Did anyone really expect him to say that Trump would be the nominee? If he did, there would be absolutely no justification for Cruz to continue his campaign.
There is no news here, move along.
And snowballs.
OH it’s Ted Cruz day:

Isn’t it funny what the media wants us to read for a certain day....like we don’t know what to read....how many are lies?????
I think Cruz is seriously deficient within his own party. And they’re not going to dump a winner....for a Carson or a Cruz.
What do people expect Ted Cruz to say at this point in time when he is running for president and his numbers are surging — that he doesn’t have a chance to win the nomination and it will be Trump’s to lose?
Of course not.
I’m sure every single candidate will say that of any other front runner ( including Trump himself ) if they are still in the game.
Ever seen the movie WAG THE DOG ?
Not a bad start.
Yep, my thoughts. Last week Trump stated he would go to war with Cruz if he looked like a threat. Now this. I think the battle has begun, and it is going to get really ugly here at FR.

Popcorn futures way up.
More lies!
Trump spoke of a registry for REFUGEES, not all American Muslims. Of course, the truth always interferes with the lib agenda.
The irony is that Trump is wrong. Cruz doesn't back everything Trump says, especially on immigration.
From July of this year:
CHUCK TODD: You still didn't say what you'd do with the 11 million.
TED CRUZ: Well, my view is first, we secure the borders and solve the problem of illegal immigration. And then I think we can have a conversation about what to do about the people who remain here. I don't think the American people will accept any solution until we demonstrate step number one, we can secure the border.
CHUCK TODD: So anything's on the table? Potentially deportation or not deportation, but anythingâs on the table for the 11 million--
TED CRUZ: I think we should secure the border and then have a conversation at that point. Stop using the Washington approach of I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. The American people arenât going for it.

From November 13th:
"While Cruz may not support legalization, he hasn't definitively ruled it out. His position, his campaign said, is that he'll refuse to even discuss what to do with the undocumented population until the border is secure."
http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-11-13/did-ted-cruz-actually-support-legal-status-for-undocumented-immigrants-
From November 20th:
"Texas Sen. Ted Cruz declined to close the door to a potential pathway to legal status for the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally Friday, saying he wouldnât elaborate on his plans for them until after the border is secure.
Seeking to carve out a space between real estate mogul Donald Trump, who is calling for the forcible deportation of those in the U.S. illegally, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who co-authored the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform bill that included a pathway to citizenship, Cruz would not explicitly rule out a pathway to legal status for the undocumented.

Trump could choose to do this classy or he could choose to do it gutter.
Doing it gutter could get Trump in serious trouble. It’s his strategic fight to lose or win. If I were advising Trump, I’d say keep as humble as you possibly can, and admonish Cruz on presumptions and on what’s good for America not so much as what’s bad about Cruz. A difficult task for Trump, knowing Trump — but not impossible.
How else can her raise money - by saying telling the truth that Trump is unstoppable?
Why would you think Cruz is laying a second-to-none grassroots campaign in order to be Trump's second?
Cruz is in this to win.
Yep.
TRUMP supporters will not leave to go to Cruz, no matter what TRUMP, CRUZ (or anyone else) says!
Even if CRUZ gets 100% of Carson’s, Snake Rubio, and Squish Bush voters, CRUZ cannot win!
End of story!
And so is Trump, of course.
Trump is trying to, well, trump the rest by offering a customized “Let’s make a deal” to larger America.
This “COULD” work. It worked for Trump as businessman. As it turns out, larger America is a lot more conservative than its government.
