Although I have no evidence to back it up, I believe that Cruz only ran for the U.S Senate as a platform to run for President, and isn't interested in being a senator for the long haul.

So,
1.I believe he's running to win
2.If he doesn't win, I don't think he'll run for reelection to the U.S Senate, though I could see him running for governor of Texas as a consolation prize.

Oh, you mean just like Hillary Clinton who only ran for the U.S. Senate from New York in 2000 as a platform to run for President, and wasn't interested in being a Senator for the long haul.

Where did I say that I thought he did anything wrong?  A lot of politicians first run for lesser offices as a platform to run for higher office, though not normally for the U.S Senate.

I agree he probably will finish out his term once his ego fueled presidential run comes to an ignoble end, but I don't believe he will run for reelection.  He's shown no interest in learning the details of legislation and is completely uninterested in the office except to be a bomb thrower.
