Cruz winning by assembling a coalition on helps Hillary if sore loser Trump supporters won’t support Cruz if he wins the nomination. Given what I have seen here on FR , I would not be surprised if Trumpets slink off and fail to support Cruz. Personally, I will support Trump if he wins, but I would prefer Cruz and hope he ultimately prevails.
So are Trump supporters going to be sore losers if Cruz wins?
People instinctively don’t support thieves. Which is why stealing the nomination for Cruz makes you a Hillery supporter.
It is not a matter of being sore losers. Before Cruz really began campaigning and revealing who he really is (which is drastically different than who he pretends to be), I could have supported him. But now, I have realized that the only real difference between Cruz and Obama is that Cruz substituted stereotypical "conservative" positions for Obama's "liberal" positions. How can I possibly support someone who is such a pretender?
The qualities I have seen in Cruz are qualities millions of others have seen, as well. This is why he has no chance against Hillary *or* Bernie.
“So are Trump supporters going to be sore losers if Cruz wins?”
You bet. By the millions.
Because the only way Cruz can win is by underhandedly siphoning off delegates from the candidate who is clearly the choice of the majority of people who are actually allowed to VOTE. He is mathematically eliminated from winning. He should muster what little integrity he has left, go back to Texas and thump Bibles, lie, and proclaim his own greatness THERE. Jeb Bush had enough integrity to drop out when he realized he wasn’t the people’s choice - so did Rubio. Ted Cruz, it seems, doesn’t have that much good sense, because the only way he can “win” now would alienate SO many Trump voters that he could never possibly win in the general election ANYWAY. Way to go, Teddy! All for the sake of your own, insanely overblown EGO.
Hope that answers your question.

Not all of us, but enough to guarantee a Hillary victory in November.
Again, you're talking past the fact that the process woiuld be totally illegitimate, when taken as a whole.
You're dreaming. There's absolutely no way Ted Cruz coiuld unite the party, because him being in a position to even do so could only be the result of what is perceived as illegitimate tactics. Whether that's right or wrong is irrelevant. That is how it would be perceived. Tha is how I would perceive it.
Cruz and the GOPe have created this dynamic with their "NeverTrump" insanity. They failed to think it through to its logical conclusion.
That means the party burns if Trump doesn't get the nomination, understand? There is no other possibility. The GOPe and Ted Cruz have made their amoral, unprincipled, Machiavellian bed of nails, and now they're going to have to sleep in it.
That means the your boy, who has collapsed in national and state polls all over the country, will not get the GOP nomination under any circumstances.
Why? Because not only is the GOP is not suicidal, they're not going to let Ted Cruz (whom they hate) murder the party either.
Dream time is over. Moving forward, thank you for attending to reality.
So it is written, so it shall be done.
If you can concoct any plausible alternative, please, enlighten us. But it can't involve some fantasy of Ted Cruz uniting a party, the majority of whose voters will see his nomination as illegitimate, and it can't involve magic flying unicorns farting skittles which make everyone forget what has happened over the last several months with the relentless demonization and smearing of Donald Trump, in which Ted Cruz has participated energetically and wholeheartedly.
That's the fact, Jack.
