I didn't see Cruz do anything close to what Trump did. He behaved honorably.
I think Cruz problem was he lacks the charisma needed to win in today's politics at the Presidential level. Maybe he has it but it sure didn't come through. Not that media was helping him.
1. Cruz is a very effective legal debater.
2. He could probably get elected Senator from 25 states, plus or minus.
3. Had he been the nominee, I believe he would have lost.
4. Had he been the nominee, the dems would have waged just as dirty a fight, including Russians, Cubans, Canadians, and whatever they felt they needed to do to win.
5. Had he won the Presidency the dems would have done just as much to "sow discord," as they have done with Trump.
6. Any Republican will be opposed by the dems and most of the media.
And finally, in spite of protestations to the contrary, I believe this site thrives on the nasty infighting.
