Raul Labrador, Idaho representative and a leader of the House Freedom Caucus, is endorsing Ted Cruz for president, sources close to the campaign confirm. Labrador had previously thrown his weight behind Kentucky senator Rand Paul, serving as his Western States Chairman. Candidates began vying for Labrador's endorsement as soon as Paul left the race following a less-than-stellar showing in the Iowa caucuses.

This is a significant endorsement.
The people say, “No more beltway.” The pols say, “We protect our own.”
The people have chosen- Trump.
Go Cruz! Ha- made it in before the Trumpbots with their snarky snide comments.
This would be the exact same Freedom Caucus that installed Ryan as Speaker.
Of course he endorsed Cruz!
Not quite before the Trumpbots, I see. You have to be fast.
The Freedom Caucus had a limited set of choices. At the time, Ryan seemed the best of a bad lot.
Doesn’t he understand that Don Trump is the only one who can make the trains run on time and keep the cheap Asian doodads from landing on Wal-Mart shelves?
And your ingenious comments that relate to the article rather than your own snide remarks are?
Bull. Ryan and Cruz started working together long before that.
Nothing will ever make Amtrak run on time, much less Trump. I’ve spent the past year working on a paradigm for the privatization of Amtrak, and it has caused me to tear my hair out. (Not that I had much to begin with.)
Hey now, you’re underselling their accomplishments! Keep in mind their mission statement:
“The House Freedom Caucus gives a voice to countless Americans who feel that Washington does not represent them. We support open, accountable and limited government, the Constitution and the rule of law, and policies that promote the liberty, safety and prosperity of all Americans.”
See? You know they’re great because they like liberty and prosperity and stuff. This is by no means intended to placate you into accepting the status quo. The caucus has FREEDOM right there in the name! They have saved this Republic! With words!
You prove my point. Go on a Trump thread and praise the crude one.
Hahahahahahaaaaaa! What a laugher! As is typical of the Teddy Bares, they have nothing but lies, slime and slither ( and snarky snide remarks) to support the Teddy Bare.
Poor Teddy Bares! Next week will be tough for them!
Wow, you are deranged.
Here, I’ll prove my own about Cruz and Ryan.
Putting Congress in Charge on Trade
Fast track authority will give lawmakers more say over agreements that are vital for economic growth.
By PAUL RYAN And TED CRUZ

The United States is making headway on two historic trade agreements, one with 11 countries on the Pacific Rim and another with Americaâs friends in Europe. These two agreements alone would mean greater access to a billion customers for American manufacturers, farmers and ranchers.
Gotta tell you this is not good news.
Labrador is a Cheap Labor Express stooge.
The article relates to the Freedom Caucus.
I’m pointing out the connection between that caucus and Ryan’s rise to speaker - along with Sen Cruz.
These are facts. Not fiction. Truth.
Ignore it all you want.
Fantastic! This endorsement is so liberating! The Freedom Caucus got rid of John Boehner and gave us Paul Ryan who can sell us out without even crying!
Now I don’t have to worry if Trump is going to peak at 42%!
I know that Ted Cruz will be able to pull this off and save America from being made great again!
Q: Who was Ted Cruz legal counsel for prior to being elected to the Senate?
A: John Boehner
“Outsider” that Senator. Yessir.
