Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will endorse Wednesday one of his political disciples, Ted Cruz, giving the Lone State senator his highest-ranking political endorsement thus far in the presidential race.
Abbott will formally back Cruz at an event Wednesday at 1 p.m. in Houston, campaign officials said, just six days before what is expected to be a competitive race with Donald Trump in Texas. Although not unexpected, the nod from Abbott is the clearest sign yet that the Texas Republican establishment is backing their freshman senator in his presidential ambitions.
"After 8 years of relentless attacks on our values from this White House, it's our duty as Texas conservatives to support a leader we can trust to restore our values and move this country forward," Abbott said in a video message out Wednesday. "That's why I'm supporting Ted Cruz for president."

Where is Bush’s endorsement?
Yes. Greg Abbott endorsed. Sent me an e-mail.
He’s been a really good governor.
As to what GW Bush will do... I’m guessing he will stay out of it. He should endorse Cruz as Trump was so utterly vicious to Jeb and himself. But apparently there was a little rift of some sort along the way.
Ted did work in his campaign.
Abbott seems like a good guy and is a helpful endorsement for Cruz unlike Haley and Scott were for Rubio in SC.
Which one?
Well, I guess you said it all.
Love the quote.
Isaac Asimov ... no wait... it was another quote.
“Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.”
That works too.
So... you have the patent on whining?
Actually I believe the general was informing.
The one who just lost his butt.
I think the poster who appropriated the name of one of the greatest American Generals of all time is overly verbose, tiresome, and a poser.
Trump: Stand up, Greg.
I said two months ago that Trump would pick Rubio.
I hope he doesn’t have the opportunity.
And who doesn’t love some cheap labor and river crossing work ethic?
Me, too.
I may live in Maui but I will always be a Texan.
I’m fixin’ to fry up some pork chops in a while.
Because even illegals deserve a chance to rape our daughters?
It’s time to CRUCIFY the LIAR AMNESTY TWERP GANG OF 8 FOAM PARTY LISPING FAGGOT MARCO RUBIO.
SAYS ONE THING ON SPANISH TV AND ANOTHER ON ENGLISH TV.
WANTS TO FLOOD THE USA WITH HISPANIC PARASITE ILLEGAL ALIENS AND GRANT THEM CITIZENSHIP.
Rubio is a degenerate douchebag who has done nothing in life except con simpletons from Florida into voting him into office.
Hes a conniving backstabber, has no qualifications to be President, no different than the animal in the WH right now.
Piss off Rubio you TWERP!!!!!!!!!!.
It will become apparent very quickly that Rubio is another hack lawyer with a big mouth and no accomplishments.
Cruz at least went to Harvard and argued cases in front of the Supreme Court. Carsons a brain surgeon, Trump is Trump, even Kasich and Jeb were effective Governors.
Rubio doesnt deserve to be on the same stage as these guys.
Marco went to community college and started running for office (West Miami City Commissioner) as soon as he graduated from law school at UM.
Hes never worked an honest day in his life.
DEPORT TODAY, DEPORT TOMORROW, DEPORT FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Great news!!
If it were not so pathetic, it would be funny to see all the lemmings marching off the cliff singing, “Make America Trump again.”
Both Ted and Greg seem to like open boarders so this endorsement makes sense.
Wow, this is a big deal. Greg Abbot has earned my respect and that of other conservatives. Seems like Washingtonians don’t like Cruz, but Texans sure seem to favor him.
I think you should not make personal attacks against another poster.
It’s tempting to do in retaliation, although foolish.
The man said nothing about you unless your name is The Don.
a most sensible and thought provoking post!
Thank you!!!!
