Cruz Poised to Endorse Trump
Lifezette ^ | 09/23/2016 | Brendan Kirby

Donald Trump may be on the cusp of bagging an endorsement from one of the most prominent NeverTrump holdouts, former primary rival Ted Cruz.

Sources close to the Trump campaign have confirmed Cruz is close to endorsing his former — and sometimes bitter — GOP rival. Talks between Cruz staff and the Trump camp have been regular in recent weeks, and have grown more serious as Trump has closed the gap with Hillary Clinton in key battleground states.

I’d be more impressed if Cruz denounced the CFR.

Why? His “non-endorsement” doesn’t seem to have hurt much.

When it comes down to it we simply can not have a "President Hillary R. Clinton". Just the thought of it scares the crap out of me. Especially after 8 years of the commie POS in there now.

If they play this right, it could be positioned as a big win for both....it gets Cruz back in the game in his mind, and Trump can look like the guy who can make deals and mend fences and bring people together.

Also if Trump becomes President, he can raise Cruz’s profile in a way that makes it far more beneficial for Cruz to support Trump than undermine him.

Hillary and Bill hated (and probably still hate) Obama....and I’m sure it is mutual.

Yawn. Does anyone really care? Does this guy have such an inflated opinion of himself that he thinks the country is at the edge of their seats waiting for his ever-so-important endorsement?

As Hitlery would say, “At this point in time, what difference does it make?”

I hope he does. I also hope he divests himself of that lunatic Beck.

This endorsement should be welcomed. Trump’s team seems to acknowledge that fact. Needed? Maybe not. Welcomed? Absolutely helps. Helps Cruz? Probably.

Agree with your passing by the pettiness to gain real advantage for everyone.

It's a sure sign that the insiders are seeing that Trump is going to win this thing. They gambled that Trump would lose and so they tried putting themselves in position to pick up the pieces later while saying "I told you so."

Now they are simply swallowing their pride and putting themselves on the winning side. I'm sure Trump will appreciate the endorsement but the hesitation will be noted.

And .. recently, Trump began talking support for Cruz’s push to stop Obama from releasing control over the internet.

That might have been why Cruz is now suddenly ready to support Trump.

Yes, better late than never; and a smart move by Trump.
