nominee.
He is hell bent for a Hillary presidency, as are his sponsors.”
I think you are correct:
GOPe is in bed with the Democrats for a Hillary presidency.
See:
Tech billionaires (major Dem donors) plot with GOP leaders at exclusive island resort to stop Trump
The Cruz Collapse is in full swing. Nobody likes a spoiler.

West Coast Support for Trump
A Capitol Weekly/Sextant Strategies poll found conservative Californians overwhelmingly support Donald Trump, the real estate mogul who just locked up 89 delegates in the Empire State.
Of 1,165 Republicans surveyed, 41 percent favor Trump. Texas Gov. Ted Cruz received 23 percent support, followed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 21 percent.
Trump maintains vehement support along the California coast, from San Diego to the Bay Area, much of it coming from Baby Boomers and Silent Generation voters. Those already registered chose Trump over Cruz by 32 percentage points.
Cruz crumbled long ago, when he sold out to the GOPe, who, as you said, and I also found, is in bed with the Dems for a Hillary presidency.
Right you are !
Indiana is a huge key. If cruz can win their, it will make a huge difference.
In the same vein, CA is a major key. If Trump does better thetre, it could easily make up for a loss in IN.
But if Cruz does well in IN and in CA, then he will deny Trump the 1,237. The question will be by how much.
I personally feel that Trump may do better than these results...we will just have to wait and see.
My biggest issue is November and the GOP avoiding a split resulting over an ugly convention fight that leads to a DNC win. we simply MUST avoid that.
For that reason I sent the following:

Cruz is finished as a politician if he persists and loses...something else the elites could care less about.
It will be like when Michael said to Fraedo: “You’re nothing to me now....”
He has cratered, Jim!
He has cratered, Jim!
and just send money...whatever you can...or I'll have Heidi start whining too...
