I started off as a supporter of Cruz, and it became clear once the pressure of having Trump enter the race, that Cruz had some serious issues as a candidate, I would draw an analogy between Ted Cruz and (appropriately) a classic Cuban Edsel along with other cars from the 50's that were trapped without genuine parts or service after Castro took over, they were kept running through ingenuity, jerry rigging, applying non-automotive solutions, but even with all of those herculean efforts, underneath the sheet metal?
It's still an Edsel:
(actual Edsel convertible in Cuba)
I predict that after this election cycle is over, that there will be at least one or more books coming
out that will attempt to analyze and explain "What Went Wrong With Cruz", after this wild and in
some cases, unseemly drama that we have witnessed, I can't see him continuing in politics.
