during a Tuesday interview with SiriusXM hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak on Breitbart News Tonight. Mansour asked Cruz, “Would you be supportive of President Trump if he ran for reelection in 2020?”
Cruz replied, “I certainly assume so. I was supportive of and campaigned for President Trump in 2016, and I am very encouraged with the substantive policy victories we are getting, whether it is an historic tax cut bill, whether it is regulatory reform that’s unleashing jobs, whether it is repealing the Obamacare individual mandate — which I led the fight to do in the United States Senate — whether it is nominating and confirming strong constitutionalists to the courts. On all of those fights I’ve been working to lead the battle. I’m content to continue working to lead that battle and defend our freedoms and defend the Constitution.”

During the 2016 election, Cruz initially opted against endorsing Trump after Trump secured the Republican Party’s nomination following a heated primary race that pitted the Texas senator against the New York real estate mogul. Republican convention goers booed Cruz during his speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, when he advised them to “vote your conscience.” Two months later, he endorsed Trump and assisted his presidential campaign.
Never Trump media figures lamented Cruz’s support for Trump’s campaign. Glenn Beck, a fervent Cruz supporter during the 2016 primary, described himself as “profoundly sad” following Cruz’s endorsement of Trump, whom Beck strongly opposed. Beck later described America as a “petulant child” worthy of divine punishment for making “the wrong choice” in nominating Trump.
Since the election, Cruz has largely supported Trump’s policies and agenda

Yes. You are idiots. Delusional, as well.
I'm sure Chuck Schumer appreciates your support. He's up for re-election in 2020; it's not too early for you to send him some campaign contributions.
Beto will beat him in Texas. Probably will anyway.

Not going to happen.......
Yeah 1.5 days out of 100 ya punk ass bitch.
Did you endorse him at the convention Mr. Hot Shot supporter?
What a maggot.
Ted must be worried about 2018.
‘“I certainly assume so.

If Obama said this many ‘I’s, when asked about someone other than himself, we’d say something about it.
Things must be looking a little dicey down in Texas for Mr. Constitution to tamp down his Presidential aspirations long enough to endorse Trump.
Hey, if Texans can’t loft a Conservative we can count on, then it’s the Texan’s fault.
This douche-bag thought he was outsmarting everyone in 2016.
Well, well, the chickens are coming home to roost.
Blame this fool, but don’t blame folks who voiced the opinion he was really screwing himself in 2016.
They have. His name is "Ted Cruz". Learn to live with it.
Exactly, which is why most folks call him Lying Ted.
His treachery may wind up costing him his seat, and us a more clear majority.
He and his supporters will be sure to blame someone else though.
To a lawyer I guess the word "yes" is just too fricken committal.
I assume so? Who answers that kind of a question like that? Only a weasel does.
Whatever.
I’ll take him at his word because I am optimistic by nature.
Welcome aboard, Rafael Jr. - there’s a nice spot for you over in the corner. We’ll call when you’re needed.
That suit went straight too the rubbish bin.
Gads no, Beck is certifiable but he’ll be forever linked to Cruz in my mind, hence the reference.
F that douche bag.
I’ve go no use for traitors to the cause.
He didn’t gave a damn if Hillary won over Trump.
The stakes as high as they were, and this bastard couldn’t even see a reason to work for Trump tirelessly.
No wonder his daughter pukes at the idea of him kissing her.
“I assume I will...”
That’s the word you wish to take him for?
Another words, if he can come up with some stupid ass reason, he won’t support him. And it wouldn’t be seen as him lying.
This guy is a weasel.
Delusional idiots, one and all.
Cruz will win in November. A good Majority leader should he run and get it. SCOTUS? I say no. Like several of you I just don’t trust him. Maybe AFTER Trump picks 1 or 2 more. I’m afraid he’d end up like Brennan, O’conner, and that one from Connecticut whose name is not worth remembering.
And thank you for proving once again, that Cruz supporters value nothing more than Ted Cruz, and have the IQ of a tomato. Screw the nation, allow Clinton to beat Trump, spend 1.5 days out of 100 campaigning in a luke warm manner for him, and then claim you supported him.
Two days before the election Ted Cruz attended and spoke at three Trump rallies. At the first rally, he refused to say the name Donald Trump.
He refused to endorse him at the convention, and now calls himself a support of Trump.
Ted and his supporters couldn’t be honest with the nation, and they can’t even be honest with themselves.
Thought we would forget didn’t you. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!
(Cue the the democrat trolls disguised as FReepers, to now begin sewing discord and division with their incessant Cruz bashing, in 3..2...1😠)
Your irrational, vitriolic rants continue to confirm my opinion of Cruz-haters. I’m sure Chuck Schumer thanks you for your support.
