These establishment guys were never for Cruz earlier.

Quite the opposite.

The only thing Ted has been able to pull off is Grahamnesty’s wedding dress yesterday.

Derailing Trump will require a big surge from Cruz from here on out. Can he do it?

So cruise isn't in to win, just to stop Trump. Smart.

Cruz is starting to accept the support of the establishment.

That is new, and I believe that is very wrong.

However this is just my opinion.

It is however, a very strong impression I am gathering.

“Right now, as a #NeverTrump guy, I’m rooting hard for Ted Cruz.”

I’d watch your back Ted.

He’s in the running for the nomination, just like Trump. And Jim Geraghty doesn’t speak for Cruz.

Ther are not “falling behind” him.

They are using him to sop up delegates to keep them from Trump.

Once they get enough, they will toss him into the ditch.

Only the fool fanboys of Cruz think that this is the GOPE embracing Cruz because they are “surrendering” to him.

It’s hard not to.

He never solicited it, or compromised to get it.

It’s a catch-22 for Cruz.

If they back him and he doesn’t win, they blame him.

In reality it is Cruz triumphing over his former adversaries. They gave in, not Cruz.

No Cruz is in it to WIN it.

Ask Dewhirst how it felt to have that Senate seat within reach with all your over the top smear tactics

There is no question if Ted starts winning Trump will go ballistic with his NBC, liar crap.

Trump lies about the wall and lies about not being a liberal.

I am afraid that you are right. He thinks he will get something out of this, but he won’t. You make a deal with the devil, don’t be surprised if you get burned.

Cruz is running to keep Trump from getting it. That is all he can realistically hope to do at this point.

I hate the term “anti-Trump vote”. There are good positive reasons to support Cruz, and this election is not about Trump, its about survival.

Yes, Teddy is going to be the spolier who sticks us with the GOPe for good.

I hope his massive ego is worth it because he ain’t going to be a popular guy.

I agree, except they are swallowing a huge chunk of crow to do this.

It may look that way to you.

It appears from here, he is selling out to the establishment.

Just like every single candidate for over the last generation.

That is exactly the problem with the GOP, and the entire establishment. They have built up a very big, very expensive monstrosity which really doesn’t do anything for America.

Cruz seems to have signed on, to that.

Maybe not to you. But it seems so, from here.
