Cruz does have convictions and core beliefs that he doesn't stray from. Few in Washington do. I just don't understand why anyone in the crowd would boo. He was speaking about religious persecution. It was disrespectful.

I respect Cruz for this integrity.
Unless he has some nasty skeleton in his closet, the GOP will not choose him as their candidate regardless of the real results (not the same as the published results) in primaries.

I have no doubt there are enough skeletons in Trump's closet for the GOP, but they will need to have a continuing contract on Trump to "control" him. Trump could be America's King George. He could also be the next president assassinated by mysterious forces, a la JFK.
