      5. Fact is Trump has ridden to success on wave of nationalist xenophobia, which evidence suggests he believed all his life. Not flexible

      6. Conversely, Cruz is, as @DouthatNYT rightly notes, not an ideologue but cynic who exploits conservative niche.

      7. Real difference between Trump & Cruz isn't pragmatism vs. rigidity but rather chaos versus control.

      8. Trump is, as Jeb Bush said, the "chaos candidate." Cruz is so self controlled as to be terrifying.

      9. Instructive to compare how Trump & Cruz both make sexist & xenophobic pitches: Trump blatantly, Cruz with dog whistles

      10. Cruz is on far right wing of GOP but is within party tradition of trying to coat bigotry with code. Trump doesn't speak code but English

      11. To me, Cruz seems less damaging to GOP: he'll lose but allow party to keep plausible deniability on racism & sexism.

      12. Cruz will lose & GOP moderates could use loss to advantage: "See, we tried a far right candidate & nation rejected."

      13. Trump will lose but in losing he'll change the GOP script and also make it impossible to repair the parties image with women & POC

      @HeerJeet lol do you actually think Republicans ever had a chance with minorities? Or is this just concern trolling?

      @Submit2Zog If they improved only by 10% with non-whites, GOP would win general election. But they're going to lose votes, not gain them
