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.
It won’t make the difference, either way.
I am pretty much done assessing whether I will vote for Cruz in 2018.
Then who is he supporting?
Yep, his lack of integrity is something to be remembered by all, nothing more than a tin horn four flusher.
Trump won the nomination over sixteen announced Republican presidential candidates, defeated them all, and now basically the entire GOPe steps in for their attempt.
It the same old pile on stampede effort to take down Trump.
To all you GOPe fools and washed up talk show hosts, the people voted for Trump, not you.
Link?
Medved is delusional, just like all the others in the ‘Never Trump’ camp. Why don’t they just come out and endorse Hillary? That is what they want.
F*** this @sshole. Talk about narcissism.
This stuff about the “Mexican” comment has gone on long enough...
GOPe and liberal socialists grab onto anything they can....
Trump will lead the House and Senate to victory on the issues....particularly Obamacare and moral issues.
But the big thing I hope happens...is recognition of the Christian Church and "conscience" against the immoral.....removal of crosses, murder of babies, men in the ladies room....and all the cr** we've had to endure under Obama.
The removal of Confederate flags is an abomination. They were citizens, not traitors...with a different perspective.
You signed a pledge, ya fraud.
What the Hell?
NOT a difficult choice!
Cruz should remain silent until he’s able to speak intelligently.
Cruz is becoming a joke — I mean a bigger joke...
Then, alas, we will never hear him speak again. ;)
Given his behavior in the Republican presidential primary, I am hoping he is primaried out during his next run for the US Senate. I am truly embarassed to say I supported him initially.
Think of all the stuff he talked his way out of.....natural born citizen status, supporting lousy trade deals and cheap immigrant labor, possible affairs, those loans he "forgot" to include, a deceitful campaign, his fondness for Trump early in the campaign, his resume with a lot of GoldmanSacs and Bush dynasty connections, even his father's possible connections. Why should we believe his explanations about ANYTHING anymore?
Cruz is no 100-watt light bulb. He could not afford to throw his credibility out the window. Amazing he couldn't figure that one out.
F*** this @sshole. Talk about narcissism.
Canadians don’t honor their pledges. Terd Cruzifer is a lyin pledge breaker.
BUMP!
