It time for Cruz to have an intervention. He's gone off the deep end. He has to remember he is a sitting Senator representing people in Texas, has a full time job he is neglecting and has zero interest in and is embarrassing himself. He is becoming a joke because he won't suspend his campaign when it is obvious he has lost. Is Cruz being black mailed? Either he is truly psychotic or he is being blackmailed. No other primary candidate has gone off the deep end like Cruz is doing.
