It's politics, Myst. And Cruz will ultimately turn up on the Trump Train --- if he plans to stay in national politics. Cruz cannot afford to become more of an outlier in the GOP than he is already.
No he won't. Neither he nor Rubio, who both have great political futures, are going to soil themselves by bathing in the Trump sewer water.
Listen here, RIV. The GOPe is backing Trump (and that ought to make you, of all people, gag). But there is a huge swath of Republicans who have turned their backs on the party and on Trump.
Did you hear? Trump's back on his Touchback Amnesty plan? Deport 11 million, bring them all back and legalize them. An amnesty.
That will never happen, of course, but Trump's waving his.......hands around saying it will.
