Being a ‘maverick’ or independent original is one thing. That’s how I used to see people like Cruz and Rand Paul. I was very proud of him then, especially when he called out Mitch McConnell as a two faced liar. But being a ‘stick in the mud’ or debilitating wrench in the cogs of your political party is not productive.
Cruz is creating new enemies in both the GOPe and the Trump wings of the party. Not smart. Better that he keep a lower profile for the remainder of the campaign. Cruz should think about how angry the republicans were at Chris Christie in 2012. Many blamed Christie for Romney’s slide in popularity. Some remain angry at Christie to this day, and want nothing to do with him.
Let him channel whatever anger he has for Democrats.
Then we can talk.
