I liked Cruz and think is intelligent and conservative.

I am wary of how he works with Lindsey Graham, Romney, the Bushes and the big DC PACs.

I believe it is more complicated than simply being an insider or an outsider.

I was for Cruz, but have become cool of late (I don't like the desperation that he's been demonstrating). I think his "working" with Graham and others is more about the appearance of seeming to do so rather than any hard/fast reality. I know that's all it takes (leaving the impression), so it has become increasingly difficult to say anything to defend his actions (most of which I cannot). My gut tells me (and who are we to be listening to my gut) that Trump gets the nomination and loses the general and America, as we know it, ceases to be (yeah, a bit pessimistic there).
