They are latching on to Cruz simply because he’s all that’s left with a small chance of defeating Trump. They can’t stand Cruz either.
Cruz is too stupid to see this.
He thinks the popular kids want to be his friends. In reality, the GOPe is drunk and Ted Cruz is the ugly girl still in the bar at closing time.

Bingo. If Trump doesn’t have the 1237 going into the convention, fully expect the GOPe to push a Ryan/Fiorina or Ryan/Kasich ticket. Scott Walker’s comments about the nominee not being someone who is currently running suggests the GOPe are planning for Ryan at the top of the ticket.
