But he has such an uphill battle to wage before he can secure that result.
He has to "fight" his own party — the establishment GOP regards him as a total outsider respecting their institutional concerns and commitments; a subversive, an interloper, and quite possibly a mentally unbalanced person.
If feel pretty sure Senator Cruz is aware of these party dynamics and that they are designed to put a roadblock in front of him, that he must not succeed as a candidate, by virtue of the fact that he is definitely off the "orthodox" party "reservation."
Cruz has to be off the official party reservation, because he thoroughly understands, and is genuinely committed to, the requirements of the U.S. Constitution — of which he is an expert.
Does the establishment GOP care one whit about the U.S. Constitution these days? More specifically, does their "golden boy," Jeb Bush? He of "Common Core" fame?
I am wishing Senator Ted Cruz godspeed in all regards. Not so much, Jeb Bush.
