Ted Cruz has snagged a big endorsement the day before the Mississippi primary: Gov. Phil Bryant.
"It's time for Republicans to join together and unite the party for the good of our state and our nation," Bryant said in a statement. "I urge my fellow Mississippians to join me in standing behind Ted Cruz tomorrow."
"I'm not going to get out and make a big show about it, but Sen. Cruz was in town today, and I met with him and gave him my endorsement," Bryant said, according to The Clarion-Ledger. "It was a hard choice -- I know so many of them, Chris Christie, I know Jeb Bush, I know the ones still running now. They are good people ... But I am also looking toward November and I think if Ted Cruz is nominated, he has a good opportunity to defeat the Democratic nominee."
Bryant also commented on Rubio's campaign, which has been struggling to gain traction after a string of disappointing primary and caucus performances. The Florida senator has won Minnesota and Puerto Rico, and he trails Cruz and Donald Trump in the delegate count.
"I like Marco Rubio," Bryant said...I just had to make the decision on who I think has the best chance to win in November and who I liked best as a candidate and as a person. Ted Cruz has gone to Washington and showed courage and grit to stand up to things he disagrees with."
"I am honored to have the support of Governor Bryant, who is committed to uniting conservatives across his state and the nation behind my campaign," Cruz said in the same statement provided to POLITICO. "The people of Mississippi are fed up with the dysfunction in Washington and know this is the time for courageous conservatives to unite."

Why not? Cruz had some record turnout levels set in his Senate primary in Texas. So he is the only one in the race with an actual track record for increasing turnout.
Scratch a Trumpster, find a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

Go Cruz . You did well on Mark Levin tonight.
Rack up the delegates and unite the party. Make Donald respect you!
The GOPe endorsements are a kiss of death
Yeah, because we all need to follow Romney’s orders.
Ted is the consummate insider.
Mississippi ping
My first question as well. Thanks for answering it.
Look at the threads posted on this website. Cruz and his whole family have been drug through mud. He is a strong man that does what he says he will do. He always explains his actions and answers tough questions. He is the best conservative with the best credentials to preserve the Constitution and our country.
Can we have a link to prove that list is factual?
Is that you Al Gore?
There are more anti-Trump threads on here. I even quit posting for a while due to that. I could not take the absolute hatred some have for him. . Cruz was my 2nd choice but the more I learned about him, that changed. Vote Trump.
This is a surprise, but will it matter? Probably not; it is MS!
“Scratch a Trumpster, find a paranoid conspiracy theorist.”
And a spammer.
What you couldn’t take is not everybody loves the Donald. It’s a fact.
Ted took Mitch. Ted can still win with big states like CA out there.
The competition is good and whoever wins between Ted and Trump I hope we unite and defeat Hillary!
