Akuperma, Cruz does not swear at people. In fact, he handles hecklers very well. You are correct, however, that Rubio has the “establishment”. The question is whether he can attract the Fundamentalists. On the other hand, he will do better with Hispanic voters but could lose anti-immigration hardliners. Perhaps a Rubio-Cruz or Cruz-Rubio ticket would be good. Another possibility is a deal whereby Cruz will support the nominee in return for an important judicial appointment. It should be noted that four of the current justices on SCOTUS are over eighty or will turn eighty during the coming term. While he is bit young and has no judicial experience he is an outstanding attorney. The Repubican establishment might just support him to get him out of the Senate.
