If only ... {sigh}
In hindsight, he should not have made the speech (and I say that as a Cruz supporter).
All he needed to say was I don’t agree with everything Trump says but this election is too important to stay on the sidelines.
If Mrs. Cruz suffers from depression or an emotional illness (different then mentally ill), then I see there may have been an issue there, which might have caused him to not directly say “Vote Trump.” He could have said “Vote for the GOP candidate to defeat Hillary and the left.”
Good. I would have been happy with, “We can’t let Hillary win and appoint Supreme Court justices. Vote for Trump/Pence.”
Excellent, yes. Nicely done.
that would have been perfect..don’t even have to like Trump but it’s this simple..either vote for Trump or say goodbye to your freedom..that simple
I think he could have made the exact same speech he made but instead of the “vote your conscience” part he should have said....
“These principals I have outlined need to be protected this November. I have a lot of personal animosity toward Trump for how he behaved during the campaign. I have some doubts about how faithful he will be to the principals our party believes in but there is one thing I have no doubt about. I have no doubt that Hillary stands in direct opposition to everything this party stands for. I will be voting for the only viable opposition to Hillary and that is the Trump / Pence ticket. I urge you to do the same. To all of the people who put your faith in me over this primary season, I promise you one thing...my advocacy and faithfulness to these principals did not end with my candidacy nor will they end in November. Regardless of which candidate ultimately reaches the office of the President, I will praise them when they further the policies of freedom and criticize them when they abandon them. I will always fight for what is right just as I have done in the Senate for the past 4 years.”
This way, he says he is voting for Trump. He is encouraging other to do the same. He is keeping his word. He is not abandoning his principals. And he is leaving the door open for 2020 if Trump abandons his promises and governs as a liberal.
Dangus, face it “your hero”, Ted Scruze, turned out to be a rotten turd! If you’re still “pining”for him, I feel sorry for you.
Maybe sent a video message telling Republicans to work together to win.
But he couldn't resist all the attention.
