Cruxbots remember your guy would get even worse treatment.
That is exactly right. If Trump were out of the picture, do Cruz’ers think their guy would be elevated to take the lead?
Maybe-—IF he’d sign on with the GOPe and keep the money flowing, go along to get along, and so on.
But would he? Would Cruz fall into line and get onboard, making deals behind scenes and doing what he’s told?
