From what little I read, they like to style themselves, ‘neverTrump/neverHillary.’ I.e.: deep thinkers, they aren’t.
But I like you’re closing thought. Perhaps once their self-absorbed sense of ultimate betrayal wears off [as it will; they being about as mature as they are circumspect], Cruz’ arguments will sink in, and Trump will get some of their votes, at least.
Someone needs to let those geniuses know that one or the other of these two will be our next president. This is the most consequential election in ages, but they’re acting like it isn’t really that big of a deal if Hillary gets in (as if there will still be a viable national conservative movement after full amnesty and a 6-3 or 7-2 hard-left Supreme Court).
It’s funny, though. I argued with these sorts before, and I’ve never had one of them put forward good reasons why they hate Trump and don’t care if he loses to Hillary. Either they have nothing truly significant or substantive to hit him on (as if eminent domain or Trump’s past personal life are the most important issues facing our nation), they act irrationally hysterical (Trump is Hitler! He’s going to scrap the Constitution!), or they radically misrepresent his positions, statements, and history (showing that their Trump hatred isn’t based in reality but just the biases they developed during the primaries).
