        you've been wrong about tons of shit throughout this entire election seaosn, so Cruz will probably be fine.

        @NewRepublic "There is some leeway if a member is demonstrably corrupt, as Richard Nixon" And that doesn't apply to Trump?

        Counterargument: By refusing, Cruz holds on to his loyalists while most of his 2020 primary opponents carve up the Trump vote.

        Adding that the Goldwater/Rockefeller/Nixon dynamic is a flawed parallel since it pre-existed the current primary system.

        Everything is not analogous to Nixon. All those rules are already broken. No party with a 'myth of Trump' will ever contend.

        Cruz is a mistake. Error so deep within a welter of charlatanry that not even tonight's trick makes a difference either way.
