      2. Revisiting that argument, Rubio has said he'll support the nominee. Cruz is still wavering.

      3. Cruz has all sorts of good personal reasons to despise Trump and not endorse Trump in general election.

      4. Trump's offences against Cruz:Lyin' Ted, insulting Heid Cruz's appearance, planting adultery story, linking Cruz Sr. to JFK assassination

      5. It's no exaggeration to say that to win the nomination Trump tried to destroy Cruz's marriage. That's a pretty serious attack.

      6. But despite all this, Cruz will swallow his pride & endorse Trump. Why? Because he wants to win nomination in 2020.

      7. The root mistake @DouthatNYT was to think of Rubio & Cruz as honorable people who would flinch from endorsing Trump out of moral scruple

      8. For Douthat, the GOP is a vehicle designed to achieve a goal (advance Christian conservatism). Not so for Rubio, Cruz & other politicians

      9. For Rubio, Cruz & other pols, the GOP is a vehicle for personal advancement. And if party picks Trump, they have to endorse Trump.

      10. As I said before, smart play is to be like @dick_nixon in 1964: endorse terrible candidate, work to salvage down ballots, pick up pieces

      11. This shows the limits of #NeverTrump. Intellectuals & writers like Douthat can be #NeverTrump. Pols like Rubio & Cruz can't be.

      12. Ultimately, #NeverTrump will be a movement of writers, think tank denizens, some consultants. But not those who want to hold office.

          13. Trumpism is triumphant & will reshape the GOP. Movement conservatism is losing its hold on the party & might become homeless.

          @HeerJeet real question is how exactly do trumpism and movement conservatism diverge?
