Ted Cruz poised to challenge Trump in Texas

Ted Cruz isn’t giving up.

While Donald Trump dispatches three advisers to Texas’s convention in Dallas this week and makes a pitch for party unity, his team will be running up against a Cruz operation that is still maneuvering to stuff the state’s delegation with allies the senator could call on to snub the presumptive nominee.

“We have a busy weekend planned,” said a source familiar with the Cruz campaign’s plans.

Cruz is scheduled to deliver an address at the Texas convention after a week of hinting he could jump back into the presidential contest and urging activists to thwart the New Yorker’s takeover of the GOP’s policy platform. And despite dropping out of the race more than a week ago, the vanquished presidential contender has deployed at least one paid adviser to the Texas Republican convention – Tyler Norris, his state director. (Trump has three advisers: state director Joshua Jones, deputy director Eric Mahroum and Houston-area director Kayla Hensley.)

This has gone WAY beyond where it should. Cruz hasn’t a shred of honor.

He’coming off like a Clinton with these antics.
Very undignified.
Doesn’t he realize he’ll never get enough votes to win?

Oh, Krap! No wonder nobody likes or wants to work with him. He’d make a very ineffective president

Whatever Ted. You may still think you’re the “Annointed One” but to everyone else you’re the Finished One. Give it up man! You’re done!

Presume Cruz decides to eventually run for Senate reelection, who’s going to run against him? I definitely want to get in early to support them.

Donald Trump should just plan as if he must get the nomination without the votes of any of the 48 Texas delegates who are supposed to be bound to him on the first ballot.

Vote Trump

Cruz, the obnoxious, nasty, liar needs to just give up. He’s an egomaniac, delusional, and just plain old rotten to the core!
