Hard to say whether Cruz is and outside-inner or inside-outer. Could be he is just as opportunist. He was part of the Bush Administration, did a great Job as Texas Attorney General, and has a suspect Senate record.

He is either a willing participant with the GOPe effort for a brokered convention, someone who may believe he could be the nominee from a brokered convention (believing McConnell’s lies again or Ryan who co-wrote the WSJ article with Cruz supporting the TPA) or is simply a tool of the GOPe. In any case he will not be the nominee of the .republican party but the person who enables the GOPe to retain control of the party.

If Cruz is the person to allow the GOPe to retain control of the party he will be forever infamous.

You are right. We have one shot at this. If Trump loses, the GOPe will be safe for the foreseeable future, and this perfect storm won't appear again. Trump has the potential to unite disaffected Democrats, independents, people who have given up on the political process, and conservatives who have been outside-looking-in for a very long time. This coalition is necessary to upend the stranglehold that the establishment parties have on the political process. The only thing that Cruz can do is either get out of the way, or throw the establishment a life-line. If he doesn't get out of the way, I don't care what his position papers say, I don't care how great a debater he is, I don't care what stands he has taken in the past are -- he will become dirt in the eyes of those who realize that he destroyed the one chance we had to pull off a miracle and have a grass-roots driven, peaceful, political revolution.
