“We’re winning because we’re uniting the Republican Party,” Ted Cruz said in his victory speech after Wisconsin. He reached out not just to his own party but beyond it, quoting John Kennedy on the lighting of candles, and welcoming old foes and RINOs of many years standing happily into the fold.

Proudly, he spoke of leading a coalition of which Jeb Bush was a member, along with Sen. Lindsey Graham, who at one point joked about having him murdered. But bygones were bygones and this was a moment about hope and unity: “We’ve got the full spectrum of the Republican Party, coming together and uniting behind this campaign.”
