Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Tuesday he is still considering whether to support his former rival Donald Trump for president.
"Like many other voters, I'm watching and listening and assessing what he says and what he does and I think that's what millions of voters are doing and that's the way the Democratic process is meant to operate," Cruz said, according to MSNBC.
"I think voters are going to do that from now right until Election Day, and I'm giving it time and watching and assessing."
Cruz, who dropped his presidential bid last month, feuded with the presumptive GOP nominee several times during his campaign. Before dropping out of the race, Cruz called Trump an "utterly amoral" pathological liar, narcissist and bully.
Last month, the Texas senator told reporters he had plenty of time to make a decision on whether or not to back Trump.
Cruz told MSNBC that he is focused on "defending conservative principles," noting he thinks the party's platform should reflect those principles.
"I am fighting for those principles now in the United States Senate. I had hoped to fight for them and implement those principles from the White House," he said.
"It turned out that was not the way the election went and so I'm back here in the Senate working hard to fight for those very same principles."
He said the American people are looking for a leader who will "get Washington off of our backs, that will bring back jobs and economic growth, that will defend the Constitution and that will keep this country safe."
"And I hope that's what we end up with," Cruz said.
Trump has come under fire over comments he made questioning whether an Indiana-born federal judge might be biased against him because of his Mexican heritage. Republican leaders have condemned Trump's remarks.
429CJ blew a head gasket..........
A damn shame. 4.36” bore x 3.59” stroke, it could have produced a lot of power if there wasn’t a jackwagon behind the wheel, lol
I’m calling it an early night, fighting off some kind of bug (dammit), have a good one!
Have a great night.
cruz and his apostles are all whining and still butthurt. Who cares? They all have proven their worth...nothing.
“News” people attacking Trump with absolutely no attempt to offer objective facts or even opinions based on logic was not the demographic I had in mind.
I’m thinking about those of us who will be voting for the man.
“Nothing” is correct. Maybe his wife can get him a job at GS.
How refreshingly civil you are.
They will likely lose the Senate if they keep up this Trash Trump cr@p. Then it won't really matter who is elected as far as the Court is concerned.
You signed a pledge, ya fraud.
Notice that the MSM doesn’t make it about that when Cruz is not supporting the presumptive nom. They just give him an open mic because they know he is going to dump on Trump. Just like the primaries.
Great job...he’s gone, he’s already gone. Good. LOL
I’m still waiting for Cruz to apologize for calling us “low info”. I won’t be holding my breath waiting for that to happen. LOL.
If no one else has said it or will say it here goes, Ted Cruz aka Lucifer is a scumbag whose political career is probably over.
The party needs to unite behind our nominee. As a Cruz supporter, Ted either needs to either support Trump or be quiet.
I see Cruz gave a press availability specifically to stab Trump on the “Mexican” nonsense. How principled and conservative of him.
Yes, loved the 429 Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet.
Bought a family Thunderbird with a 429. Rebuilt it myself (college friend wanted to learn, too).
Cruz is being Cruz by playing politics up until the final time to make the support annoucement.
That will come at the convention after Cruz has got his platform planks he’s looking for.
When all is adopted and Trump is the official nominee Cruz will make a big splash for Trump.
Nope. I have no doubt Cruz is planning a fight on the platform. He’s a very divisive force and won’t pass up the opportunity to make the convention about himself.

And so here we are ON ANOTHER PRIMARY DAY and Teddy Boy can’t help but inject his GOP Establishment Concern Troll behavior.
Color me surprised.
I find it amusing to listen to the Trump supporters whining once again about people not falling in line behind Trump. This after Trump hinted several times that he might drop out and go third-party and not support the Republican candidate. And this after Trump supporters threatened to never vote for anyone but Trump. The hypocrisy is overwhelming
And I find it amusing that delusional Loser Cruzers think millions of “low info” Trump supporters will ever support Lyin Ted Cruz again. He’s dead to us. Understand?
LOL...Good.
From Jan 2013 to Jun 2016, Cruz missed 204 of 1,085 roll call votes, which is 18.8%.
This is much worse than the median of 1.6% among the lifetime records of senators
currently serving. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
And Senator Cruz was lounging pool side in Mexico as the Uniparty rammed through the Obama plan to turn our suburbs into Section 8 dump holes. How principled and conservative of him.
