I assume you meant that sarcastically, however Cruz accompanied Pence to WI (where he won his last primary over Trump) and campaigned hard. It helped win a state that nobody thought Trump would win. While it took him awhile, Senator Cruz did not sit on the sidelines and vote for McMullin or McCain like Grahamnesty and Kasich.

Cruz and Trump do not and will not get along personally for the foreseeable future. However, policy-wise, they are not far apart. Trump needs Cruz to stiffen the spine of the Senate, and will have keep Majority Leader McConnell from curling into a ball when the Dems speak meanly to him. Cruz needs Trump to help get rid of Obamacare and place constitutionalists on the Supreme Court.

As a staunch Cruz supporter and a reluctant Trump supporter let me be the first to say CONGRATULATIONS!

I have crossed swords(as many of us Cruzheads have) with Trump supporters from the beginning. Many of us on FR that supported Cruz were concerned with two major percieved potential issues with the Donald....That he was indeed a conservative and was he electable. The lattert was answered last night, the former will be answered in the coming months.

I voted for Donald Trump because even the remotest chance of a Hillary Clinton presidency was unconscionable. Many of us Cruzheads got over our butthurt over Cruz losing and realized that even an imperfect Trump was vastly superior to the vile Hildebeast. Hence many of us DID vote our conscience and cast our ballot for Trump. I honestly believe that many Cruz supporters including those here on FR did the same and certainly helped push Trump over the top.

The time for all Republicans to unite and push for the conservative constitutional governance that this country is so desperately lacking is now. I will give Donald Trump my complete support in the diligent pursuit of this end. I would hope that all fellow conservatives would do the same.

No. It didn’t.
