Sheldon Adelson backed Nute, maybe the fact that Cruz is an outspoken Israel supporter will get him a few patrons who could back Ted up with some money.
Time to break the GOP losing the White House with Rinos.
Also, Ted has to get some of those conservative Governors to endorse him.
Cruz has not completed his first term in the Senate. I would prefer that he do that and then run for a second term.
