Ted Cruz on Tuesday floated the possibility of restarting his presidential campaign if he wins Nebraska’s GOP primary Tuesday.
Cruz, who ended his White House run last week, said he does not expect that to happen, but he’s leaving the door open.
"We launched this campaign intending to win. The reason we suspended our campaign was that with the Indiana loss, I felt there was no path to victory," he said Tuesday on Glenn Beck's radio program.
"If that changes, we will certainly respond accordingly."

From what i have read, this post was NOT originally labled “Traitor” as mentioned by the poster. The title is “CRUZ...” Cruz supporters were admonished off posts related to “TRUMP...” especially those regarding rallys.
Only suggesting that the vitriol being thrown like acid every time a conservative supports a conservative candidate (regardless of the mudslinging on Cruz) has gotten WAY beyond tiresome and is more likely to have a negative effect/affect on/by the ‘Cruzers’.
Once again, the Primary has not closed, and Cruz suspended, not conceded. He has every right as a candidate to support his position.
From ‘lyin Ted’ to ‘underhanded’ to ‘TRAITOR’, these continued attempts to belittle a conservative on FR is just not appreciated at this juncture before the primary is officially over.
“I was just beginning to feel better about him.”
There isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for more power.
If Clintoon offered the VP position to her, he would do anything she asked him to do. Maybe she has, and that is why we are seeing his vile behavior since Indiana.
What happened to my tagline? I changed it.
I still maintain that while some people don’t like Cruz, calling him a “traitor” is not helpful for uniting our party behind one candidate.
“Please explain the hatred towards a constitutionalist like Cruz.”
You should have paid more attention the last few months.

Heidi is a pretty woman, but she is never caught without that unpleasant expression on her face.
Did this slapbag say it like an announcement, or was it just an off-the-cuff statement to appease the deranged host? We have to allow for the possibility that he was trying not to get stabbed repeatedly.
how about if we just accuse their father of accessory to murder, think that will help?
Cruz played dirty too. Perhaps not as dirty, but it all depends on whose ox is being gore and what you think is dirty play, so to speak. It seems folks have seen different actions in different lights, what is offensive to one does not seem to be offensive to another. In any case that is now an issue for anthropologists and historians to consider, the main issue now is the coming national election.
I know it is hard to see your candidate go down, I was a Newt fan in 2012 and it took almost the entire election season for me to come around and support Romany. But in the end I did, and I voted with some minor amount of enthusiasm for the fellow, I do think we would be much better off had he been elected, even with all of his defects. In any case one must get past that.
Here is the thing, if Trump goes down, bad things will come to pass. He is the only realistic option at this point. yes he has a lot of flaws, but as I note you seem to be pro-gun, he is pro-gun, Hillary is most certainly not.
If Cruz and his followers decides to stay out based on some ideological purity, well that is certainly their option and one must ultimately be guided by ones inner conscious. That said Cruz and such folks should not expect to find folks receptive to Cruz in 4, 8, 12, or 16 years is that is the path they follow. Conscious works both ways, Trump supporters can have a principled opposition to a politician they see as self-serving in the years to come.
Which means the end of Cruz’s national career, should he not follow though on his promise to support the nominee, made when the thought it would benefit him.
I feel sorry for Heidi. Looks battered.
actually, thats what we accuse you of...
As a Cruz supporter, it does seem a waste of time and some of my MONEY. However, it is the drumbeat of hate that emanated from Trump’s attack mode that permeates to this day on FR against those of us who haven’t forgotten Cruz’s calling out the Senate GOPe over and over.
If there were not Trump, this site would be over the moon for Cruz. Know that i am not one of the ‘never’ voters, but i am well tired of voting for ‘go along to get along’ types. I sincerely hope Trump, if elected, will PROSECUTE these bastards in the WH and all their cronies. Letting BlowJOB Clinton off with a slap and now this witchClinton, well i just couldn’t find my pissed off level with a telescope if Trump finds her once again ‘a great Sec of State’.
It seems like Trump will take Nebraska. This is from HotAir.com:
Even if he won Nebraska tonight, that’s a state he was always “supposed to” win. Winning it wouldn’t affect Trump’s path to the nomination, it’d just put Cruz back on the same losing path he was on after Indiana.
And of course he isn’t going to win Nebraska, although he might have a better than expected showing that embarrasses Trump a bit. I’d be surprised if he cracked 15 percent.
“If there were not Trump, this site would be over the moon for Cruz.”
Nonsense. His fake preacher persona would have become quickly evident and he would have just found something or someone else to pathologically lie about. And he would STILL look like a freaking vampire and have less charisma than Dracula and Richard Nixon put together.
So you would have voted for BushIII eh?
“So you would have voted for BushIII eh?”
Hell, no!
I held my breath and voted for Romney and McCain. After that, I promised myself I would NEVER vote again for someone I didn’t actually support.
Plus, I loathed Jeb going into this because of the disgraceful way he dealt with Terri Shaivo.
Nope.....he’s OBAMA redux.
Good for you.
Since Cruz won’t be on the Ballot in November, who will you Vote for then?
That’s the only Vote that will count since all of Trump’s Opponents have Suspended or Quit their Campaigns.
I’ll assume it will the Republican Nominee since the only alternative is a DemoncRat who will pack the SCOTUS with Justices who have only contempt for the Constitution of the United States of America.
