Now, in Cruz’s defense—and trust me, that’s a lot coming from me, considering how disgusted I am with his lies lately—this Beck thing may be ignorance rather than outright malice or worse, believing what Beck is saying.
Beck had a reputation for being crazy before this campaign, but most of the words used about him were the same words that are used about people like Limbaugh or Coulter, or even Trump. Ted’s team obviously didn’t do the research, or maybe not the RIGHT research, but when someone who is at least SEEN as a conservative talk show personality wants to endorse you? Well...
But now Beck is on board the train to crazy town. It seems at the moment that Cruz has been trying to downplay this connection—at least I haven’t seen any dual events as of late. I could be wrong, but it seems that Cruz is trying to quietly distance himself from Beck.
But now Cruz is faced with a tough choice. Keep Beck and all his baggage, or dump him. Normally, dumping him would be the obvious choice, but 1: that may show a lack of loyalty, and 2: If Beck goes off on Cruz after this, he’ll probably do a lot of damage, and for that matter, expose all the crazy that Cruz tolerated for a long time. Both options are bad news.
Not a choice I’d want to make, for sure.
Well, there is a third choice.
Considering all the missteps that the Cruz campaign has made lately, I’m half expecting Cruz to come out with a statement that yes he IS the Chosen One.
But that’s just me being nasty, so you can probably ignore that.

He’s the “face of God” per his wife. He might well be drinking his own snake oil.
