We are witnessing Cruz commit political suicide in real time.

Indeed we are. It's unfortunate that he has become so desperate as to head down this road. Naming a VP in iCarly was not the answer to his electoral woes. I understand that it's hard to lose, and to someone like Trump (assuming you view him negatively).

At this point for Cruz, it is better to accept defeat with grace, and move forward to salvage what's left of his reputation. I appreciate the crash it big idea, but it's a fools errand. Cruz has much to contribute to a Trump administration and he would be wise to bury the hatchet with Trump, congratulate him on his victory and move on in a way that is positive for the country as a whole. The pettiness we are seeing now, is unbecoming, and is showing a sign of the very narcissism he complains about in others.

The idea that he's going to win the nomination in a contested convention is nutty. Even further...does he honestly think that by displaying the petulance we are seeing now is going to endear him to the voters come November were he to prevail at the convention? I doubt it.

It would have been better if Cruz had been gracious in accepting defeat, move on, go back to the Senate, and make peace with Trump as well as offer congrats to him.
