Morton Blackwell, the conservative icon who founded the Leadership Institute in 1979 and is a longtime Republican National Committeeman representing Virginia, has endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for president.

The announcement came in the form of a letter from Blackwell, addressed to fellow conservatives, in an email sent out Friday by the Cuccinelli Compass, a regular grassroots update provided by former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and paid for by the Liberty Now PAC.

"In the past several weeks, the presidential contest has clarified. I have decided to endorse Ted Cruz and to urge other serious conservatives to join me in supporting Cruz," Blackwell wrote....

Another one.

I’d love to see Cruz on the Supreme Court.

I think endorsements don't matter this time around. People understand how dire the
times, and only the strongest person on the most important issues can win. Following
someone else's lead will count for nothing in these times of catastrophe. If a person is
thought to be the tough one to sweep away the political crap, then that person will be
elected. Is that person Cruz? I don't think so. Is that person Trump? Undoubtedly. And I
say this not as a cheerleader, but as an observer.

And I say it. The people want a pit bull who’s bigger, stronger, and better than ever before. That I can tell you.

Bttt

Ted Cruz is strong and trust worthy American. Trump is a loose cannon and should not even be considered. As President? God help us to elect Ted Cruz because we need a president who will uphold the constitution and bring this country around. Trump is a megalomaniac in search of power and money, He is an evil man.

Congratulations

Only January 11 and you’ve already won stupidest post of the year.

THIS IS YUUUGE!

According to some posters, only recent conservative convert Trump is a real conservative. Endorsements of Cruz by longtime, real conservatives do not count.

The former Clinton apologist, fund raiser, and ("Hillary'd make a great president") Clinton supporter is apparently a very deeply committed conservative, they say.

Cruz has agreed to make Trump his press secretary.

[cynwoody]

I’d love to see Cruz on the Supreme Court.

I agree. Starting in 2025.

[SmokingJoe]

You will see him in the White House instead.

[SmokingJoe]

Endorsements very much matter. That is why Ted Cruz shot to the top in Iowa right after he got the endorsements of Steve King and all the other powerful conservatives in Iowa.

[SmokingJoe]

Excellent post.

[Guenevere]

An American made, freedom loving one!

[Axeslinger]

What?!? A trumpeter coming onto a Cruz thread casting aspersions? Who’d a thunk it?

Now, run along to the nearest Trump thread and get all offended and put out when a Cruzer comes along and does the same thing. Gotta keep that hypocrisy rolling, dontcha know!

[Jim Noble]

should not even be considered

Oh, OK then.

[deport]

ICON endorsement.... okay

"Trayvon Martin's mother endorses Hillary Clinton for president"

Maybe you're right that endorsements do matter. This will bring to her BLM voters in hordes & mobs.
