No, they’ve made it clear they hate Cruz more than they hate Hillary.
We always knew Hillary would oppose the eventual Republican nominee. Cruz, on the other hand, pledged to support the eventual Republican nominee before he decided to break that pledge.
Suppose the Principle of your child’s school hated your kid. Every day this Principle would whip the bullies into a frenzy of hatred against your child. He actively inflamed and incited them to be verbally abusive, and if the bullies took to throwing rocks and bottles at your kid, he actually rewarded them for it.
After months of escalating hatred, the bullies kill your child. The Principle approaches you and says, “As is the custom, I’ve rented a limo. Will you ride with me to your child’s funeral?”
It’s not a perfect analogy, but it captures the gist of the situation. Cruz should have refused.
“No, they’ve made it clear they hate Cruz more than they hate Hillary.”
Whistle blowing on “Ted” (not his real name) Cruz is both a patriotic and Christian duty, indeed, even a pleasure at times.
It is that whole thing that was spotted and identified about 2,000 years ago:
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero
