I really don’t understand why Cruz was so willing to work with the GOP-e; disavowing the GOP-e would have gotten him a nice position in the Trump Administration and would have almost guaranteed him the next nomination. Instead, Cruz was willing to give disgraced GOP-e hacks like Neil Bush a platform.
He’s still not going to win the nomination (at a brokered convention, the GOP-e stabs him in the back), and he’s pissed off enough conservatives that he probably wouldn’t get the nomination in 2024 or the next viable year. He did a lot of good before the nomination, then he completely destroyed his own legacy because he was so desperate to get the nomination this year.
At this point, he’d be lucky to keep his Senate seat.
I agree with all you said.
I don’t understand why he has done this. His easiest path to the presidency was as Trump’s VP.
Trump won’t run for a second term IMO... President Cruz would have been his second term.
At this point, hed be lucky to keep his Senate seat.

You are assuming that Cruz would even run again for the Senate. Look at his work
history and you’ll find he’s not someone to hang on to one job/position for more than
four/five years then he’s on to something else So a six year term in the Senate and
he’s most likely moving anyway based upon his work history.
