You got it a little backwards...Lobbyists are paying Cruz...In this case Trump is paying the lobbyists...

Good to see that Trump is hiring the best. The firm, Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly (now Prime Policy Group) is one of the best on K Street. Members of that team have vast experience advising successful Presidential campaigns of Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush and Bill Clinton (unfortunately, they weren’t able to overcome the shortcomings of the McCain or Romney campaigns, but I blame that on the shortfalls of the candidates, not the lobbying firm). They also have great experience with foreign relations, having worked to lobby for Mohamed Siad Barre of Somalia, Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines, Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, and Jonas Savimbi of Angola, as well as its successor supporting the Iraqi National Congress. I am certain that this experience will help them advise Mr. Trump on who he needs to bring on board for his foreign policy team.

That Mr. Trump has two of the partners of that firm (Paul J. Manafort and Roger J. Stone) on his team is impressive for being able to negotiate within the Beltway. And that the third member of the original team, Charles Black, is an advisor to the Kasich team shows how good the team was.

I think this really bodes well for the Trump campagin. Hopefully he will be able to bring Mr. Black onboard after Kasich folds. Well done, sir!!!
