Cruz supporters seem extremely willing to give his closest surrogates a total pass on everything they say.
Bottom line is, if you’re out there speaking for the campaign, you’re speaking for it. If you say something that’s not official canon for the campaign agenda, the onus is on the candidate to clarify.
Cruz never clarifies. Because he is a coward. He has his people go out and say all the things that he doesn’t want to say himself on camera, and then it’s crickets. His campaign is pandering to leftists just as much as Kasich, Linda, and Jeb ever did.
Cruz is a terrible, business as usual GOPe stooge in that regard. Among others.

I have my criticisms of Cruz and Trump. I am willing to vote for either.
You, on the other hand, joined a conservative forum 6 months ago and have done almost nothing but continuously bash the most conservative candidate in the race.
Cruz is the most pro-life, pro-family, pro-religious liberty, pro-states rights, pro-gun rights, constitutional conservative that even ran this time. His conservative ratings with EVERY conservative group have been in the high 90 to 100 percentile. He has a zero percentile rating with NARAL.
He is hated by all the right people. And oddly, you are among them.
And I’ve already heard your nonsensical arguments that endorsements by GOPe people like Graham, Romney, and McCain prove something. Is he supposed to denounce them for doing what he asked them to do by supporting him? At the same time you will argue how Trump has no obligation to denounce David Duke. Graham, Romney, McCain, et al, are supporting Cruz to use him. They don’t like him any more than Trump... probably less.
And what I am posting is mostly for the benefit of others here. Your track record leads me to believe you are a paid Trump worker who just joined here to stir the pot. Or maybe Planned Parenthood pays you per post. That might make even more sense because Cruz and Trump should be natural allies.
People like you will make it very hard for people like me to vote for Trump in November. But there is still a remote possibility of a Trump-Cruz ticket. It would be a trifecta because they would steamroll Clinton, crush the GOPe, AND make the Cruz haters around here eat crow for several years. Beautiful.
