Oh the Irony: GOP Leaders Ask Cruz to Apologize Before Receiving Their Support
Mediaite ^ | 3/16/16 | Ken Meyer

It’s funny how the tables turn over time. Ted Cruz is the only one left who can pose any real challenge to Donald Trump‘s Republican nomination, and now, figures from the political establishment are asking him to make nice with them before they agree to coalesce around his campaign.

While his uncompromising stances distinguished Cruz as the junior U.S. Senator from Texas, years of stunts like shutting down the government and calling Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a liar have caused many of his colleagues to dislike him. According to CNN, Sen. John Cornyn and others have called on Cruz, after he won Texas, advising him speak to the Senate GOP Conference to get their backing.

“I think he’s got some bridges to build here,” said Sen. John Thune. “I think it would be helpful obviously for him if he thinks he is going to be the guy

Kneel before the alter.

Painful to see men acting like spoiled children.

No leadership.

This has been building for decades. Trump and Cruz are not accidents. They are the offspring of the Massive Government Uniparty populated with leftist ‘RATS and establishment RINOs.

Ted Cruz: damned if he does (apologize) and damned if he doesn’t (not apologize). He’s truly a former Canadian without a country.

I hope Cruz turns this around and asks them to apologize for the sad performance of the RINO herd over the past eight years.

They feel their AUTHORITY has been threatened, wow.

That really says a LOT, right there.

You know, when I first hear the GOP didn’t like Reagan at first, I really doubted that.

Now I don’t doubt it the tiniest bit.

And now I realize that in my heart, I’m not a Republican —I’m something ELSE.

I’m no Cruz fan, but after this and their admonition of Trump for his ‘rhetoric’.......we sooooo need another party.

If Cruz was smart he’d tell Trump he’ll drop out to be his VP...

So they want him to apologize which would kill lose him all his support, in order to get their support which will do him no good anyway.

Ted Cruz will not walk into the convention with 1,237 delegates. He will need to snag 70% of the remaining delegates to reach the magic number. he isn’t going to do that.

The Democrat infiltrators like Mittens, Ryan, McConnell and the rest are very close to achieving their goal of destroying the Republican Party from within. Fine with me. A new Patriot Tea Party is about to arise from the stinking remains of the GOP.
