It’s easy now. Constitution scholar or not. Vote Trump or Hillary. kiss principle
I disagree with this author. If he loves the Constitution so much, then he should tell Ted to give full support to Trump, because the alternative is a woman who would turn that document, and everything it stands for, into toilet paper.
It’s not a matter of whether Trump is “pure” enough - it’s a matter of whether the country, America, and the Constitution will EXIST anymore. Hillary is THE END.
Wake the HELL up!
Well there little Stevie, you are a constitutionalist in the same way and to the exact same degree as Micheal Moore is a constitutionalist.
Ted’s mother gave up her United States citizenship for Canadian citizenship when she was pregnant with Ted. That bought her subsidized medical care.
Neither of Cruz’s parents were US Citizens at the time Ted was born in Canada.
The man isn’t eligible for the presidency.
Sorry, 100% wrong attitude and direction. I, too, am a Constitutional Conservative.
What Ted should have said: “I know that Hillary does not and will not support or uphold our Constitution, and I could never vote for her. Although Trump and I have had our differences, he has stated that he will surround himself with the best people to Make America Great Again -— so I am offering right now to help him on any Constitutional question or any matter where government has been or may be at odds with the Constitution. America can count on me to be right there, every day, helping not only to Make America Great Again, but also to Make America Constitutional Again.”
Cruz’s speech was a blatherfest about nothing. It was just self serving horse hockey. Halfway through Mr. GG2 said “what is he even talking about?”. I was just watching to see him get booed off the stage and Cruz did not let me down. What a loser!
A citizen, any citizen, but especially one who has campaigned under the banner of love for county and devotion to its Constitution's limits on government and protections for freedom for its "only KEEPERS," We, the People (Justice Story's Commentaries . . . .)--any citizen who, by their words and actions makes it easier for an unethical pair of power-hungry politicians to claim the White House--is not worthy of future consideration for President.
By not endorsing Donald Trump Ted Cruz just shot himself in the foot. If Trump loses and they blame it on Cruz people will remember. if Cruz has any further political ambitions it’s all over for him. He will have to go back home to Canada.
Let’s see if his wife gets a promotion at Goldman Sachs. Or if he starts getting big speaking fees. He may have blown it for us but done exactly what the Clintons want. And that leads to big payoffs.
Since I trust him as much as I trust Hillary today there’s no telling what his motivations were. The only thing certain is that the good of the party or country did not influence him.
Cruz is not a Republican, he is a bitter selfish sore-loser who threw a tantrum that blew up in his face.
Cruz is what I call a SPRINO. That is a Self-Centered, Power-Hungry, Reprehensible, Imbecile, Negating, Order.
Cruz is everything that is wrong in the Republican Party. Caring only about his own power and glory, and trying to divide the party instead of unifying it.
If Cruz is this great Constitutionalist who does he want nominating the next group of Supreme Court justices? Hillary or Donald? I think the choice is a no-brainer.
Cruz did mention the Constitution, he just failed to point out how important it is for those who love it to vote Trump-Pence.
Newt did so later.
Cruz was just too petty.
I preferred Cruz.
I voted for Rubio in the Florida primary because he was the most electable in the general election.
I will support Trump.
Yeah that’s it! All the pundits IMAGINING what the other 16 should have said, done...
Well they are all done and they all should at least respect OUR VOTES if not the Man we choose!
But no, still whining, still imagining!
Here’s what I imagine!
They all go to vote anyway and vote for the only person capable of stopping 4 more years of obummer!
Because he LET HER GO FREE! And now she is his and his handler’s Puppet!

“Senator Cruz is a constitutionist. I am a constitutionist. I study our Constitution”
Oh good, so you, as well as Senator Cruz, know he is not eligible to be POTUS due to the natural born clause.

His BC: 
Ted Cruz has close association with the Bushes. He worked on George W. Bush^s 2000 presidential campaign as a domestic policy adviser and served in the Bush administration as associate deputy attorney general in the Justice Department and director of policy planning in the Federal Trade Commission. Time magazine article:
Time magazine had one of many reports clarifying his immigration posturing:
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz declined to close the door to a potential pathway to legal status for the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally Friday, saying he wouldn"t elaborate on his plans for them until after the border is secure.
Seeking to carve out a space between real estate mogul Donald Trump, who is calling for the forcible deportation of those in the U.S. illegally, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who co-authored the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform bill that included a pathway to citizenship, Cruz would not explicitly rule out a pathway to legal status for the undocumented.
That, plus his previous support for a huge increase in H1B visas, stymied him as he tried to launch an attack on Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who was a co-author and major mover on the Gang of 8 immigration bill that passed the Senate overwhelmingly. On one level, Rubio" team is simply pointing out that if anti-immigration types want the real deal, Cruz is not the one. Rubio, of course, benefits if Cruz cannot capture the anti-immigration segment of the electorate to whom Donald Trump panders. On another level, however, what is at stake is a larger argument about Cruz's character. Essentially. the argument goes: He is not a hard-liner; he's an opportunist whose positions are no different, and in some cases worse, than those of other Republicans.
On immigration, for example, the entire anti-"amnesty" crusade is a canard unless, like Trump, you want to round people up and kick them out. Otherwise, you are exactly where other candidates are fix the border, reform legal immigration and then regularize the 11 million here. Cruz spends his time excoriating other Republicans for squishiness, but when you get down to it, he's exactly where they are” unwilling to undertake a massive, expensive, intrusive deportation program. In other words, he's not an anti-immigration extremist; he's just posturing as one.
What do we know about Rafael Eduardo Cruz? He was born in a foreign country.
He was admitted to Harvard only because of Affirmative Action Admissions Policies. He was given good grades by Liberal professors because of his race, even though his work was substandard. He has kept his college transcripts secret for reasons he will not admit. He has had a shameful Senate record, accomplishing nothing, not voting, not showing up for work. Very few from his 99 colleagues in Senate endorsed Cruz for president. These are the people he works with. Senator Sessions & Governor Palin saw right through phony Cruz, and endorsed Trump!
Cruz never had a real job in the private sector. He has been cashing government checks all his adult life.
He should have said “Be sure to go to the polls in November and vote to defeat Hillary Clinton.” It would mean voting for Trump, yet he would have not said “Vote for Trump.” What he said has left me wondering if he realizes the threat Hillary really is, not only for the country but for the world.
Cruz was too wrapped up in himself to try argue for a more Constitutionally sound platform. As such he betrayed his principles not just in breaking his pledge, but for putting ego above country. Of putting a grudge above the constitution. Of putting some third thing he shouldn't have above some third thing he should have that I can't think of the best example of right now but would finish out this paragraph very well if I could think of it....
