      1. One thing people are missing in talk about GOP getting its act together to stop Trump is Ted Cruz, the monkey wrench in the gears.

      2. Any GOP collective action solution to Trump has to include working with Ted Cruz, who has 2nd most number of delegates.

      3. I'm going to put this as mildly as I can. History does not show that Ted Cruz, a Machiavellian slimebag, is an easy person to work with.

          @DemFromCT @HeerJeet I was glad to see Bloomberg specifically call out not just Trump but Cruz too.https://twitter.com/roseperson/status/706971567700496384 …

          Deborah Roseman added,

          Deborah Roseman @roseperson
          Bloomberg won't run & risk Trump or Cruz win. "Cruz...may lack Trump’s rhetorical excess, but...no less extreme." http://bv.ms/24MP7mA

          4. Cruz can't get a single other Senator to endorse him. He's scheming, untrustworthy, too clever by a half & loves dirty tricks.

          @HeerJeet Also, no historical basis to assume Cruz won't just refuse to cooperate and ride to the convention w his middle finger up at party

          @HeerJeet Cruz knows that he is unlikely to be picked in any brokered convention. What is his incentive to cooperate?
