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.

I think Trump is an imposter but it would be absurd for me to wish he would quit. It's understandable that you want to defeat Cruz. It's understandable that you might never support Cruz. But it's just silly to wish he would quit.
