From the article, “in his first interview after dropping out of the race, he clearly stated that he will not endorse party’s presumptive nominee, Donald Trump. He said that there is no chance that he will support Trump”
What a guy! Ted of course feels no obligation at all to stick by his word or the written statement that he signed. Real presidential material; I am sure that no one on the international stage noticed that his word means nothing.
If Ted Cruz does that (refuse to endorse) I think he is pulling the plug on his national aspirations. Cruz is essentially hoping his die-hard supporters will not vote Trump (and many may well not). The republicans lose and he comes back 4 years later to get the nomination.
If he goes that route, and I think that is a reasonable interpretation of his intent if he does not endorse and offer himself for a cabinet position, it shows a personal ambition that is kind of scary. I doubt folks will think well of such an action in 4 years should Trump lose and it turns out a significant number of Cruz supporters stayed home.
That said he has just over a month to come around. If he endorses after the final results on June 7th he will negate most of the hard feeling and the affect of his Indiana Tuesday epic rant. Hope he comes to his senses, his implosion will be a loss to the republican party.
Kind of odd, if he had not been power mad he would not be the heir apparent to the VP slot, and likely the Presidential pick in 4 or 8 years (assuming the NBC issue is worked out favorably). Instead his reputation is in ruins (if he continues down this path) and he seemingly is unaware of how much he has damaged himself.
I guess the nomination process does serve a purpose to vet folks.
