The point is to encourage Cruz to be Mr. Perfect Conservative and work with Rand on projects relating to small government. It's not like that happens automatically, and it's not like Cruz isn't going to be under pressure to work to oppose that cause rather than help it.
So far, for all his problems, Cruz has been the closest thing to an ally Rand has had in the Senate. If you could rank all 535 members of House and Senate from most terrible to least terrible, Cruz would probably rate as one of the 10 least terrible. There's no guarantee that he will continue to be. But whatever influence Rand can have on him is worth having.
There's pretty much a 100% chance that Trump will be worse than that. He can hardly even pull off pretending to be a conservative when he's running in Republican primaries. Imagine what he'll be once it's time to campaign for the general election, much less once he's in office.
