In an extraordinary public rebuke, two influential donors who were among the biggest supporters of Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign excoriated Mr. Cruz on Saturday for his decision not to endorse Donald J. Trump at the Republican National Convention.
The remarks from Robert Mercer of Long Island and his daughter Rebekah Mercer suggest widening fallout over Mr. Cruz’s convention speech, in which he did not endorse his former rival and, instead, suggested that Republicans should “vote your conscience” for candidates “up and down the ticket.”
“Last summer and again this year, Senator Ted Cruz pledged to support the candidacy of the nominee of the Republican Party, whomever that nominee might be,” the Mercers, who rarely comment in the news media, said in the statement to The New York Times. “We are profoundly disappointed that on Wednesday night he chose to disregard this pledge.”
The statement continued: “The Democratic Party will soon choose as their nominee a candidate who would repeal both the First and Second Amendments of the Bill of Rights, a nominee who would remake the Supreme Court in her own image. We need ‘all hands on deck’ to ensure that Mr. Trump prevails.”
“Unfortunately,” the statement added, “Senator Cruz has chosen to remain in his bunk below, a decision both regrettable and revealing.”
The Mercers invested at least $11 million in Keep the Promise I, one of a group of interlocked “super PACs” that supported Mr. Cruz in his presidential run. During the contentious primary race, Mr. Cruz had early praise for Mr. Trump on the belief that his candidacy would eventually fade and that Mr. Trump’s voters would move over to the senator’s camp.
Instead, Mr. Trump’s candidacy endured and the race between the men grew increasingly rancorous.

This is what gets me if this is true.
Check this link out about Ted Cruz and the DNC. Ted Cruz asking money from the DNC to help fund him in Cleveland?? WTF

“The news about the DNC emails just gets better and better. A few things we are seeing so far:
1) Ted Cruz asked the DNC for $ to help fund his delegate fight in Cleveland.
2) Jake Tapper of CNN colluded with the DNC. They gave him questions to ask his interview guests.
3) Chuck Todd of NBC was also colluding with the DNC and put pressure on others at the network to go easy on Democrats at the DNC’s request.
4) The New York Times co hosted parties with the DNC. This is against the law by the way.
5) Hillary Clinton setup a slush fund through the DNC to launder donor money.
6) The DNC actively colluded with the media to work against Bernie Sanders.”
WOW.
Wow. “Help fund him in Cleveland?” Why??? What was Cruz doing???
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like Ted Cruz in my 62 years. So much potential, only to be frittered away by puerile egomania.
Teddy is as shady as his old man.
There appears to be a lot more behind this thing than meets the eye. I bet the Trump team and the RNC are in a full on investigative mode. At least they should be.
Cruzlamic terrorism.
“Wow. “Help fund him in Cleveland?” Why??? What was Cruz doing???”
My guess would be to help stop Trump or at least try to foul things up for Trump. If this is true it really, really looks bad for Cruz.
Excellent pictorial evidence of Cruz’s real friends and allies.
Please keep posting where and when appropriate.
The Cubanadian turned out to be as fraudulent as the Kenyanesian.
Hillary and the media love pumping Trump v. Cruz.
I think it’s time we focus on Trump v. Hillary.
Your concern is noted.
Notice when they start down the cattle shoot that Cruz and Pelosi are side by side. What a southern gentleman Cruz is to go in front of Pelosi. LOL!

My question is, what is Ted doing on a plane with all these snakes?

Some of this is from Wikileaks. By the way we can multi-task.

I believe that question was answered by Cruz and Lee’s performances at the convention.
You wouldn't mind if the future attorney general and a grand jury looked into that, would you?
