@HeerJeet I think the policy control they *think* they can achieve over Trump is far more important than Cruz being the Zodiac Killer.

@HeerJeet I also think there's a role of "purging the rot": Trump's loss would be so catastrophic that it would set up a moderate for 2020. -
Cruz, OTOH, might be more like Goldwater as you said: a loser, but wins enough (and is a Republican) to push the party towards Crazytown.
