the crazies won't vote for anything other than a bona fide Trump. Cruz and the rest of them are undermining their own prospects every time they genuflect to the orange wannabe dictator. They would be smarter to try to rehabilitate what's left of the GOP and pander to them. 2024 could be a giant gift for Democrats when the crazies vote for Trump (who will no doubt start a third party if not the nominee) and the more lucid of the GOP vote for whoever (or whatever) they nominate.
