His own party rejects him, and that rejection highlights the schism inside the Republican party.

The party establishment rejects him.

It remains to be seen to what extent the broader party memberships rejects him. Some certainly will, like the moderates (BFD).

But the same thing was the case with Reagan.

There was a good article posted yesterday on Cruz's route to the nomination. Knock Huckabee, Carson and Perry out by consolidating and taking the Evangelical vote. Talk Libertarian enough to suck votes away from Rand Paul. Then turn to deal with Walker, ending up as the direct counter to Bush.

If Cruz does that, and it is possible, then the GOPe will cut all sorts of deals with him to lock in their organizational and financial support. Again, just like Reagan did.
