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.

I pray Felito gets booed off the stage. He deserves it.
It may not be nearly as bad as that, but for him to have been rubbing elbows with the culprit needs some explaining. Was he trying to evangelize this fellow only to have it blow up in his face?
Cruz was my guy before Trump announced.
What a life lesson.
You can’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Hell NO! Are you out of your mind? I wouldn’t want him anywhere near the Supreme Court. It needs cleaning up as it is. Cruz is a CUBNADIAN. He isn’t even eligible and knows it, but thinks he’s snowed enough idiots to run for prez in 2020.
What does Ted Cruz have in common with Tom Brady?
I started out liking him, but began to suspect that he’s narcissistic on the scale of a John Edwards.

Let him get bood off the stage.
You all are going to listen to this leftist rag that wants us to bash Cruz and each other?
Kind goes along with this one a bit (another great song by the Who)...

“Cruz says he’ll use his convention speech to outline his own vision of the Republican Party’s future.”
The man must be harebrained. The voters rejected his freakin’ vision.
Bill Kristol was just interviewed on CSPAN. What a flaming AH.
Cruz articulated a number of policies I agreed with....
i never got on board only because he’s obviously ineligible
and he obviously must know it...and I was going around in circles over whether two wrongs make a right, ha! anyway I was applauding Cruz a lot while hoping an eligible version of him would announce....
as a Senator he is of course eligible....
i think Texans may have given him an even larger re=election vote after his campaign (but now that he’s made such a terrible spectable of being a spoiled sore loser, perhaps Texans might just replace him next election? he sure made a sow’s ear out of a silk purse behaving like he has..... alas!)
politics mostly disgusts me nowadays. I remember when we had some public-service type representatives.... really I do.... (yes, I date back to the Paleolithic Era, ha ha!)
the many, many modern-day liars cheats crooks and traitors are very very hard to like
Krisol Meth resurfaced? Ducked out until the rules committee killed his #IMAVAGINA movement.
I hear you, Harley Lady.
Lyin Ted! :-)
He’s saying the Republican Party is Putin’s Party now on twitter.
Ted, the days to push your agenda were during the campaign. Now it’s time to get behind the nominee. And you can push your agenda next election go-around.
Doing it now - that’s just being amateur and childish...
Care to cite examples that would not make Cruz a good SC justice?
You all are going to listen to this leftist rag that wants us to bash Cruz and each other?
Did you read the article? That “leftist rag” was all but fellating “true conservative” Ted Cruz. How pathetic is that?
