Obviously he is thinking Cruz 2020. So what serves that best? Reagan and Ford appeared together in 1976 on stage and Reagan said "We must go forth from here united." Like Reagan he can give a rousing speech about the values of party and the future and how the Democrats want to ruin America, etc. And imagine if Trump came out at the end of Cruz' speech and they embraced. Would Cruz be rewarded in 2020 for being a team player and loyal to the party and honoring his word?
Remember Cruz' plan was to hug Trump all the way to the end. He assumed Trump would flame out and he would get all of his supporters, well maybe he goes back to that plan, just four years later. He needs those supporters in 2020 to win the nomination.
I am betting he endorses tonight (but then does little or nothing for Trump between now and November).
The Establishment won't help Cruz and will mount a challenge against him in 2018.
