Cruz has already stated that he will vote for Trump, and spoken highly of Trump's performance at Monday's debate mugging.

One of the most incredibly intelligent statements anyone has ever made.

And most people’s eyes glaze over when they hear it.

He has been doing so. He even did an interview after the debate discussing how Trump delivered the vision that is best for America.

I agree. Ari Flescher trashed Trump just a few months ago. Now Trump is on the verge of winning, these people want to infiltrate into the Trump Admin to mitigate the impact on their globalist agenda.

It is. The third part, about unknown unknowns is the true insight, that idiots mock.

I believe it was also Rumsfeld who reminded us that you go to war with the army you have, not the army you want. Also a very insightful comment which applies to the current election.

I respectfully disagree that these folks “know Trump will win”. SHOULD Trump win? Of course. However, I believe HRC got the debate questions beforehand— yet, will we ever prove this? This is just one example of the point I'm making: FRAUD is our enemy and the MEDIA are our enemies. (Actually, fraud and the media are intertwined.)

Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, and Bennett, to name a few, showed guts in signing this. I believe they know what Trump is up against in trying to win this. (Do you recall that something like 97 polling places in Pennsylvania posted ZERO votes for Romney, versus tens of thousands for Obama? FRAUD.) I don't think they believe Trump is a lock by any means. Take Rumsfeld, for example: he doesn't give a damn about the establishment, at least not anymore. But he does care about this country.

Let's cheer for everyone who jumps aboard the Trump Train!

I draw the line at Tommy Thompson. Rino who wouldn’t take on Fiengold but was good enough to run for POTUS. Window closed on the senate when he couldn’t beat a Marxist. What a joke we have.

“Has Cheney spoken yet?”

Yes, Cheney and his wife and their daughter — at least, the non-lesbo one — all have endorsed TRUMP — enthusiastically.

He has been in government since the Nixon era.

Not really. He spent six years in Congress in the 60s, then seven years in the Nixon and Ford administrations. From 1976 to 2001 he was in the private sector, served 5 years as SecDef, and has been in the private sector since 2006. That's a total if 17 years out of 53. Most of his life he has held jobs in the private sector.

“Ksick? Jeb? Romney”

Jeb is being a sore loser; Kasich IS a loser (and a jerk). Romney painted himself into a corner a while ago and probably feels he can't endorse Trump at this point.

Impressive considering the Bush family’s total meltdown over Trump.

That’s a good point.

Staffers, advisors, and other politccal and party people can turn your victory into a loss in no time.

Trump needs to be very alert to this.

It’s hard to believe but c. 1979 to 1982, Warner was a real conservative.

They were not planning to endorse him because they thought Hillary had it in the bag. They wanted to be able to work with her and not endorsing Trump would show her that they supported her behind the scenes.

Now they know Trump is inevitable, so they need to show support for him so they can try to maintain some of the gravy train. They are all a bunch of elitist liars.

Should have stayed there.

This is the GOP coming together. It will hit a crescendo on election day.
