His "base"???? What "base"?
You are as delusional as he is.
Cruz has nothing. Zip, zero, nada.
His repulsive behavior during the primary campaign had already tanked the bulk of any support.
By the end of this evening, he had lost all but his pathetic Amanda goomad, his weird father, 130 social media fans and 27 paid cable tv shills.
Toast.
