I am a Wisconsinite and a Cruz fan. In the upcoming primary I am strongly considering voting for Trump. Seeing Cruz welcome endorsements from Bush and Romney, seeing him try to work a backroom deal with Rubio, and seeing him play the "nothing to see here move along" game with his natural born citizen eligibility problem instead of facing it with honor, all cheese me off. That's politics as usual. I don't want politics as usual. I believe Cruz is a good man and a reliable conservative. I believe he is more conservative than Trump. But it no longer appears his goal is to turn the establishment on its ear. It appears he is joining the establishment to stop Trump. And though I disagree with Trump on many things, I will not support Cruz as he joins a coalition of those who view me as a "whacko bird" for being a constitutional conservative patriot, and who oppose me for it.

I disagree, I don’t see Ted coming to them, I see them coming to him.
Really, who wouldn’t welcome most endorsements? He won’t win on strong conservatives alone. He will need to pull people together if he ever wants to get anything done.
Plus, he will really need these people if it goes to a contested convention.
I have no fear that he will do what he has promised, he always has before.

First I was Cruz. I don’t know how Cruz swayed so far from his original message. Maybe it was all an act. Then I was hoping for Trump/Cruz to take on Washington. Now, Cruz has lost me. Nothing specific he has done. The little things keep adding up.

I do think immigration is the most important issue this campaign. It’s a national security issue. If not for Trump we wouldn’t even be talking about it. Cruz original wanted many more H1B visas and refuges but has shifted to a more anti immigration stance. If he is the nominee, Is that going to change now that he has teamed up with the cheap labor express?
