Senator Cruz, I have been a longtime admirer of yours. Being myself a native Texan, who now lives in Idaho with my wife (with our five kids and eleven grandkids), I have watched and applauded your career there in Texas, in the US Senate, and now while running for President. We supported you heavily here in Idaho, sending people to your site and explaining away many of the false narrative attacks on you. In Idaho, we gave you a large victory in the Primaries, as you are well aware. Now I want to do some straight talking and give you my best advice. As a patriotic American, as a brother in Christ, and as a supporter of yours., and as a supporter of yours. It is not going to be what you want to hear...but I believe it is what you need to hear and what will be best for our country. There are many members of the GOP Establishment who now, magically, when you are the last viable candidate outside of Donald Trump standing, who want to all of a sudden come to your campaign's aide and help you win. They will offer you money, they will raise money for you, and they will endorse you. I would not listen to or trust them as far as I could throw them. They will attempt to use you and then throw you to the crub the first chance they get. These people would rather have a Hillary Clinton Presidency, with all of the disastrous consequences it would have on our country, and to the Supreme Court, than have either you or Donald Trump as president. They are wholly committed to their own power, as you are well aware. They cannot be emboldened or enabled any longer...in any way. PLEASE, please, do not go one step down their primrose path. Now here is the hard part. Like it or not, Donald Trump has clearly tapped into the anger and frustration that so many feel (including myself and almost everyone I know) with the GOP establishment. He has been able to suck most the air out of this cycles campaign. Despite his brash mannerisms, and his past, he has put forth plans that many people are accepting...and quite frankly, most of them are very similar to your own. The key with Donald Trump is whether or not he will do them in the long run. If nominated, we need to make sure he will continue to push them. If elected we need to make sure he will do them. You, Senator Cruz can be the catalyst to making sure it happens. I know you want to win it this time...heck, I want you to win it this time. But to now push it in order to try and MAKE that happen will be disastrous. I can see this...and I hope you will open your heart to that possibility as well. At this stage, Trump is either going to get the delegates he needs to win the nomination outright, or he is going to come within a hundred or so of doing so. The GOPe is hoping he can be held just short so that they then can themselves become closely involved in the outcome. But the American people are voting overwhelmingly to not have them involved at all. You are going to come in second with a substantial number of delegates. Given the dynamics of this GOP Primary, quite frankly it will be amazing and a minor miracle that your message will have gotten through all of the squelch to put you in this position. I Urge you Senator, with all my heart, that as soon as it is clear that your total number of delegates and Trump's total number of delegates together make it clear that that the voters in this nation are overwhelmingly choosing non-establishment candidates for the GOP...make a deal with Trump. Get your candidates pledged to him if he will make you the VP candidate on both on this elections presidential ticket, and on a second presidential ticket should he run for it. If you do this...and Senator, only you CAN do this...you will accomplish all of the following.
Senator Cruz, you can make this happen. I wanted you to win this time...but I do not believe it is possible at this point. But America can still win. And in the process you can be positioned to become our President later. I believe this is the best course...I urge you, and I am praying to God in Heaven, that you will seriously consider this course of action. Yours, as a patriotic American and brother in Christ,
Jeff Head

Please let me associate myself with everything you just said.
In the coming days and with the decisions he makes, Cruz is going to prove one way or the other if he is part of the professional politician “establishment” class or not. It’s his choice ..... get co-opted/paid off by and/or collude with the GOPe to keep their crony, corrupt political pocket-lining structure in place that is enabling/assisting Obama/Dems/Progs/Libs to destroy America OR do what is in America’s best interests. I have my opinion on the matter thus far, but I’m willing to wait a short while longer and see which way he goes.
Not only a very strong senator now, but as VP would be the Head of the Senate. I wholeheartedly want a President Cruz, and I still pray that happens, but with that said, together Trump and Cruz would satisfy so many patriotic Americans. They, and We, can turn the country around. Cruz would be in a very good position to run as President again in 2020. We must mend fences and unite. FREEDOM!
There should be one more condition or stipulation should Cruz release his delegates to Trump for the VP spot.
Cruz gets to select ALL the upcoming Supreme Court vacancies during a Trump presidency.
Great letter Jeff. I pray the Senator from the great state of Texas seriously considers it.
True that...if Trump this really were Trump's game plan it's stupid. He's spending millions and millions of dollars to "help" Hillary get elected? They didn't need Trump's help. They've been pretty successful at getting either a Republican or Democrat candidate elected who always take the county in the direction they want!
I would let this play out. Seward had triple the number of delegates than Lincoln on the first ballot. 3-4 months before the convention is an eternity considering the news cycle, the number of primaries remaining and the fickleness of the American public.
So Ted doesn’t have a problem taking money from Soros. Kasich doesn’t either.
I do not expect Trump to fetter himself with a VP that he has not chosen for the job he wants them to do. I do not see the upside of taking Cruz on other than shortening the primary battle for Trump.
I guess I am saying that IMHO the chasm is too wide for Christian or Religious Right conservatives to bridge in order to make a Faustian deal with a completely secular pragmatist who has no history of representing the issues that we know God is VERY concerned with.
There is no chance for Cruz going forward. Kasich chipping away at the delegate count to insure a brokered convention. They will never give it to Trump or Cruz. So Trump and Cruz will have to be one step ahead. I would rather see them fight together than each other.
BINGO!
DT listens only to himself. It is way past time for him to listen to experts in fields other than hotels, golf courses and casinos.
“Get your candidates pledged to him if he will make you the VP candidate on both on this elections presidential ticket, and on a second presidential ticket should he run for it.”
I think you meant to say “Get your delegates pledged to him”. Other than then that it is a great idea and letter.
Rafael cares about himself. He does not care what you think. He will sell out (already has) to the GOPe and he’ll lose to Hillary after throwing away ALL our votes for Trump with absolutely no hesitation of sidelining the winner and those who voted for him.
Just like he used his real name to head up the “latino review’ at Harvard, he is using YOU.
I agree with what you say entirely except for real concern about Cruz’s globalism and his fast talk on immigration. Frankly, globalism is so dangerous I have a difficult time understanding how a Christian can even think about supporting it. And Cruz was my first choice initially.
“
Everything you THINK Trump is promising you is as real as Trumps hair”
Great! Because THAT is his hair!
Ted’s Hair is CANADIAN/CUBAN
All truth!
The GOP is finished and we will not see a conservative president in my lifetime.
Prophet of doom or dimwit? Frankly Scarlett... remaining comments self censored.
You are right on. Beware of Teddy’s wife. She and he are one. Check out this YouTube video on the New World Order, of which both of them are a part of.
