You have great faith in Ted Cruz.
I think it was more suburban Romney Republicans who defected or stayed home.
No, I don't mean Romney masterminded the whole thing.
I mean Ted Cruz and Cruzites don't amount to much nationally.
Trump won because he was able to pick up votes in liberal Democrat states.
The Cruz voters were in states Trump had already won, states that Republicans always win.
“You have great faith in Ted Cruz.

Cruz gave Aid and Comfort to EVERY REPUBLICAN who had doubts about Trump. A solid endorsement almost certainly would have helped Trump to the point of not having the super-close states and not having nearly as fodder to claim ‘Russian Interference’ made the difference.
Now Cruz, probably like most people (certainly most Republicans) figured that Trump would likely be blown out, so obviously Russia wouldn’t have mattered. But the reason you SUPPORT THE PARTY’S CANDIDATE is because you cannot be sure of the outcome, regardless of what CNN polling is saying.
“The Cruz voters were in states Trump had already won, states that Republicans always win.”
True, but there are still hundreds of thousands of them in the Midwest (maybe not millions as in Texas and the South, but hundreds of thousands).
If Cruz had told his voters to actually support Trump, those states wouldn’t have been the nail-biters they were and the Russian crap and other crap wouldn’t have gotten nearly as far as it has (and still may result in half of Trump’s people winding up with felony convictions).
Being a WISE-ASS has consequences.
