That is why the endorsement of Trump was so troubling because he never showed any interest in a document that EF spent a tremendous time helping to write.
This was not a Cruz vs. Trump issue but rather a power struggle by Ed Martin.
Ed Martin made this issue public.
Phyliss has made comments on the public record also, as well as Mr. Martin.
I appreciate the influence of EF on the party platform, but candidates read it to use for campaign fodder and thereafter it pretty much collects dust with them.
I am inclined to believe in every case, if we follow the money, we find the answers.

@ Post 65 up thread.
Why do you keep blaming Martin, when Phyllis Schlafley herself endorsed Donald Trump?
The Eagle Forum wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Phyllis Schlafley. The idea Martin was some loose cannon and needed to go, flies in the face that he was in full agreement with the Founder of the Eagle Forum.
Schlafley’s daughter and others mutinied and took over. It’s that simple. They wanted to back Ted Cruz, so now the board has been taken over by the Ted Cruz faction, and is now for all intents and purposes Ted Cruz’ operation.
Phylllis Schlafley’s daughter made this an issue, and you damn well know it.
