Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has picked up endorsements from six New Hampshire lawmakers who previously supported Sen. Rand Paul's (R-KY) presidential bid.
From The New Hampshire Union Leader:
The six state lawmakers endorsing Cruz are: Rep. Max Abramson of Seabrook, Rep. Eric Eastman of Nashua, Rep. Harold French of Franklin, Rep. Larry Gagne of Manchester, Rep. JR Hoell of Dunbarton, and Rep. Mark McLean of Manchester.

They were there on Iowa Caucus night for Ted Cruz.
That article gives the history. Very good read.
Good news indeed!
Big news! Not totally unexpected but a nice way to cap off the weekend!
Yes!
ping!
There’s all that former Paul Trump support Ted’s followers were speaking about last night when Trump was winning the after debate polls 65-85% to 10-20%.
It looks to me like this race is going to go all the way to the convention.
Paul’s people are anti establishment types and are going for Trump.
I hear from people in Trumpville that Paul people are volunteering for Trump. Paul doesn’t like Cruz all that much, and I suppose with a snake like Millhouse Cruz the have no use for Cruz.
Welcome Ladies and Gents of Paulville, Trump will make America great again.
Newsflash: Paul despises Trump and Paul supporters will not support Trump-par praedam.
Tea Party: Free Roger!
Biggus Preebus: Vewy well — Welease Woger!

Libertarians won't support a narcissistic blowhard authoritarian.
Those six backing Paul may be the reason his poll numbers were so low.
Amen!
Rand Paul has been trashing Trump consistently since the very first debate. He doesn’t like big-government statists.
Cruz deserves and will get the lion’s share of Rand’s supporters in the primary.
Yep. Constitutionalists stick with Constitutionalists.
Establishment types never supported Rand Paul.
You should look at every politician’s record before you bash them all with one brushstroke as “establishment.”

Well, considering that NH’ers elect either socialist dems or gop-e rinos (ie - pickings are slim), any endorsement is likely better than no endorsement to the NH voters.
Yay!
