LOL. Now Cruz is a favorite of the GOPe. You shouldn't start drinking this early in the day.
It's too early to drink! My guess is that the truth of Trump's primacy is settling in with the GOPe and they are now looking to Cruz as an “alternative,” because they see the handwriting on the wall with the Cabana Boy. BTW, years ago, I was an elected member of the Republican Central Committee of my county here in California. They were a worthless bunch of do-nothings then, and I don't expect there have been any improvements anywhere in the country in the intervening time. These folks are what you call "Country Club Republicans."
