Outside of his home state area Cruz seems to need establishment help to win the states he did. The Mormon mafia in Utah and the Walker machine in Wisconsin for example. Trump won the states he did using less than a skeleton crew around him - no polling - no superpacs - no focus groups - no speech writers and almost no money spent.
Trump is running his own ads. Just heard one in PA today.
Trump had a lot of endorsements in Arizona. He got endorsed in Maine and still lost.
The states Cruz has won are very consistent by region and by how conservative they are. Cruz wins red states and Trump wins blue states, other than the southeast, where the vote-splitting helped Trump win with similar shares of the vote that resulted in losses in later states.
Since when are Mormons “mafia?”
Cruz is a complete dud of a candidate!
