Same old same old. Ted falsely claimed Ben Carson was leaving the race. Then he falsely claimed he was leaving the race.

Funny, I thought he’d suspended his campaign?

I am still waiting for them to define the term “Constitutional Conservative”

Cruz living up to his reputation. Trump had him pegged in January:

"But he's a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him." - Donald J. Trump

My guess is that Cruz may have a hard time winning re-election. I think he will draw one or more primary candidates.

I met Harold in about 1980, his last run I think, nice guy and a real gentleman, please don’t compare Cruz to him.

Narcissistic personality disorder.

Yep, we're probably dealing with multiple personality and mental disorders, but there is definitely an obsessive/compulsive aspect to it.

“So....give whatever you can to help Cruz keep his conservative vision alive.”

Yeah I’ll give. I’ll give a $hit!

It doesn’t matter that Donald Duck speaks gibberish and walks around with no pants. If Donald Duck is an R, they are going to support him.

If this is how so-called “Conservatives” conduct themselves, I want nothing to do with it.

Not sure what this creep is up to, but it seems clear at the very least he, along with Romney are up to no good.

I tend to believe that Cruz dropped out when he did in part to allow the nevertrump cabal to name a 3rd party candidate before the Texas filing deadline.

Failing that, they are planning something else. Something so nefarious that it requires some sort of “bombshell”, to use Romney’s favorite phrase, to attempt paint the GOP rejection of Trump via delegate seating at the convention.

No doubt, Romney will continue to attempt to sabotage Trump. Perhaps costing him Utah which complicates the electoral map.

I promised myself that I wouldn’t say another negative word about TC. The mocking is hard to hold back though. Gee wiz carly set a record of dropping out of the same race 3 times. Are we going for 4?

Cruz is getting conservatives higher up in the Party- going to the convention is good for advancement.

Or one can let POLITICO tell them what to think. The DNC prefers one do.

The race is over.

Does Beck know of this action? He just predicted that Trump will be our next president

Look Cruz has something like 148 of the Texas delegation that is pledged to him. They are going to vote for him on the 1st ballot.

An it will make absolutely ZERO difference because he will still be far, far short of enough to make any kind of difference.

Trump is going to walk into Cleveland with over 1,400 delegates.

Cruz is trying to buttress up his own support to have some influence over the platform.

Since he is going to end up with the highest delegate count and the highest popular vote of any 2nd place GOP finisher in the last 20+ years...he has a right to try and have some influence.

But as far as his prospects for any hope for the nomination...that bus left the station after NY, and had disappeared after Indianan.

...and he recognized it and suspended his campaign.

But he still hopes to have some influence and probably feels he owes it to what will probably be close to 8 million people ho voted for him.

This is a tempest in a tea pot as far as I am concerned.
