“He has a messianic view of his self importance”
Pretty much sums it up. And goes a long way toward explaining why Cruz with the second largest delegate count is not cutting a deal for VP or Scalia’s chair in the high court. He is burning all his bridges and will soon be back in his senate seat wondering what happened. I would further speculate that his wife Heidi is incapable of getting him to listen to reason.
It is illegal to cut deals for positions.
