Cruz base of support was small and is even smaller now. He lost every group he was supposed to lead. He's made a complete political and personal fool of himself. Who wants or respects a person that keeps insisting on relevance long after they have been defeated, rejected, and shown to be an outright liar. Lyn' Ted has no present and no future.
As I have noted elsewhere on FR, I'll donate to his Democratic opponent if that is what it takes to see him kicked out of the Senate. He, especially, and Cantor and McConnell need to be dumped, dumped hard. Trump is the instrument of that party purge--either support him or be tossed.
You misspelled "Ryan"...
