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."

I agree with the first conclusion, but you are woefully wrong on the second.
The MSM koolaid is hitting on you.
I have met Ted, and he is the real deal, a gentlemen, family man and an honest conservative.
LOL! Love that.
And you are right, he is a genuine friendly caring guy, who loves this country, and its conservative values.
Thanks Governor Abbott. You make we Moral Conservative Texans Proud and the Angry Bird Trump supporters grind their teeth.
“Abbott has/is doing a heck of a lot more to protect Texans”
So in other words, Abbott is doing nothing to keep the illegals from invading Texas. Another all talk do nothing politician like Cruz. Worthless.
Only Trump will build a wall on the Texas and USA border. where are the initiatives from CRuz or abbot to build a wall on the Texas border with Mexico where the illegals are invading the USA? nowhere . And CRuz hasn’t even been hardly in the state of Texas but only has been campaigning for his own political and financial personal gain.
Is abbot or Cruz doing anything to stop the flood of illegals crossing the Texas or U.S. border from Mexico? NO, they are still invading the USA.
IF I were governor or senator of Texas you bet not one illegal would be crossing that border, If I had to go down there myself with a Gatlin gun and guard that border myself
build a fence , do something . all these morons have is excuses and promises no actions . where are the border wall or illegal deportation initiatives bills anything any action from these âConservativeâ heros of you all abbot or cruz? where : i see no actions To stop the illegal invasion at the Texas border. face it you’ve all been conned.
cruz is giving speeches all over the country promising this and that while the state is supposedly representing is being overrun at the border by an invading army of socialist illegals . why are cruz or abbot not at the Texas USA and Mexico border where the invasion is happening . cruz has just been campaigning for self gain not doing his job stopping Texas from being invaded.
Abbott has a massive amount of presence on the border using Texas Rangers and DPS squads.
And since you are probably not aware, there is more than just illegal Mexicans coming across our southern borders. You name a country and they are coming across.
Our team has caught a person from Bosnia. Yes he was a Muslim. You want Chinese. Coming across by the 100s and being caught by Texans and their property tax $$s not by Federal tax $$s.
Let Trump build his beautiful wall. They will find a way over, around and under it. You need resources and will power ON the border that want it stopped not a contractor that wants to make money building shiite.
Thanks for shutting these nay-sayers up. Blaming us for the Mexican hoard is only a tactic a Trumpet could come up with.
ok. That is fine. I never met him. I just watch him closely for truth.
Really, can you hold off until the bigger mug gets here?
If there is a crack down who is she going to get to wash her car or watch the kids or mow her yard or cook her mexican food.
That would really put the liberals in austin in a state of shock if they took all of the "field" hands out of the cesspool.
Nope....I didn't say Abbott was the same as "do nothing" but "yak" Trump.......you are trying to "suggest" he is the same.
You cannot shut these nay sayers up. They are just too stupid to listen to reason and have their head so far up their own arses that they cannot hear or read even what they are saying.
Like that one, demomedia or something, well if he was governor he would go down there with a gatlin gun and blah blah blah frickin blah. He would probably wet his drawers if he even got close when he heard a modern GE chain gun fire 4000 rounds in a minute. Blowhards like Trump and whiners that only know how to get 5 or 6 people together and start bashing one person.
They use the mail system on FR to call the gang to a post and who to bash. I was accidentally copied on one of their bash sessions and the funny thing it was to bash ME. ROLMAO
Anyway, I really do feel sorry for them and hope that one day they will come up for a breath of fresh air.
Right !
Trump will build a wall on the Texas and USA Mexico border and have Mexico pay for it. Trump said this in his early speeches. cruz and abbot have not done a damn thing to stop the illegals invasion of Texas and the USA at the Mexico border
cruz only has given fake speeches to brainwash all to get millions in donations form rich internationalist donors. no actions only lies. cruzers been conned by a politically ambitious harvard lawyer and do nothing abbot
Go Trump!
Rubio & Cruz want to go to war with Russia.
This Cruz vs Trump primary has shown true colors of many so called conservatives. They do not care about conservative principles. They want a dictator to rule over them. Trump is a brutal populist dictator. They love him.
Good for Governor Abbott.
Actually, the proper long form of the word is pusillanimous, but we wouldn’t expect a deranged lunatic to know tat.
Isn't honesty just so refreshing for a change.
Speaking of all talk, do nothing and worthless...(Donald Trump)....
why doesn't Trump release his tax records? What is he hiding? Inquiring minds want to know.
