Media reporting on former 2016 presidential candidate Cruz’s speech at the event honed in on an absence of the explicit use of the name of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. What Cruz did say, in part, was, “If you care about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, if you care about free speech and religious liberty and the Second Amendment, then this election, putting a Republican in the White House and keeping a Republican Senate, is the whole enchilada. We are one liberal [Supreme Court] Justice away from losing our constitutional rights.”
Cruz Speaking
At a small joint press event with Pence and Cruz after the rally and just outside the Trump-Pence plane, Cruz made the following comments when asked about whether he was excited for Trump to become president:
I’m here campaigning for Donald Trump, for Mike Pence.
I recognize some of you guys are wanting to write stories suggesting divisions among Republicans. I’ll make a point, I’m getting ready to get on a gigantic airplane that has Donald Trump’s name painted on the side of it.
On Monday of this week I voted for Donald Trump. I voted for Mike Pence and I’ll tell you, we’re just a few days away from election day and I’m doing everything I can to defeat Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton would be an absolute disaster as president. I’m doing everything I can to keep a Republican majority in the Senate.
As Mike pointed out I think there are many issues front and center in this election, but none is more important than the U.S. Supreme Court.

If media didn't call Cruz out, he would still be trying to get away with not saying Trump's name.
“If media didn’t call Cruz out, he would still be trying to get away with not saying Trump’s name.”
This ^^^^^^. However at least Cruz us out there unlike some others.
It’s a question about grudges. I believe God is laying out a lesson that they are pointless and counterproductive.
“but don’t mention his name, Ted?”
He did state Trump’s name..without puking. Gotta hand it to him. Then again, you cant appease the Ted Cruz haters club on FR lol
I’m happy to see Ted campaigning for Trump & believe this is a time to direct our fire at Shrillary & her band of demonic ‘RATS and not at conservative allies.
But what do I know?
I don’t like Ted Cruz. I think he’s a phony, but I do think it’s time to let it go. Obviously, Trump has.
I donated to FR today, because I thought we were finally over the primary infighting. I challenge others who feel that way to do the same.
Ted actually ventured to make it not about himself.
A lot of people could afford to learn such a lesson.
Another Cruz in Iowa thread if anyone cares to read the comments

We also don’t want to be Alinskyites ourselves, freezing and polarizing. Yesterday’s phony may be tomorrow’s genuine, and it’s because mankind is ultimately a work of God, not a work of himself.
I was a Cruz supporter. I know he turned into a jackass. But we should take his support and that of whomever he can bring along. Cripes, even Mitch McConnell (turtle-come-lately) has given his support. We can fight the other battles later. Right now all that matters is Nov. 8.
Trump is going to win this election. They’ve seen the internal polls so they want to be able to say that they helped get Trump elected.
Ted Cruz stumps for Donald Trump, but doesn’t say his name at Iowa rally
Ted isn’t over it, so why should I be?

And that’s the point... “turned into.”
God gives all humanity the choice of what to turn into. Follow evil and be turned into evil, or follow Him and be turned into goodness.
Because bitterness will sour your soul.
Oh yeah, I helped campaign for Trump.
It's like with Reagan, everyone now claims to have been associqted with him in some way, and some of those claims are pure vaporware.
Stuff it!
Even more, it is dawning on more and more people what an era of Trump will look like, and once they swallow their egos, they understand that it really would be a good thing (not the least because, and I will stick my red neck out to say so, God is behind it).
That just soured your soul a little more.
