While Cruz supporters will take offense to that statement, the shoe fits for the most part. Cruz is still in his first term and other than his good intentions, he doesn't have much of a senatorial record so far. He pretty much started running for president as soon as he got to Capitol Hill. It would have been nice if he had put more time into building a record of accomplishment to run on.
Of course, Trump will be in the same position himself if he gets elected and then doesn't accomplish anything once in the White House. But knowing Trump and his past history, does anybody think that is going to happen? With Trump, I think he is going to be rock and rolling from Day One. I don't expect there will be many boring days in a Trump Administration.
If I was Ted Cruz, I would consider the fact that I am still only 44 years old and will have plenty of other chances to run for president. If I can drop out of the race and throw my support behind Trump, I will likely obtain a large and prominent role in his Administration, putting myself in good position not only to share in the success but to make a case to be his successor in either 2020 or 2024.

That bridge is burned. No going back after the #nevertrump and the KKK stuff. The Dems have all their attack ads for November already in the can thanks to Cruzbio and the rest of the GOPe.
