We’re starting at different premises and coming to different conclusions. I think that the democrats are likely to win in 2016 (and 2020 for that matter) no matter who their nominee is and no matter who our nominee is.
by that standard, we have little to lose. A traditional GOP candidate, particularly an obnoxious still like Cruz, is almost a certain loser. Roll the dice - an unconventional candidate waging an unconventional campaign may likely lose, but it is still our best chance (among poor chances).
A 1% chance beats a 0% chance. Anyone who looks at Cruz as the kind of guy that can win in 2016 is just not paying attention. You’d think the country would be hungry for a strong conservative after the Obama era. They’re not. Obama would handily win reelection if he could run.
We’re in a period of liberal ascent and dominance that will likely last half a century. Nothing to lose - try to score one conservative goal in a sea of losses. Cruz ain’t the guy.

Please, Trump would wipe the floor with Hillery while Cruz can’t even get more than 25% of the GOP to vote for him and has zero appeal to anyone outside the GOP. The more the public sees of Ted the less they like him.
