Ted Cruz Refuses to Disavow Lindsey Graham Endorsement

Trump surged as the Republican Party’s frontrunner on his campaign platform of deporting illegal aliens, promoting trade deals that prioritize the interests of American workers, and rejecting the party elites’ desire for increased military adventurism.

Ted Cruz, by contrast, wrote an op-ed urging Congress to fast track Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). No fast-tracked trade agreement has ever been defeated.

Sen. Graham’s energetic endorsement of Cruz – and Cruz’s refusal to disavow the endorsement of a man who many believe betrayed the American people with his unyielding push for mass migration – will no doubt raise questions as to whether Cruz still supports his 2013 amendments to radically expand immigration.

Graham, as a backer of the 2013 Rubio-Schumer amnesty plan and the 2007 McCain-Kennedy amnesty plan before that, is perhaps the Republican Party’s most outspoken proponent of open borders immigration policies.

Perhaps more than anyone, Sen. Graham has attacked GOP voters, lawmakers, and thinkers for opposing mass migration policies.

Look I despise Lindsay Graham but I wouldn't compare him to David Duke.

Name me a candidate who disavowed an endorsement from anyone who wasn't a murderer, child molester, genocidal maniac or Grand Wizard.

All the Cruz trashers are going to have egg on their faces when he gets around to endorsing Trump over Hillary.

Not at all. It’s in Cruz’s self interest to endorse Trump. Trump got 750k votes in Texas. Could be a tough Senate race for Cruz in 2018 if Trumpers follow the Romney Rule and write in their preferred candidate.

These are difficult times for CruzBots, first: get a picture before the campaign ship sinks below
the waves, second: contact our compassionate counselors to help with your grief.

Cruz disavows Graham when Trump disavows his thuggish campaign manager

Trumps' campaign manager was exonerated by footage showing that the alleged 'victim' (Michelle Fields) suffered only the indignity of people passing by her and ignoring her. That lying twit filed a false police report claiming she was 'assaulted' and those lies are now fully documented.

Get yourself back over to the DU and update your liberal talking points.

[Wissa]

So Ted isn't even running for Ted anymore, he's just become an attack dog for Jeb and Mitt.

I'd bet that Cruz has struck a deal whereby he gets nominated to the Supreme Court in exchange for denying Trump the presidential nomination.

That's how our government works. The elites make deals.

[Trump-a-licious]

You’re kind of comparing apples to oranges here. These people aren’t endorsing Ted Cruz for President, they’re endorsing him as a 1,237 spoiler in the hopes of a contested convention so they can install GOPe. And Ted is happy to accept that outcome.

Bingo, we have a winner here !

[VanDeKoik]

God only knows why these Cruz people either try to draw a false equivalency or play flat-out stupid when it comes to these gope endorsements.

[Lazamataz]

You are a lying scumbag.

[Lazamataz]

Damn dude. Trump even smoked out Establishment Teddy.

[VanDeKoik]

“Any suggestion to the contrary is eyewash. Pig eyewash.”

Yeah, sure. He’s totally looking to win the nomination after losing all of the south, being in third place in key states, and having no slew of friendly contests to depend on, not to mention clearly joint up with GOPe goons for money with the only mission being to keep delegates from Trump in exchange.

He is nothing but a stooge for gope plots. And you don’t need pig eyewash to figure that out.

[Lazamataz]

Name me a candidate, in the history of American politics, who ever disavowed an endorsement.

Donald J. Trump.

Did Trump disavow Christie?

Christie is a Governor, not a Senator.

[SmokingJoe]

Ok, how about Trump disavow Christie and all the establishment/RINO endorsements he's had first?
After all, far, unprincipled Christie did endorse Trump long before Graham endorsed Cruz. Trumpism = Cultism

[trebb]

Christie, a highly unpopular RINO just 3 months ago, is now forgiven. /src

Don't forget the flip side - what does that say about Graham?????

[bert]

Why should he?

The contest is after all the Republican Primary. It is not the conservative primary

There are many Republican voices to be heard

[SmokingJoe]

Trump cultist double talk psycho babble anyone?
It's ok for Trump to get establishment/RINO endorsements, but somehow a crime for anyone else to get such endorsements?

[SmokingJoe]

Christie called Trump psychologically unfit to be president. How can the same Christie back a mentally unstable guy for president two weeks later?

[taxcontrol]

How is your response relevant to the question asked?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Ok, how about Trump disavow Christie and all the establishment/RINO endorsements he's had first?

Jeff Sessions is establishment/RINO?

After all, far, unprincipled Christie did endorse Trump long before Graham endorsed Cruz.

But Christie isn't in Washington though. He's a Governor, and his endorsement isn't the same as a RINO Senator endorsing Trump.
