Mike Huckabee to Ted Cruz: If you can’t endorse Trump in your convention speech, get off the stage
Hot Air ^ | July 08, 2016 | Allahpundit

Should Cruz, Kasich, Carly Fiorina, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham or any of the others not own up to their nationally televised promise to support the GOP nominee whoever it was, they most certainly should not get near the stage at the RNC. And we all should remember that they would have expected us to support them had they been the nominee, but in a crucial moment for America, they decided to help Obama have a third term by helping Clinton.

Donald Trump met with Senator Cruz in Washington on Thursday and reportedly offered him a speaking slot at the convention. That was a gracious and generous offer from Trump. According to Senator Cruz, there was not a requirement to endorse. Let’s hope that the senator will reciprocate the kind gesture and use a speech as the occasion to honor his nationally televised pledge to do so. If he can’t do that, he should quietly decline the speaking slot.

- Huckabee

I tend to agree. Trump handed out an olive branch to Ted. Is Ted man enough to do the right thing? I guess we shall find out.

Ted Cruz is a liar for not endorsing Trump and for not knowing he was a Canadian citizen.

Huckabee is still auditioning for VP.

He stands for nothing and would be equally happy as Hillary’s VP.

I think ALL Elected Republicans that refuse should be Bounced from the Party completely after the Convention of course.

He knew perfectly well that he was a Canadian citizen and he knows he is NOT a natural born citizen.
I will never vote for him.
Luckily for him, I’m not in Texas, so if he doesn’t try to usurp the Presidency again, we won’t have a problem.

Good for Huckabee. I am so tired of that nasal fraud whose very name is fake.

My gut tells me that Cruz will plot and finagle and still try to twist the nomination away from Trump. And that if he does give a speech it will be clearly aimed at backstabbing and undermining Trump. Because if he’s STILL nursing his case of redass at this late date; he’s going to continue doing it.

I hope and pray that I’m wrong.

If Ted doesn’t endorse I feel he will get his ass booed off the stage. Ted can do it the right way or the Cruz way. Which is to piss everyone off.

Agree fully! The primaries are over, Mr. Cruz.
You ran very well (especially for a man who knows he’s ineligible). Since you lost, however, you’ve made a complete ass of yourself. It is past time to grow up and grasp the reality that this isn’t all about you.

We were told that Cruz was a principled,Christian, Constitutionalist.

From the night of the Iowa primary on, there was zero evidence for any of these three attributes.

Safe play by Huckabee.

I think many are going to be surprised by what Cruz will say at the convention.

He needs to be compelled to produce the first documents alleging his US citizenship. He is every bit the construct, man-that-never-was as is Barry/Barack O’bama/Dunn/Davis.

Kaitlin Graham? Why should she get anywhere near the stage when she could only garner 1% of the primary vote?
