Conservatives to Cruz: Time to back Trump
Politico ^ | July 20, 2016 | Katie Glueck |

Even some diehard loyalists say he needs to set aside lingering bitterness and get behind the GOP nominee.

They volunteered for Ted Cruz, gave him campaign money and still adore the Texas senator.

But now it’s time, say even some of his longtime loyalists, for Cruz to finally endorse Donald Trump.

Cruz, who will address the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, remains one of the GOP’s most prominent holdouts, refusing to back his presidential primary rival even as most other Trump critics have come around — if only with their noses plugged.

Cruz is a fraud. Some of us figured that out last year when Cruz supported giving Obama trade powers. We told many Cruz supporters this here only to have them try to get us banned

“Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves. — Winston Churchill”

An excellent post. People indeed need to give serious thought to Churchill’s words.

... and apparently he decided instead to commit political suicide. Amazing. Disappointing.

Unbelievable. Probably one of the greatest political speeches of all time ruined because he wasn’t man enough to say he endorses Trump.

And a day from now no one will remember what he said, so much as remember what he didn’t say.
