Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will endorse Wednesday one of his political disciples, Ted Cruz, giving the Lone State senator his highest-ranking political endorsement thus far in the presidential race.
Abbott will formally back Cruz at an event Wednesday at 1 p.m. in Houston, campaign officials said, just six days before what is expected to be a competitive race with Donald Trump in Texas. Although not unexpected, the nod from Abbott is the clearest sign yet that the Texas Republican establishment is backing their freshman senator in his presidential ambitions.
"After 8 years of relentless attacks on our values from this White House, it's our duty as Texas conservatives to support a leader we can trust to restore our values and move this country forward," Abbott said in a video message out Wednesday. "That's why I'm supporting Ted Cruz for president."

So far, prominent Texans current and former governor have endorsed Cruz.
Wonder where Senator John Cornyn is? Likely is too busy partying with his buddies Chuckie Schumer and Harry Reid to care.

Why do Donald Trump "maniac supporters" applaud EVERYTHING that The Donald say or does ?
The response of Trump supporters DANGEROUSLY mirrors The Clintons.
When accused of anything, Hillary always says it's just "The Right Wing Conspiracy".
Always.
When Donald Trump is asked anything (beside just how GREAT he is) ...
Donald Trump and his oft-rapid "almost Brownshirt" supporters ...
say something like "they don't like me", "this guy's a loser", "this guy is retardewd", "this guy's not a Christian" ... blah-blah-blah ...
Almost Always.
I (at one time) posted many great pictures (like Trump as Washington with a smoking gattling gun) and complimentary posts about Donald Trump at Facebook and Free Republic.
Even as a Ted Cruz supporter.
The strategic problem that Donald Trump's "quasi-brownshirts" have is that you guys NEVER QUESTION Donald Trump.
Donald Trump threatens to (illegally) beat the $hit out of a rally protester ... and you LOVE it.
Donald Trump claims to me able to (illegally) MURDER someone, ... and you LOVE it.
Donald Trump calls Dr. Ben Carson a murderous psycho ... and you LOVE it.
Donald Trump calls Ted Cruz a "pussy" (vagina, in the most derogative sense) ... and you LOVE it.
Where does it all end ?
I'll tell you ... just read where Napoleon and Hitler got their @sses handed to them because they saw themselves a "mini-gods" and invaded Russia.
Donald Trump (God bless him for some of his GREAT ideas) is headed for his own WATERLOO ...
if he keeps his "bravo-sierra" up.
If you are really a fan of Donald Trump, then perhaps you can invite Trump to "put a Brooklyn sock in his mouth".
Good luck with that.
Whom the Gods Destroy ... they first make MAD (crazy) ...

Sweet! Here’s hoping the Texas pol endorsements of Ted Cruz help him as much as the the South Carolina pol endorsements helped Marco Rubio!

Greg Abbott is no Nikki Haley, if that’s what you’re trying to say.

Quit whining, it’s unbecoming.

Not much choice with $30 million of Texas money already going down the drain with Cruz, not to mention the penalty for betting against the home team.

Abbott was Cruz’s mentor. Try doing some research.

Trump will probably mock Abbot for being in a wheelchair.

Abbott is a good man but the South Politicans are worthless
Trey Gowdy over promised everything
Nikki Haley went from tea party to party W****
Linda Graham nothing to say
Tim Scott just sits there and won't back up the GOP on the Supreme Court nominee as racist.
To: scooby321

Abbot is not remotely Haley, Gowdy, or Graham.
No comparison.
