“I mean, give me a break, Ted, go ahead and endorse [Donald Trump]. You lost, he won. I think Cruz is a terrific guy, strict constitutionalist. He’s not the most bubbly guy I’ve ever run across, if you understand what I’m saying. But, I love that dude. All the guys who lost, and gals, they all need to swallow their pride and say, ‘The people — the Republican party has said Donald Trump is the man we want in the White House,'” Robertson stated.

I have to agree with Phil. My first choice was Scott Walker. As one of the talking heads said, he wasn’t even around long enough for Trump to give him a moniker. After that I switched to Cruz and I really line up with most of his views.
I understand if Ted is still angry with Trump for insinuating his wife was ugly and inferring that his Dad was involved in the assassination of JFK. I would feel the same way he does. Trump could attack me, but attacking my family would be off limits and a deal breaker also. However, as one commentator on CNN said, what he did last night was like being invited to the dinner party, eating Trumps prepared meal and dessert and then pee’ing on the carpet.
If Ted was not going to endorse, my feeling is he should have not accepted the prime speaking spot. He should have attended to show unity, but declined to speak. What he did told me it was more about himself than about what’s good for the country.
For Ted, the truth is hard to swallow because he’s too busy choking on his pride.
I agree.
A few words Trump has said is nothing compared to the actions of a president Hillary, just on SCOTUS alone.
Is he really a strict adherent to the Constitution? I used to think so, but I am not so sure anymore. He is definitely not a terrific guy. A terrific guy wouldn't have to be told to endorse Trump. He's nothing more than a self-absorbed sore loser, who is too small to be a real man.
Pay attention Ted
Ted’s a gifted speaker but showing he’s not a gifted thinker.
Ted has too much face paint....has he ever really been hunting before
I thought I remembered that he was, his son Willy though was a Trump supporter.
Rookie mistake.
One of the classic misdesigns
The Robertsons first supported Jindal, for obvious local reasons, until he dropped out. Phil later went with Ted, and Willie said “I love me some Trump” but held off on endorsing for a while.
Indeed
Actually Churchill wasn’t loved at first either.
Phil’s a good man - thoughtful...
Tump wasn’t loved at first either. These are very superficial comparisons.
When Ron Paul wrote himself out of the ongoing drama, no one else was written in to fill that role.
Not his fault, but Rand Paul just isn't up to it. He just doesn't inspire the same emotional response that his dad could at will.
While the Cruz character is not the same as the Ron Paul character, they both can touch a certain frequency range of voters who will respond, guaranteed.
That's the niche with Cruz's name on it.
Cruz has a following and the following now has its Cruz.
The show must go on...
As for his father, Trump did not make the accusation, he merely remarked on it.
Sorry, but Cruz's political career died with his speech.
Cruz’s political career died after that speech. So what good is his niche?
I agree, and I was really responding to Rush’s comment that Cruz isn’t loved like Churchill. But one thing I’m certain about, Churchill never committed political suicide, while Cruz clearly has. I don’t see him rising like a Phoenix out of the firestorm he has created either.
An endorsement from Cruz is pointless now. Cruz is toxic. Phil’s message to Cruz should have been to go and “eff” himself. Nobody cares what he has to say anymore. His endorsement, like his word, is garbage.
