I feel that way, too. The only one who gains with an endorsement is Ted Cruz. If he doesn't, as long as there is recorded US history, he will be known as the politician who self-destructed because he didn't have the integrity to honor the pledge he made.
50 years from now, as many people will know about Ted Cruz as know about Estes Kefauver today, which is to say practically no one. I say this as a former Cruzer, who has seen the man destroy himself for very little apparent reason, since he gained very little from it.
“If he doesn’t, as long as there is recorded US history, he will be known as the politician who self-destructed because he didn’t have the integrity to honor the pledge he made.”
I’m in the camp that considers Cruz has already passed the deadline to deliver a sincere and believable endorsement. That deadline came and went at the convention.
Any endorsement from Ted, at this point, is a day late and a dollar short.
Sorry, Ted. You blew it. Buh bye now.
