My take on it is that the establishment will use Cruz to try to take down Trump, then turn on Cruz, who they actually hate more.
After they have demonized Cruz, and pushed Rubio up in the media swarm, they will release negative info on Rubio, leaving Jeb! standing as our only choice.
Then, business as usual. because they really don’t care who wins as long as they can be controlled by the status quo.
Therefor, I am sticking with the loose cannon, who has a chance to attract voters from both sides, but, I do recognize the risk involved.
Trump is not a perfect candidate. The question we have to ask ourselves is - can our preferred “perfect candidate” get elected?
If not, can anything done to clean up the mess we are in?
Even if the perfect candidate (Cruz) wins, the mess we are in is so deep, dark and ingrained that I'm not very optimistic. Whoever wins is going to get crushed under the strain of a collapsing civilization.

In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
I agree with your scenario, but after the Rubio takedown its gonna be Paul Ryan by GOPe acclimation at the convention. (according to the little birdies in the media)
Good analyses and I agree.
I’ve concluded that Trump is the right wrench to throw into the wheels of The Cheap Labor Express.
I think you are right, but you aren't filtering in the fact that Cruz has already BEAT the GOPe and elite media once in Texas, and he's using that experience on a national scale now.
They threw everything but the kitchen sink at him and swore that he could never beat Dewhurst........and yet it was Cruz who went to Washington....and his election led to a movement still determined to rid Texas of the rest of their Rinos
He's a scrapper, and has more American support behind him than the media will EVER tell you......so I wouldn't throw in the towel for him til the last vote drops.
