If he was endorsing Cruz, the Trumpbots would be all over this thread to sneer "UNIPARTY!!!" "MORE PROOF LYIN' TED IS THE CANDIDATE OF THE GOPE!!!" "HOW CAN THE CRUZERS SUPPORT THIS KIND OF ENDORSEMENT??"
But of course, he endorsed The Donald, so its all fine and dandy.
As GOP state party chair, he’s now endorsed the candidate who OVERWHELMINGLY won his state’s primary where actual people, registered Republicans, voted. What would you have had him do? Had Cruz or Kasich won, he’d have endorsed the winner. Just as happened in many other states, the political powers within the state endorse after their people have voted and made known their preference.
