Ted Cruz contemplates the unthinkable
Politico ^ | 7/18/2016 | Glenn Thrush

Posted on 07/18/2016 4:08:07 PM PDT by orchestra

Still smarting from his loss in the primary, Cruz says he’ll use his convention speech to outline his own vision of the Republican Party’s future. But will he endorse?

One of these days, and maybe soon, Ted Cruz just might have to endorse Donald Trump.

But he’ll never concede Trump could have beaten him in a fair fight — and he’ll never accept that Trump’s me-first philosophy represents a sustainable future for the GOP. Above all, Cruz wants to use the big stage in Cleveland to present a non-Trump alternative vision for his party’s future, one rooted in constitutional conservative principles and competent campaign management modeled, oddly enough, on Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 White House runs.

“In this election I am where a great many voters are, which is that I am listening and watching and coming to a decision,” Cruz, the highest-profile Trump holdout heading into this week’s convention, told me when I asked him if he intended to throw his support behind the former reality TV star imminently.

Yes and no. Part of me wants him booed off the stage.the other feels that if so, he will come unhinged, ruining the event and require security to physically remove him from the building.<p<

The media will have a field day with negatives of Trump’s convention.

He acted like the good Lord had promised him everything he could name and claim on a silver platter.

But he who wants to be great in the kingdom of God needs to learn to be the servant of all. And to humble himself under the mighty hand of God so that he may be exalted at the proper time. God might be choosing to operate through Donald Trump at this point. A lime light might be waiting for the area of Cruz’s expertise, but this does not seem to be the time for it. A constitutional conservative following that is hard put to pack a phone booth isn’t going to do greater America any good.

Yup. Time to open all the books on this KOOK POS Cruz. If he and his demon spawn son aren't communist plants like Obama, I'll eat my hat.

I wish they would cut him. Why should he get a spot when he hasn’t endorsed.

Exactly. Cruz displays lack of judgement due to lack of ethics.

You never know. He could be president in 2020, or 2024. You never know.

I feel the same as Abby. The current actions of Sen Cruz along with his behavior during the primary demonstrated to me the ego and maturity of someone who should never be considered for the highest court in the land.

Cruz cannot be compared to B.A. Cruz has never accomplished anything in defense of our liberty.
