Before the primary season ended, I observed that Trump will not be able to insult his way to victory in the general election in November. That observation was made before Trump inexcusably traduced the entire Cruz family by repeating on national television the utterly baseless claim that Rafael Cruz was consorting with Lee Harvey Oswald.

One can hardly blame the Cruz family just as one can hardly blame the Bush family for failing to endorse Donald Trump for president. This has nothing to do with the contempt many Trump supporters have for Cruz and the two Bushes, it simply has to do with human nature.

It is not up to Cruz to endorse the outrages libel of his father by endorsing Trump. It is not up to Cruz to overlook Trump's connection to the utterly spuriously allegations of Cruz' infidelities.

The onus is on Trump to unite the Republican Party and that includes the inescapable fact that Trump cannot win the White House if he loses Texas. Failing to secure the endorsement of a former governor/president as well as a sitting senator who clearly won the primary in Texas, puts that indispensable goal just a bit farther out of reach.

We see now evidence why Donald Trump cannot insult his way to victory. I urge him to make amends as soon as possible.

The onus is also on that former governor and president to be open to supporting a united party. Your post says that Trump is responsible, but doesn't reckon with the intransigence of the opposing factions.

In 2012, Romney had the task of unifying, explicitly with the imprimatur of the establishment, and he failed. He failed because the establishment has stopped listening to the voters.

Now, the voters have stood up to the establishment, and the establishment needs to be open to listening to the raised voices from across the party's spectrum. Trump is responsible for taking a reasonable line in trying to work with the party, but the party is also responsible for their own tantrums.

The FOIA documentation on Papa Cruz does not match his fairy tale. That is very clear. His Cuban tale is grossly embellished and contradictory at best.

Cruz went ballistic when some of the information found its way to the MSM.

Cruz was in this race until the convention where he was conspiring with Cruz delegates on the RNC Convention Rules Committee to redefine the rules. His lawyers were working in tandem with that group to decertify delegates and unseat entire delegations, as well.

The revelation of Rafael B. Cruz’s background was the impetus for Cruz’s abrupt departure. It was a shot across the bow. Ted had to withdraw.

Texas, is not a battleground state. Trump will win Texas w/out a problem. Thank God, Bush’s NWO does not control the Texas vote. Bush will have to steal the election for Hillary, if he plans to defeat Donald Trump in Texas.
