Wrong, Cruz had massive grass roots support and hugely successful fundraising because of it. He would have the nomination locked up now if not for the undocumented Democrat Trump blocking him in a bid to help get his friends Billary elected. Cruz would’ve won Iowa and then went onto win the South, the Midwest, etc. Bush never had a chance. Rubio would’ve stayed in longer but not prevailed.
And Cruz would have lost to Hillary. He was born in Canada to parents of murky citizenship, and that’s a huge liability going up against the Clinton Machine. Add in his sleazy Elmer Gantry impersonation and his Mr. Haney voice, not to mention his Grandpa Munster face, and there’s a winning combination....said no one, ever. He may have a “brilliant mind,” which Obama also reportedly has (snicker), but Cruz is unelectable nationally because the majority of voters are shallow and superficial.
