Cruz might sink

Since Ted Cruz has spent so much time with his supporters on the religious right, he has come to believe that those who don’t share their values are in the minority.

After the last debate, he has been given an education in the ethics of most of us, not just urban northeasterners. Cruz is about to learn that you cannot unring a bell. His support among religious conservative Republicans might grow, but his disdain for Republicans who do not share their sense of morality is about to sink his chance of becoming the nominee.
