It seems like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has determined where his conscience is leading him, and it’s toward Donald Trump.

The endorsement could come as early as Monday, unnamed sources, close to Mr. Trump’s campaign, told Lifezette. “Those sources noted that Cruz has become seriously concerned about the long-term threats to the Constitution and conservative priorities, should Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton win the White House,” the online political site, founded by conservative pundit Laura Ingraham, reported.

It's way past time, but better late than never.

Cruz was hoping and working for a Hillary-win. But I guess Cruz is starting to worry that Trump may win, and for his own career, he decided that he better get on the Trump train.

Nah. He's concerned he won't find a donor base willing to fund his next campaign unless he endorses Trump.

You got it. Cruz finally saw the writing on the wall and went into self-preservation mode.

I’m expecting Tuesday morning (after the debates), unless it happens today. Trump ALWAYS does endorsements the morning after a debate.

The one good thing is that it breaks up the ‘never trumper’ group.

I agree. The damage/chaos from his non-endorsement up to now has already been done. Besides, is there any one sitting around waiting for Ted Cruz to tell them who to vote for? He is only doing it so he can now say he endorsed Trump and people will forget that it came late in the game.

“Ted Cruz endorsement of Donald Trump forthcoming”

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Trump must be doing extremely well in the polls if Cruz is willing to turn his back on the Clinton supporters like Romney and Graham who Cruz previously followed.

Or maybe he was expecting some form of payment or favor from the Romney/Clinton people for opposing Trump and they double crossed him.

All going according to plan. Cruz and the rest of the Never Trumper wanted to continue the primary up until the debates. That was the point of his tantrum at the convention. Trump didn’t take the bait and Cruz got blow back so he stayed quiet.

Now that Cruz has established his moral superiority over “NY Liberal” Trump and his unwashed supporters Cruz is able to support the defeat of Hillary Clinton. Very brave of Cruz, no doubt. LOL.

Or a voting base. Cruz needs those 14 million Trump primary voters. He is politically dead without Trumpers.
