"Sometimes, knowing that everyone in the office hates me so much that they won't even ride in an elevator with me kind of brought me down," she said. "That's why this Cruz thing is such a game-changer."

That said, I really really hope he does.  Because I think he would bring the tsunamic republican loss of the ages.
I have come to very much doubt that Trump would.  Hillary might beat Donald but it would not be easy or pretty.  And I don't think it would have the same downticket effect a Cruz candidacy would have.

"This is the most anxious electorate we've seen in a very long time," said David Gergen, an adviser to four presidents of both parties.

Mr. Cruz's triumph on Monday, combined with Senator Bernie Sanders's effective tie with Mrs. Clinton, demonstrated how bipartisan the bitterness has become. "It's striking," Mr. Gergen said, "that the winner of the Republican side represents the far right and the moral winner for the Democrats comes from the far left. It's a clear vote of no confidence in the economic order."

Monday night's results confirmed that despite the widening cultural and political fissures that have divided right and left, voters are united in an impatience, even a revulsion, at what they see as a rigged system that no longer works for them.

For Republicans, the enemy is an overreaching government, strangling their freedoms and pocketbooks. For Democrats, it is an unfair economy, shrinking their paychecks and aspirations.

I would feel better about the opposition to them if the Dems didn't resort to the God card as well whenever it suits them... although they don't do it quite as starkly.

Obama justified his opposition to the right of homosexual people to marry on the grounds of his religion. And, as I recall he brought God into it.

We have a country that has, or had, one of its tenets, the separation of Church and State.
