Two months after he was booed off the stage at the Republican National Convention for snubbing his party’s presidential nominee, Sen. Ted Cruz endorsed Donald Trump on Friday.
That declaration to vote for him, though, comes after the Texas senator openly disparaged his primary opponent repeatedly — in part responding to Trump’s attacks on his wife and father.
1. Early on, Cruz speculated that Trump’s tax returns could show a mob connection
In February, Cruz offered his take on why Trump hadn’t released his tax returns in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” suggesting that they might show “Donald's business dealings with the mob, with the mafia.” “The fact that Donald seems terrified to release his taxes suggests that there’s a bombshell there,” Cruz said. “It’s natural to wonder, ‘Well, what is it that he's hiding in his taxes?’”
2. In March, Cruz called him a “sniveling coward”
Speaking to a group of reporters in Dane, Wisconsin, after Trump made a comment promising to “spill the beans” on the senator’s wife, Cruz pointed his finger and said, “Donald, you’re a sniveling coward.

I’m sure both insulted one another quite sufficiently.
Don’t you mean the people of Alberta Canada?
“I still want him Cantored.”
I’m in Texas, and will help that effort in any way I can.
The people of Alberta didn’t vote the Cubanadian into the US Senate, Texans did.
What about the 6,482 times Trump insulted Cruz and his family? I’m waiting for one of these guys to resort to: “I’m rubber you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.”
Yeah, this whole thing is that childish.
