This election has a semester's worth of case studies for a game theory class. (Most examples are fails, from the 17-person primary on).

c)... Cruz takes the stage, redoes his convention talk & plays Rick Astley, . Only scenario to his advantage if he is staying in politics.

a) Trump win: Trumpified party will never take to Cruz, not because of his views because Cruz endorsed guy who insulted his wife and father.

b) Trump loss: Squandered his chance to say I told you so by late-stage craven endorsement. (Unless preceded by Trump apolog—hahahahaaha).

Does anyone have a Cruz endorsement explanation that makes sense? We want to dismiss this as politics as usual but it's not. This is weird.

An activated Trump constituency; doesn't help Cruz. He must have given up his presidential ambitions but why endorse then?

Cruz is young. Has more than 20 years to win nom. Was losing more friends by holding out when Trump is close to tied in polls now.

I think he's done for, presidential politics-wise. He must know it, too. Which is why this is weird.
