Had he endorsed Trump, as he and all the others promised to do, he would have had a perfect platform to be an adviser or even a cabinet post, to help rebuild the mess Obozo has created.
Apparently his ego is bigger than his brain.........................
” blah, blah, blah, while Donald Trump and I have differences, big differences in methods and priorities, make no mistake, in this we are united, Hillary Clinton must be defeated in November if this Republic is to survive, period.” ( pause for slow head swiveling view of audience )
“For the sake of the Republic, I call on all of my supporters to join me in supporting the GOP nominee, Donald J. Trump for president of these United States.” ( pause for standing ovation, head bent humbly downwards, slowly rising to face cameras, cut, print )
But Ted, the egoist would have ad-libbed something like this, just to zing Trump and appease the cruzites.
“Just as FDR and Winston Churchill joined with Stalin to vanquish Hitler so must we for the moment set aside our differences and all join in the battle against Hillary Clinton this November. ( stern look towards Trump box seats) Gird your loins, put on the armor of truth, and win this battle!
God Bless America!”
