"The media always wants to turn things into a food fight," Cruz said on WZFG-AM 1100 radio. "The Washington establishment, there's nothing they would like more than seeing Donald Trump and me battling it out in a cage match. And I'm not interested in giving them what they want, I'm sorry to disappoint them. "
"I like Donald Trump," he said. "I'm glad he's running. I do not believe Donald is going to be the president. But he has excited a whole lot of people and I want every one of Donald Trump's supporters to remain energized and to show up and vote in November 2016 and that's how we're gonna beat Hillary Clinton and win the general election."

Agree.
Trump might also one term it given his age. Cruz could then take the next two terms and retire to the U.S. Supreme Court.
I’m okay with Ben Carson as Surgeon General. Christie as AG just to shore up all the voters. Make sure they come out to vote.
This may be accurate or inaccurate, but it’s how Cruz reads the tea leaves.
It’s not some kind of attack, as the Trumpkins would make it out to be.
Fiorina as DHS
Agree. What’s he suppose to say, “I’m going to lose”. rofl. Of course not, stupid thinking.
Agreed. Saying the others won’t win and that they will is what a candidate is supposed to be doing.
So, Trump has excited voters and he won’t win because????? We’re supposed to be excited by Trump, but really vote for Cruz? SMH - what kind of crazy thinking is this?
You’re gonna have to disavow amnesty and free trade if you want that, Ted.
Dear mr. Cruz,
By virtue of the title of “senator” in front of your name, you have been found as part and parcel of the Washington bacon-wrapped shrimp club, and therefore, attached to the problem called Congress, by your being seated in it, as is mr. Rubio.
No, mr. Cruz, to attempt to portray yourself as a Pied Piper luring those of us who support Mr. Trump to come follow you, is futile.
“I do not believe Donald is going to be the president. “
Sure he does. Cruz is at least as bright or brighter than me, Rush, BOR and Kraut. All of whom pretty much realized on Tuesday evening that Trump has closed the deal. He will be the nominee of the Republican Party and likely the next President of the United States. Even Vlad Putin has made that astute observation.
At this point Cruz is running for VP or AG. That’s going to be a good thing.
Bobby Jindal turned education around in LA.
Palin Energy
Tim Scott VP????
Oh the horror, Cruz doesn’t believe Trump will be president. That sure is offensive for another candidate running for president to say.
I don’t either..... I think when the voting actually happens in the primaries, Trump will start loosing states, and its going to get ugly.
Despite polls show Trump at some points leading Ted 3 to 1, and always at least 2 and change to one, Ted has not discerned that Trump won’t be the nominee, and Ted needs Trump’s supporters.
Ted, I don’t expect you to give up, but this is just childish.
I’ve got a new suggestion Ted.
Lets not keep score anymore. It makes some kids feel so bad...
Isn't that up to the voters, Ted?
He was on a radio show, whose host probably asked him a question about this issue. He had to answer, although not necessarily as he did.
I can’t see why so few here seem to understand this... Candidates always have to talk like THEY are going to win, so of course Cruz would say this, sheesh..
Go ahead, flame me. If Trump even gets close to actually becoming President, some freak will go after him. There is NO way the liberal, Godless, muslim, illegal immigrant crowd will let him take office, no matter how many bodies they have to pile up. Hide and watch, wait and see.
I’m going to insult you the voters and I want you to vote for me. - Ted Cruz
"I like Donald Trump," he said. "I'm glad he's running. I do not believe Donald is {I am} going to be the president. But he has excited a whole lot of people and I want every one of Donald Trump's supporters to remain energized and to show up and vote {for me} in November 2016
I love ya Ted but gonna have to stick with the Trumpster for now.
Trumpkins. How childish, but typical of your group.
