Smartest thing Cruz could do is drop out and support Trump, Cruz is destroying himself, everyday is a new disaster worse than the last one. It is like watching a snail commit suicide inching along a long road to the cliff. He doesn’t have a clue how to run a successful campaign.
Cruz has run a pretty strong but very dirty campaign and if he was running as a Democrat he’d be well on the way to the nomination. Watching him steal 5 points from Ben Carson in Iowa insured that I never supported him again, but for a Dem race that type of stuff is normal and expected.
Team Cruz and Heidi would be like the Clinton’s 2.0 if they joined the other side. In fact it wouldn’t shock me if he switched sides if the sex scandal causes him to lose the race.
