He doesn’t deserve the attention he’s getting. Screw him AND his endorsement. In short order the snake will be history.
Rick Tyler and Amanda Carpenter have no problem with Cruz going down
Really? We’re still talking about this? If Ted Cruz couldn’t/can’t see that Donald Trump is an infinitely better choice than Hillary Clinton, Trump doesn’t need his damned endorsement! Nor does/will Ted Cruz ever get mine.
Epic non-endorsement? I guess we can call what happened to the RMS Titanic an “epic” maiden voyage.
Cruz is a consummate politician who gages what is in his best interest, Right now, he is wondering what would happen to HIM if Trump wins. If he doesn’t endorse Trump and Trump wins, he will face a Primary challenge in 2018 which will have the full backing of trump and the republican Party. On the other hand, if trump doesn’t win, he may face a challenge, but that challenger wont have the backing of the White House or the Republican party. Those are the things he is considering right now and he wont make a decision until he feels certain of trumps fate. He is a calculating politician who’s primary concern is his own political future (AKA: Scumbag).
I’m tired of mincing around this issue.
Cruz will tell anyone who will listen about his lifetime love for the Supreme Court and his record as a laywer arguing cases there. And about his love for the Constitution and conservative principles.
He also knows that the four liberal judges vote together 90% of the time. The conservative and “swing” justices are the only ones who deviate from their ideology.
They stick together 90% of the time. That means, if Hillary becomes President and appoints another liberal to the court, there will be a liberal majority with 5 votes wil will determine the outcome for what, the next 20 or 30 years? You can kiss your conservative principles goodbye if that happens - and the Junior Senator from Alberta Canada knows it perfectly well.
He also knows that Trump will nominate conservative justices to the court.
So where is his endorsement?
Cruz’s failure to endorse Trump tells us that he’d rather see the Supreme Court lost auntil he had grandchildren, or longer, not to mention the incredible damage that would be done to the Republic (if it can even survive). His unwillingness to endorse Trump shows us that Ted Cruz is nothing more than a petty, selfish, hypocritical asshole and man whose word isn’t worth a damn thing.
At this point, I do not care if the Cubanadian fraud endorses Trump.
I just thought he might want to try to salvage his political career.
Folks...bottom line...Ted Cruz has one choice, and one choice only....endorse Donald J. Trump for POTUS today!!! If he does not, and opts to stay on the sidelines...he is finished politically in the Republican Party!!! It does not matter whether Trump wns or not. Cruz is dead political meat, the GOP Establishment will cut him up into little pieces, if they survive. Trump will destroy Cruz politically, if he wins POTUS!!! There is only one door for Cruz to go through....the Trump endorsement door!!! He needs to do this right now...doing it later in the campaign...is far too late!!! He should call a press conference today and announce his undying support for DJT!!! It will help him, DJT and most important his country and, the entire American people!!!
He signed the pledge...
Does anyone still care?
I don’t think anyone will care either way.
yes. time to eat the humble pie, cruz.
I don’t CARE about Cruz any more
If he was smart he would have accepted the VP offer early on, and this would be an entirely different race.
I wish Gingrich was chosen instead of Pence, to see some actual plain talk tearing the media a new one.
He should retire from public life before the public retires him involuntarily. He can go be a lobbyist for Goldman Sachs - it will be like nothing has changed for him.
feeling the squeeze of political or pressure of peoples?
Neither one is a good reason to do some thing.
Cruz is despicable. I would rather he NOT endorse Trump now, as it would just be a distraction. That opportunity came and went, and a true man of character would have sucked it up by now. I am done with him, $800 lighter in my wallet from my donations to his Senate candidacy, with not another dollar coming his way.
I voted for him in the primary. I switched to Trump. I would have been willing to vote for him again as senator, but no more. I will ply his game though and by default support hid opponent. You’re dead Ted.
IMHO, Cruz probably thinks all this recent attention is a form of adoration.
Pride goes before the fall.
Too little, too late.
Trying to board ship that has sailed.
