In major blow to Ted Cruz, Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama endorses Donald Trump for GOP nomination

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), whose hard-line conservative stances on immigration and trade have made him a favorite of the party’s base, endorsed Donald Trump's White House bid during a joint appearance here in his home state Sunday.

"Politicians have promised for 30 years to fix illegal immigration. Have they done it? Donald Trump will do it," Sessions said at the Madison City Schools Stadium, where thousands gathered to hear Trump speak. "I've told Donald Trump this isn’t a campaign, this is a movement."

Bingo! I’m so sick and tired of “I’ve led the fight” or “I’ve been fighting day and night” or “I’ll always be fighting” or “It was me who fought each and every day”..... Every person who ever got in the ring with Joe Louis “fought” but still got their butts kicked.

Well, if you don’t have a road to the White House, I guess a green house would do.

Heh heh heh...

No, they’ll wholeheartedly support Cruz’s endorsement of “The Amnesty Kid” just to not support Trump....my, my, how fickle they are.

Time for Republicans to unite and focus on the real enemy: Hillary Clinton and her gang.

No, i will not go that far but when sessions needs support from non-donnie supporters for something in the senate he may find it lacking.

I see a senate and house seized on many projects between republicans and not with democrats. That is, if donnie gets by hillary in november.

May have happened if Trump hadn’t gone after Cruz’s character.

Cruz even got trumped by Rubio, I guess he sort of knows it’s over.

Is that how Cruz treats all of his friends?

The slimy rattle snake.

I'm sure Senator Sessions is happy to know how Ted and his supporters really feel about him. Thanks for sharing.

Now Trump needs to go after that little pip-squeak, heal bitter Rubio who, as we all now is the RNC’s poster child. Trump will find a way to squash that little bug and send him back to Florida to sell used cars.

Cruz exposed his own character...or lack thereof.

Cruz has only himself to blame.
