Ted Cruz really is an odious weasel.He goosed his ground game by convincing Carson supports that their guy had thrown in the towel. You can only use that play in a caucus state, so he did and you can’t argue with the results. [And by the way has anyone else noticed that Cruz’ campaign manger looks like the bad guy from the Smurfs? Does anyone doubt that this guy could have brazenly lying in his toolbox?] 
So what happens now?
I see Trump’s white nationalist partisans are all in, so Trump could keep it going for a while. But even as loud as they are, the grizzled 20% of Republicans who like Trump are still 20% of Republicans. Rubio appears to be the new establishment pick, which makes him the party’s ebola monkey from the tea party perspective. So can Cruz, the odious weasel, end up being the guy who unites the GOP? I think it is possible. But, ultimately, nobody knows jack shit. John Kasich, the 69th Governor of Ohio, could catch fire. Literally… Michel Jackson style, during the taping of a Pepsi Cola ad. We simply don’t know.
Rick Santorum must feel like a moop. He came in 2nd last time. Historically that means this was his turn to be nominee. Anyway, he ran his campaign as if people were supposed to know that.
