Ted Cruz would run in 2020 even if Trump is president, RNC official says

CLEVELAND — For the first time in 36 years, there was a vote on the floor of a party’s nominating convention this past Monday that actually held an element of suspense.

In the hour or so ahead of a vote in which insurgents were attempting to reset the convention rules, Republican National Committee operatives circulated the floor and the back halls of Quicken Loans Arena, buttonholing delegates to argue why they should retract support for the motion, and getting them to sign their names to withdrawal forms. Trump aides, by contrast, bullied delegates with vague and ineffective threats.

In one corner of the arena floor, near CNN’s broadcast booth, delegates from the District of Columbia listened to appeals from high-ranking RNC officials.

The RNC’s argument to the D.C. delegates boiled down to this: A vote for the rules reset would open the door to Ted Cruz becoming the GOP’s nominee four years from now.

Any Cruz supporters who are getting fundraising calls from him and donating now are not just suckers, they are traitors. To still be spending your money on this scumbag and not to defeating Clinton in 2016 is the height of hypocrisy.

Ted is a power hungry globalist who would sell us out in a minute for power. He is power hungry

Cruz will be too cute by half tonight. Cruz will say he’ll vote for Trump to stop Hillary but will not “endorse” Trump and tell his supporters to follow their conscience. His supporters will take that as a green light to continue the never Trump nonsense.

Better check-in with Texans before making such claims.

You mean, check in with the holdout Cruzbots, who like to think they represent Texans. Like you.

I agree.

I don’t want this guy anywhere near any kind of power whatsoever.

I initially really liked Cruz! Now there is no way I will vote for the man.

How low can he go? He keeps on surprising us.

Apparently he is supposed to speak tonight. It will be very interesting to see what reception he gets.

The only person Ted Cruz can actually beat, at this point:

Many of them want us to come to them on bended knee, bearing flowers and chocolates. I just had to set one of them straight, today.


That’s it right there. Cruz & Lee has said as much themselves. They want an apology from Trump for the primary season and have total amnesia to the dirty tricks Saint Rafael of Goldman pulled.

Include me as well.

Damn... I am even wearing my Cruz shirt now.

If he does this $hit I am done with him. I will burn my shirt.

Your comment says a great deal more about your character than it does about the character of Cruz supporters.

He can run, but he can’t hide........that he is a Cubanadian.

I’ve heard that from a lot of Texans on FR.

You haven't heard it from this Texan. I'll never give Cruz another nickel, nor will he ever get another vote from me.

You were telling us recently that Canadian born Cruz would be the VP choice. While I can’t have more respect for your service than I already have, you are so off base about this lying,liberal-voting fraud.

He can run as a Democrat. He’d be better suited.

Is he looks like a rat, smells like a rat and acts like a rat - he’s a rat
