Good endorsement! Cruz gave good reasons for anyone who doesn’t hate America & Americans (you know — progressive ‘RATS & RINOs) to vote for Trump. He actually kind of begged (”please”) folks to vote Trump.
Onward to victory!
I too am glad to see this endorsement by Cruz. The idea that he did so now because Trump is obviously about to win is ridiculous. Trump may win, but he could also lose, and lose by a clear margin. The election is nowhere close to being over yet.
Cruz explained his reasons in great detail — some of which had already led me on my own to support Trump (his statement: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3472727/posts?page=118#118). In my opinion those reasons should be good enough for almost anyone with any pretense of being on the right to choose Trump over Hillary (anyone with a grain of sense, anyway, who doesn’t place personal animosity over the good of the country).
Most persons make up their minds on their own, of course, being influenced by many persons and events rather than by a single one. Cruz’s endorsement, though, could make a difference of a percentage point or two in key states. Admittedly that’s not ten or twenty percentages points, but this election will probably come down to a few percentage points. Trump needs every one he can get.
Contrast Trump’s own reaction to some of the negative responses here. “I am greatly honored by the endorsement of Senator Cruz. We have fought the battle and he was a tough and brilliant opponent. I look forward to working with him for many years to come in order to make America great again.”
