What happens to the GOP if Cruz turns out to be Goldwater 2.0? He gets (though still unlikely) the 2016 nomination over The Trump and Rubio and loses the general election to Hillary by a disastrous margin. He also takes down many congressional Republicans. Dems pick up OH, IL, PA, WI, FL, NH and AZ (after McCain lost his primary) in the Senate. GOP also loses the House narrowly: 223-212.
Will the establishment and the moderates take back the party in a “we told you so” campaign from the Tea Party and other right-wingers?
