Ted Cruz (still) has no friends because he is a mean and ugly man deep down [View all]

Cruz has until now failed to earn the endorsement of any of his fellow senators, a fact that Donald Trump has beaten him over the head with.

A major conservative publication walking back a report that Ted Cruz was set to receive his first endorsements from any of his colleagues is one of the most narrative-confirming events to take place this campaign since Marco Rubio sat in a chair that was wayyyyyy too big for him. There was a point long ago in this campaign where Cruz, who is universally disliked in the Senate, could have emerged as a credible anti-Trump candidate if only the establishment had been willing to back him. They didn’t. Now, faced in a similar, more hopeless situation, the establishment is again holding out for Rubio when Cruz is increasingly becoming their only hope.

The next time someone in Washington mumbles to a reporter that Ted Cruz has friends, they’re going to want to triple check.
