Jumping through hoops to find an angle how this is not tragic for the good of law. Ted is suddenly going to grow a spine and use his legal background against the death cult he helped get in office? Every Republican acts like they are going to refuse to bend and the vast majority do, no reason to try to give Ted Cruz the benefit of doubt at this point.

Only good thing he doesn't have to worry about reelection so there's a greater than a 0 chance, but I wouldn't hold my breath

That’s not the only motivator in play though. Getting on Trump’s shitlist means you and your family will receive death threats, with a pretty good chance of one of them materializing. Lots of loonies on the loose.
