the Cruz hate is deep here on FR, and it boggles my mind.
I agree with that. I've made no bones that while I am a Trump supporter, Cruz is my #2 pick should Trump somehow fall out of contention. But that is not good enough for some of the Cruz supporters. It's all or nothing with them and they are very bitter and disdainful towards anybody supporting Trump.
They are not winning hearts and minds with their tactics.
