Senior Senate Republicans are calling on Sen. Ted Cruz to rebuild his strained relationships with his colleagues and apologize to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell before the party establishment considers consolidating behind his presidential bid.
Cruz has increasingly called for Republicans to unify behind his candidacy in order to take down front-runner Donald Trump. But in interviews Tuesday with CNN, it's clear Cruz's fellow GOP senators are not willing to do that, at least not yet.
Republican senators said that Cruz must return to Capitol Hill and make the case directly to his colleagues to help ease long-festering tensions. And a large number of Republicans said the fence-mending starts with this: Apologizing to McConnell for calling him a liar last year on the floor of the Senate.
That message was personally delivered by fellow Texan and McConnell's chief deputy, Sen. John Cornyn, who spoke with Cruz by phone after the candidate won their home state's primary earlier this month.

I suspect your disappointment is more with whom you have been told Ted Cruz is than who he actually is. Campaigns are like that and the negative usually wins. You have a big “I told you so” moment coming if I am wrong.
Ted Booger Goldman Sachs is toast!
That is a sure fire way to kill your chances.
Ted’s lust for power will lead him to crawl back to McConnell
and apogize.
Better he teams up with Trump and stomps on McConnell.
I suspect your disappointment is more with whom you have been told Ted Cruz is than who he actually is
No it more with whom I had been told Ted Cruz was vs who I actually observed these last 6 months.... I was very disappointed in who I saw these last few months verses what I expected
is Ted going to go Luke or Anakin Skywalker?
You might be right. Be well.
Forget it.
McConnell is a liar. Period.
If he’ll look at things the way they are he’ll see the gopE is afraid of HIM. So, they say apologize and we’ll support you. He could use the fear of Trump to his benefit.
But, he hangs out with Beck so I doubt he’s smart enough to understand.
“See, Rafael (his real name, not Ted) sold his soul to the GOPe devils several weeks ago,”
Yup. Cruz is the Devil, Lucifer, Beelzebub, a slimy, sleazy, nasty, lying, Cuban, Canadian, Goldman Sachs globalist who beats his harpy wife using his spawn children as baseball bats. The Biggest Liar in Eternity, making Hillary look like a Saint!
Thank God for The Donald, born of virgin birth, who has never supported Democrats or sold his soul to make a quick buck. Unfortunately, only True Believers can see the perfection of The Donald, which glows like a beacon of goodness throughout the universe.
The GOP Senators are mostly whores, of that there is no doubt. It will be interesting to see how everything plays out in the next few days. This is the best primary season I can remember. I was out of the country most of 1980, so I did not get to catch much of that one except what I could read in S&S.
Mark Twain wrote an apology along the lines of: I am sorry that you have such a small sized pea brain that you cannot understand ...
But I could not find it.
But I did find that Twain called out some missionaries to China — and he was not well received.
“When, however, Twain ... mercilessly exposed the vandalism of the missionaries in China, when he showed that they had looted the palaces and despoiled the temples, and then sold their booty; he was pounced upon by the whole clergymanic body. He was reviled, he was insulted in a most Christianly way, he was called a liar, a rough, uneducated person, a defamer of good men, a boor, and various other things. Had he treated all the actions of our black coated Huns in China in an abstract way, he could have received forgiveness. It was only when he held the Rev. Ament up as the chief of a band of thieves that he transgressed, and closed forever the wellsprings of mercy”
In the modern vernacular: Screw You Mitch and senate Rinos.
This will be good!
He sold out. The bill is due.
Bow to your rino goper uniparty overlords.
#22 so says the resident expert at talking out their backside.
Since last fall his plan as to try to pickup the non Trump support as the field narrowed down hru the primaries.
That has been reported for months
But hay as with most things posted about Senator Cruz by the Trump Republican Guard its not the facts but the smear that counts.
