Senior Senate Republicans are calling on Sen. Ted Cruz to rebuild his strained relationships with his colleagues and apologize to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell before the party establishment considers consolidating behind his presidential bid.
Cruz has increasingly called for Republicans to unify behind his candidacy in order to take down front-runner Donald Trump. But in interviews Tuesday with CNN, it's clear Cruz's fellow GOP senators are not willing to do that, at least not yet.
Republican senators said that Cruz must return to Capitol Hill and make the case directly to his colleagues to help ease long-festering tensions. And a large number of Republicans said the fence-mending starts with this: Apologizing to McConnell for calling him a liar last year on the floor of the Senate.
That message was personally delivered by fellow Texan and McConnell's chief deputy, Sen. John Cornyn, who spoke with Cruz by phone after the candidate won their home state's primary earlier this month.

It’s called....crawl dude...
Ted has clearly gone over to the dark side. Is Ted going to kneel down in front of Mitch and ask for forgiveness?
GOPe Mitch, is that you?
Why until he actually does before condemning him for it?
Yeah Rafael, kneel before General McConnell. Kneel!
This will be very telling in what Ted will do...let’s watch and see.
Easy! I apologize if Mitch was offended that I pointed out he lied to cave to the Democrats on an issue.
“You are not the President. No one who leads so many could possibly kneel so quickly.”
If he does, he’s a fag.
how far he has fallen
As a Cruz supporter, he better F’n NOT!
“Ted has clearly gone over to the dark side. Is Ted going to kneel down in front of Mitch and ask for forgiveness?”
And if Ted doesnt crawl? Will you eat your words and apologize? Or just keep being a mindless Trump shill?
He should continue to refuse to bow down to that assclown. McConnell more than anyone else is responsible for the loss of credibility of the GOP these last half a dozen years. It still irritates me that he wasn’t thrown out of office. He certainly should have been.
It’s kind of sad that there are few others that stood up to this idiot besides Ted Cruz.
Mitch did lie. To us.
Mitch should apologize. To us.
He will not.
If Cruz tells him to pound sand he might get a bump
ROFL
