Money. There was money available to run against Trump until Indiana then it dried up. The 2 stooges accepted it and tried to make a showing. It didn't work.
Cruz wasn't always a stooge but you could feel his pivot to nothing but "Stop Trump" once the "Stop Trump" money came his way.
Cruz was my guy but once his campaign went into "Stop Trump" mode he seemed to cheapen his campaign and it really turned me off.
The campaign exposed Lyin’ Ted as a longtime Bush Establishmentarian as well as Heidi’s Goldman-Sachs “NO BORDERS” North American Union.
These people are the Crony Establishment we just beat in Round 1 of our hostile takeover and they and their ilk should never be in positions of power again.
