Ted Cruz’s colleagues may loathe him, but they seem to have found somebody else they dislike more. With the prospect of Donald Trump’s nomination looming over the GOP, Cruz is set to unveil endorsements from more than four senators this week, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Until now, Cruz had failed to earn the endorsement of even a single Senate colleague, a fact Trump and other presidential rivals have been quick to use against the Texas freshman. But as many senators see Marco Rubio’s prospects dimming, some are beginning to make peace with Cruz, convinced that he’s the only candidate who can stop Trump. If Rubio can’t clinch his home state of Florida on March 15, yet more may come forward to back the devil they know.

More than four senators!
Who would they be?
Mike Lee is one, I guess.
John Cornyn, our other Texas senator may be one of them. He cannot stand Cruz but since Rubio has failed, Cornyn would hate Trump worse than Cruz. It would also get Cruz out of the Senate and Cornyn would like that.
