You’re kind of comparing apples to oranges here. These people aren’t endorsing Ted Cruz for President, they’re endorsing him as a 1,237 spoiler in the hopes of a contested convention so they can install GOPe. And Ted is happy to accept that outcome.

Exactly. I have no objection to Ted Cruz or anyone else running if he had a plausible path to the nomination. Cruz doesn't, if he has any sense, he knows that he won't get the 80%+ of remaining delegates that he needs. That means that he's knowingly doing this to give the GOP the brokered convention that it wants.

Cruz probably also realizes that he's about as well-liked as Trump within the party and has zero chance of being the nominee at a brokered convention, where someone to the RNC's liking like Bush or Romney will be the likely nominee.

So Ted isn't even running for Ted anymore, he's just become an attack dog for Jeb and Mitt.

I'd bet that Cruz has struck a deal whereby he gets nominated to the Supreme Court in exchange for denying Trump the presidential nomination.

That's how our government works. The elites make deals.

Donald Trump will not get 1237 delegates before the GOP convention. With Rubio out, Ted Cruz will win more of the remaining delegates than Trump.
It's going to come down to the convention, same as Reagan versus Gerald Ford in 1976. I still remember all these jokers calling on Reagan to withdraw before the convention.
