Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant on Monday endorsed Ted Cruz for president on the eve of that state's primary.
MORE FROM WSBT.COM Politicians remember #BloodySunday on Twitter Some Rubio advisers say get out before Florida Nancy Reagan's funeral set for Friday Mr. T honors Nancy Reagan in a series of heartfelt tweets Florida poll: Donald Trump leads Marco Rubio Bryant, elected in 2011, is the second state governor to back the Texas senator, who previously won the support of his home state governor, Greg Abbott, in addition to the governor or the territory of Guam, Eddie Calvo.
Those are the most senior Republican elected officials to have backed Cruz, who has yet to an endorsement from a fellow senator.
"It's time for Republicans to join together and unite the party for the good of our state and our nation," Bryant said in a statement. "I urge my fellow Mississippians to join me in standing behind Ted Cruz tomorrow."...
Cruz, under the weather, had canceled a rally he had planned to hold on Monday in Ellisville, the hometown of tea party hero and Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel, who had been Cruz's highest-profile surrogate in the state.
In addition to Mississippi, Republicans also vote on Tuesday in Hawaii, Idaho and Michigan vote Tuesday.

He endorsed Thad Cochran too:

“I am glad Senator Cochran is running for re-election and I, like thousands of Mississippians, had encouraged him to do so. He is the father of the conservative Republican takeover of Mississippi, and his wisdom will be an asset to the conservative cause as long as he serves. We as Republicans have a major fight in Washington to unwind the Obama agenda in the next six years, and we need our best minds on the job. I hope all Republicans will rally behind Thad Cochran.”
And unlike Iowa & South Carolina, people actually listen to him.
Cochran party trash!
Enthusiasm is one thing, endless trolling another.
This is the Rino apparatus from hell. Remember when they paid black voter to vote for Cockran on the runoff vs McDaniels? Millions of Rino dollars stole the election useng poor blacks needing the $15. Haley Barbour? OMG!! Who was that horrible Senator— Yes!! Trent Lott. This endorsement is a joke .They don’t like Cruz!! They are using Cruz against Trumps on slaughtto keep their money and power. Wake Up!!
Hopefully Rick Scott here in Florida tells me how to vote before Teusday
He endorsed Cruz’s buddy Romney in 2012.
Doesn’t matter, Cruz would be toast as the nominee-——http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=231197
Yes, and you would think this would be national news, given that MS votes tomorrow. But I have not seen any coverage of this in any national media. Whenever Rubio got endorsements from governors or senators, Fox/CNN, etc. trumpeted it all over the news.
OK, I see that Politico does have the story.
Amen! I vote in Florida and all read to vote trump but if Rick Scott tells me otherwise......well you know. Lol.
You are right. Cruz will never be president.
The thing that Cruz supporters can’t seem to get through their head is if Cruz is president he still has to deal with the same congress that Hillary would have to deal with. They will let Hillary do what she wants and if Cruz wants to do anything he’ll do what he’s told. So, I see no difference in the two. They’re both beholden to big money.
Gov endorsed Cochran, but hasn’t their victim, Chris McDaniel also endorsed Cruz? Seems to me Cruz is actually uniting the MS GOP.
By campaigning with a guy who wants to arrest gays?
Not likely.
Chris McDaniel is Cruz’s campaign chair in MS.
