Did Cruz's non-endorsement help or hinder his 2020 presidential aspirations?

[Sir Mohamed]

Neither. Or too early to tell. It's a long way until 2020 and a lot can happen. Remember Chris Christie not running in 2012 since he thought that 2016 would fit better for him? Same could happen with Cruz in 2020. Or simply a redux of Santorum or the Huck, these two dudes went absolutely nowhere this time. Or Cruz will win the nomination under an “I told you so” slogan, arguing the GOP only lost three election because they didn’t nominate a real conservative. Everything possible; even that he gets primaried in the 2018 senate race, though I regard this as unlikely. We’ll see. It is just interesting that GOP sources say that he’ll run even if the Trumpster ends up as prez this time.
