There is still nobody in the Senate who likes Ted Cruz

After interviews with a dozen Republican senators on Tuesday, there is still no one willing to publicly say they are on Ted Cruz's side, The New York Times reports. To date, Donald Trump and John Kasich both have the endorsements of a current senator, and Marco Rubio has raked in the support of more than a dozen of his peers. Despite years in the Senate, Cruz is still looking at a big zilch.

Yesterday the National Review reported that Cruz was "set to unveil endorsements from more than four senators this week" only to issue an update saying, "The report was erroneous. As of this writing, the campaign has no pending Senate endorsements to announce."

Ahead of "Super Tuesday 2," Cruz trails Trump by fewer than 100 delegates.
