He routinely likes and tries to have things both ways.

Not totally unusual for someone who sees himself as climbing up the ladder to the top.
Long before Cruz endorsed Trump he was dealing with the Trump campaign.

It took Ted Cruz four months and three weeks of “careful consideration, of
prayer and searching my own conscience” to declare publicly that he would
vote for Donald Trump.
He made the decision to profit by selling his supporter list to Trump far
faster than that.
Just six weeks after he dropped out – and more than a month before Cruz
would dramatically snub the nominee at the Republican National Convention
– the senator quietly began renting his vast donor email file to his former
rival, pocketing at least tens of thousands of dollars, and more likely hundreds
of thousands, that can be used to bankroll the Texan’s own political future.

Fascinating information. I didn’t know any of that about Cruz selling his supporter list, erc. Thanks for bringing me up to speed.
