Cruz knows he can’t win. Cruz is taking tons of money from the very establishment that he USED to complain about. Used to. Cruz has let his campaign be taken over and run by those very establishment types. The obvious conclusion is that Trump sold out. He’s working for the establishment now to stop Trump from getting into their little GOP club. His job is to deny Trump delegates and then step aside for Ryan when he’s told to.
Yes.
Cruz has a complex. He wants to be liked. He tried to join the big-boy’s club when he first went to Washington, but nobody liked him. So he joined the Tea Party. There, he found “acceptance.” He sold them snake oil, and now he has a following. He is a TV Evangelist. He wants money, power, women, and to be liked. So he sold out.
