Leading pro-life member of Congress, Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), has endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the GOP race for the nomination, the Cruz campaign announced. Franks - who serves as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's Constitution and Civil Justice Subcommittee - said in a statement:
I remain deeply committed to the election of a President who is committed to preserving the Constitution, the conservative cause, and this Republic for future generations. Two weeks ago I urged Senators Cruz and Rubio to unite and present our Party with a combined ticket that would bring our conservative cause together in the primary election, and our nation together in the general election. While that did not happen, the results of the last two weeks make clear that the most reliable conservative with the best chance to win is Ted Cruz. He can win our party's nomination and even more importantly, can beat Hillary Clinton in November. Therefore I have cast my ballot for Ted and am now honored to endorse his campaign, encouraging all who believe in strong families, free-markets, and the Constitution, to similarly rally to this effort and vote for Ted as the next President of the United States....

Sounds like a good fellow to have in your corner. Thank you Trent Franks!
The real question is why would ANY Pro-Life leader endorse Trump?
..supported Duncan Hunter in ‘08...
Want to keep a chairmanship better back one of the GOPe candidates.
Because he's the ONLY ONE that can get elected to beat the Democrats in November!
If you want a Democrat for President... vote for CRUZ, RUBIO or KASICH.
Trump will NEVER be President, but you can dream.
Even if Trump were clearly the answer, the American people would still repudiate him in favor of Mrs. Bill. They are just that stubborn.
Neither will Cruz.
It'll be Hillary, the fix is in.
Massive voter fraud.
Trump will NEVER be President, but you can dream.
I can think for myself.
Not surprising. They have tightened the screws on Congress.
And nominate pro-abortion Supreme Court justices like his sister. Swell.
