And it is NOT that he will be nominated. (We all know he won't. And the GOP knows that would doom them.)
What we should fear is that Cruz will succeed in his role in framing the melodrama, and that our defunct media will be given an excuse to peddle the eventual Republican nominee as "moderate conservative" and/or "sane".
Ted's role is to be so crazy that CNN, CBS, ABC, MSN, NPR will be enabled in their continued laundering of RW memes to independents, and to frame the discourse so that an eventual nominee to the right of anyone ever nominated, perhaps a Scott Walker, can be falsely peddled as a "compromise".
And, given the complicity of our "media", that is truly something to fear, and to defeat.
(Which we will.)
We can see the real enemy, and it is certainly NOT Ted Cruz, professional rodeo clown, decoy.

I agree with Rachel Maddow that Cruz is looking to be vice president for Walker or Jeb

That is what I thought. He even makes the Robotic One look human.

:sigh: That is why it is no accident he was the first to trot out of the clown car. Look for Jeb and Walker to be near the last.
