Didn’t want him over Trump for president.

Did think he’d make a good vice-president.

Did think he could move on to be president after that.

Did think a Supreme Court appointment might be good after that.

By November of 2015, I realized him being V.P. was not a good idea.

By April of 2016, I wasn’t in favor of him ever holding higher office.

By that same time I didn’t want him on a future SCOTUS roster either.

Even before the convention Ted had shattered my last nerve, as it relates to tolerating him.

His antics with the GOPe moping up on the Caucuses when he couldn’t win elections rubbed me the wrong way.

Him failing to concede and then having his people try to pull fast ones at the convention, rubbed me the wrong way.

Then he refused to back Trump at the Convention, thereby decreasing the mileage Trump would get out of the convention, and increasing the chances of a Clinton win.

From the convention on, he gave one muted endorsement followed by more months of silence.

Several days before the November election, Ted attended three campaign rallies, and refused to even say the name Trump at the first one.

Now Ted may have had grounds for being offended by Trump. I believe Trump had reasons to be offended by Ted too. What I cannot fathom is that Ted would have thrown the election to Clinton to get even. And yet, that’s pretty much what Ted did.

Only by the grace of God, did Trump pull off the squeaker. I know the electoral votes make it seem otherwise, but we were hanging by the skin of our teeth way late in the night on election night.

I can’t help but wonder what Cruz must have been thinking, knowing he could have mustered far more support for Trump than he did.

If Trump had not won, and had lost by the narrowest of an Electoral College margin, how could Ted have reasoned he was not likely the margin of difference.

I was dead wrong about Ted mid 2015. I’m not dead wrong about him today.

He’s the wrong man, at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
