"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."

Well sure, there’s that angle too.
This whole idea that Trump supporters are now supposed to forgive and forget being called liberals and worse for six months, is comical.
I’ve seen so many lies posted on this forum about Trump, that I’m just sick to death of this Cruz effort.
Conservatives don’t conduct their political activities like this. There is nothing Conservative about how the Crewz act here.
Of course they won’t say they’ll back Trump. Why he’s a Leftist Socialist to them. And you know what, they think the same thing about me.
They are doing their best to trash and burn. They are the GOPe, the RNC, the MSM talking heads, the MSM pundits, the MSM print media, the blog spots and worse.
Me support Crewz after this?
Fat chance.
You know, I was married for over 40 years, and I know when I talked to my late husband, he listened....Heidi being on the CFR and Goldman Sachs board, of course he listens to her...any husband that doesn’t is lying...she jerks his chain to her liking just the same as any other wife does...
It’s a worry about having Cruz, as young as he is and a third year Senator in the White House, my opinion is we need someone who has been around the block a few times to get this cesspool called ‘Washington D.C.’ cleaned out...
Don’t you just love how they are “oh so offended” now that we have been fighting back?
We up with their name-calling for months while patiently posting the truth about Trump.
Now that we are fighting back and posting about their guy they can’t take it and somehow we are the name-calling bad guys.
That CFR connection is eerie.
He says she just joined to provide a dissenting voice.
They both worked for the Bush White House.
She worked under Condoleza who chronically urged Israel to show restraint every time it’s citizen were killed.
I’m not convinced Ted is who folks think he is.
We post facts.
They post lies.
One guy just now is still saying Trump is supporting Single Payer and more gun control.
Nope, these are not Conservatives. They are GOPe plants.
” I do not believe Donald is going to be the president. “
Why, because the RNC is going to cheat and do a “brokered convention” and using back-room negotiations write Trump out of the party??
I’ll vote for Trump instead of such weasels.
That
Won’t
Happen
In
Our
Lifetime
I dunno why. He manages to find a way around answering every other question he’s asked with one of his long winded, convoluted diatribes. Not jabbin you, trisham. Felito Cruz can wish in 1 hand and spit in the other.
Doesn’t every candidate believe that he/she will be president, not Trump? What is wrong with what Cruz said?
I thought Ted decided to put this foolishness behind him. He must not be as brilliant as so many seem to believe if he thinks this is the way to attract Trump supporters in the less and less likely event that Trump somehow becomes non-competitive.
A very dumb thing for any candidate to keep saying. He’s sure not making me more positive toward him should Trump not remain competitive.
You're a hard case, D1.
Texans, who have had a chance to follow his career, are comfortable as cornbread that Ted Cruz is exactly who he appears to be. No more. No less.
If he’s waiting for my vote he’s in real trouble.
Given that Rubio has been exposed as a bald-faced liar, I don't believe there is any risk of Cruz losing to him.
Lol, you don't get to decide how Trump supporters choose to categorize Ted's ongoing foolishness in making this same old statement. And you won't decide who they vote for if Trump somehow becomes non-competitive.
Arrogant, presumptuous bunch of Cruz followers.
I’ve seen how his supporters operate.
Not convinced.
Thank for your home state look though.
Really? Would you expect him to say that Trump will be the nominee?
It's a competition, remember. And competitors expect that they are going to win, not the other guy.
He's supposed to have the common sense to know when it's best to say nothing at all. But he doesn't. If he did, he'd skip repeating the same foolishness and promote his ideas and issues.
Seems to me he is doing a superb job of running his own campaign. Trump/Cruz
I'll support Trump if he's the nominee. But I'm absolutely convinced that Ted Cruz is exactly what this country needs at this point in history.
