In 2020 Cruz will rear his blobby head as a contender. Then Trump will begin non-stop assaults on him. He may even show up to Town Halls and poo poo just to clown on him.

Trump's gonna blame Cruz as much as the bias liberal media for the curb stomping he's about to get. Don't expect Cruz to get far in 2020.

Oh yeah, absolutely. Trump won't be able to resist reminding everyone of how Cruz didn't kiss the ring at the RNC.

We thought his merciless destruction of Jeb! was mean, but we will see such sights come Cruz 2020

In an attempt to create outrage fatigue among the GOP base, Planned Parenthood will be offering to help people who visit their clinics register to vote.

It's smart, and combines so many things that conservatives hate that it should qualify as art

On the other hand, Trump could lose so bad that Republicans immediately distance themselves from him, call him "not a true conservative," etc and Cruz having never endorsed Trump will be a boon to him in 2020.

That really depends on how the Trumpets are handled.
T-man could bust out an argument saying Republican rank and file were scared of him and never really supported him (Cruz to blame here, also Kasich), Trump cannot fail only be failed, and that his massive gains were sabotaged and handicapped and it's really a shame because he would have been a very, very good president.

Cruz could try and argue that Trump was a sham fake republican and that he failed republican core values and sold the people out to turn a buck.

The GOPe's only hope us that Trump, in losing, throws a tantrum the world has never seen. Like, a heel promo for attitude era bad. Setting an American flag on fire. Saying the troops are lazy. Saying America deserved 9/11.
