The entire theme of Cruz’s speech led to the inexorable conclusion that Trump must be elected.
He is so tone deaf he didn’t realize he was defiling his own high sounding words.
As one who supported Cruz, I will say that tone-deaf seemed to be the campaign theme (and the author of the article has a pretty bad case of it as well.) I liked his qualifications and his willingness to take a stand. His ability to alienate the left (including the RINOs) was a badge of honor until it became apparent his real ability was to alienate everybody. Barring a miraculous rehabilitation, Sarah Palin's "delete your career" will be a fitting epitaph.
