Ted Cruz Can’t Come Back From This Humiliation

It turns out Cruz deserves Trump more than Trump deserves him. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       Ted Cruz Is Now Truly the Devil's Advocate   If Goethe had written the Left Behind novels, his climactic moment probably would have looked like what was on display Monday night in Houston—a man, scrounging the tight, dark corners of his soul, probing every nook and cranny of his essential being, for one last, little splinter of a smidgen of a chip of a portion of a piece of it that he could sell to a political loan-shark for another six years in the U.S. Senate.

He has spent years behind the curtain, speaking to his fans through wry captions and friendly commentary.
