Item said: 47 min ago -- so it just happened.

"WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - In an abrupt shift, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz endorsed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Friday, saying he is the only candidate who can stop Democrat Hillary Clinton from winning the White House on Nov. 8.

"A year ago, I pledged to endorse the Republican nominee, and I am honoring that commitment. And if you don't want to see a Hillary Clinton presidency, I encourage you to vote for him," the former Republican presidential candidate said in a lengthy statement. Cruz, a senator from Texas who is a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement, was one of Trump's last challengers for the Republican presidential nomination to drop out of the race."

It is about time!

Cruz must be expecting a Trump win and is covering his bases, after practically endorsing and cavorting with Hillary.

Probably closer the truth. He see’s internal polling and is thinking about how bad he is going to need Trump to support him when he runs for reelection. Here is TX, he has pissed a LOT of people off.

Priebus said non-supporters couldn’t run as RNC candidates in 2020...maybe had something to do with Cruz’s change of heart.

At least he came on board, unlike Jeb, the rest of the benighted Bush family, and Kasich.

Very big story to the media.
Media’s trying to use it to hurt BOTH Cruz and Trump by re-reporting their nastiness to each other.

Too little too late from the natural born Canadian. The old milk cow of politics must be drying up on Ted’s political aspirations.

Yes, at least he loves his country enough to not watch it be destroyed and came to his senses unlike the other traitorous scoundrels who will never make up or reverse the damage they do to this country and world should Hillary gets in.

He is doing this because the GOP base in Texas was ready to primary him and throw his butt out of office.

OK, he is not so dead to me.

If Trump wins, all will be forgiven.

And Cruz will probably be the next SCOTUS Justice.

Quick, get Glenn Beck into a straight jacket fast before he hurts himself or others.

Oh, the sight, sound and smell of anti-Trump people’s heads exploding. Gotta love it.
