Yes...no under the DC crowd hates him, and wanted him to bow down and apologize to Mitch McConnell if he wanted their backing. Praise God he didn't!

Oh wow, so very principleTED of him to not apologize to Mitch...

Ted Cruz will use a few hundreds some poor widow mailed him to light a cigar with Jeb Bush and bide his time.

Sorry, didn’t mean to be “low info” and “deranged” for noticing that Ted stands up and talks a lot, but when it comes to the votes, he caves and gives the left what they want.

I do suffer from a syndrome. Acute Globalist Bulls**t allergies.

It’s obvious that with the Kool-Aid swilling and Trumpopium, the hardline Trumpophiles can’t distinguish the good from the grotesque.

That’s exactly the kind of gutsy leadership that made me lean toward Ted Cruz at the beginning of this campaign season.

However, when Ted Cruz has obviously joined with these same disgusting GOP establishment Senators to gang up on Trump instead of joining Trump to gang up on the Establishment, that’s when he lost me. The lure of the Presidency apparently was too much of a temptation. I am so disappointed.

Given the choice between voting for a conservative who joins with the establishment, and a less than conservative who opposes the establishment, I would vote for Trump. We have been sold out by too many “conservative” types to fall for that again. Including George W. who at the time seemed like the most conservative guy running!

Yes, I am a troll, an idiot, and I’m lowering the discourse. Thank you for elevating the discourse on behalf of Teb! Bush.

Good for you. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

Since your logic is that Cruz is a Rino due to a Bush endorsement, I can expect the acknowledgement from you that Trump is a racist due to the Klan endorsement? Both scenarios are idiotic and highlight a lack of critical thinking on your part.

Trump has repeatedly disavowed his terrible “endorsements”, including David Duke.

Cruz thanks the Bush clan for their support and hires them onto his campaign.

An endorsement? No, the Bush team is part of the Cruz campaign. They’re running the whole damn show for Ted. Why is the obvious so hard for some people to see. The Bush family owns Ted Cruz!

Reminds me of the Movie “Gone in Sixty Seconds” which is about how long it took Lyin Ted to go from severely conservative to full on GOPe.

Bunk. Did you forget that this IS about winning the White House?

Only the uninformed would believe you can win the Presidential nomination with only "rebels" in your camp. If the "establishment" ran to Trump with open arms, Trump would scoop them up in a New York minute, because he wants to WIN.

Trump's fake "lying" meme destroyed any chances of Cruz and Trump joining forces because Trump wasn't smart enough to understand he would need Cruz by the end of the primary season.

Fighting about "policy" disagreements is always acceptable and leaves the "dropped out" candidate a pathway to support the winner.

When you go "slash and burn" with personal attacks....you are only "frying" your future chances, which is why Trump hasn't been able to lock in his nomination by now.

McConnell and top lieutenant Sen. John Cornyn (Texas) reluctantly backed ending debate after it became clear that no one in their conference wanted to cast the deciding 60th vote… In the end, 12 Republicans voted to end debate in the 67-31 vote. That vote guaranteed that there would be no leveraged spending reforms, and at the same time allowed for a simple majority to raise the debt ceiling.
The Republican leadership bent over backwards to give Obama another debt ceiling raise with zero attachments to fiscal sanity.
Cruz stood up, and spoke for 80% of the nation, fighting against more and more debt. Unfortunately, after giving the Senate to the Republicans, they still continued to give the Democrats everything they want.

In a nutshell this is what's wrong with Cruz. He talks a good game but in the end everything stays the same. There's something about his personality and style that prevents him from really building a coalition for conservative ideas. Because of this the GOP keeps him around because it keeps people voting for the GOP on the premise that a token conservative or two can't hurt.

Contrast that with Trump. He has the personality and the skills really needed to institute true conservative change. He's campaigning on conservative issues...that's what he's promising and he has the skills to actually get them implemented.

The Bush family that said “I don’t like that guy”? Or the one that called him an ass? Nice try.

You mean when Donald Trump flat out lied and said he didn’t know who David Duke was?

What I find so funny is that there is a group who believe that Cruz has capitulated to the GOPe. From what I see, it is the GOPe that has finally resigned itself to supporting Cruz. YMMV. Peace.
