The GOPe won’t do it.
GOPe in addition to being obnoxious is squishy whenever pressure is applied. Normally that comes from the left, but it can come from above, i.e. from Trump. Cruz plan lets Trump, via Pence, claim credit for finding away out of the RyanCare mess. Trump loves winning, enjoys the credit and especially loves receiving credit for outside the box solutions to intractable problems. This makes quite the pile of carrots Ted has left for Trump and few, outside of D.C. , will realize where credit is really due. But if it works Trump will know and will be more willing to listen to Ted. Adding a Cruz control option to the Trumpmobile may help in future crises.
