I think that Cruz would do himself a whole lot of good if he launched his 2018 reelection with something like an "I was wrong" campaign. If Cruz begins with apologizing for his 2016 RNC speech, admitting that Donald Trump achieved breathtaking results improving the economy, and vowing to get behind him 100% in implementing the remainder of the agenda through 2020, he'd all but wrap up the Texas vote.
