Title: Ted Cruz Seeks to Mend Fences with Republican Elites.

Title says it all. So is Ted Tea Party or GOPe?

Cruz is now in bed with the GOPe all the way.

No, I do not think Cruz has any illusions about the GOPe and their plans to throw him to the Curb if they can.

I do think Ted believes he can play them even as they seek to use him to stop Trump.

In the end, any raucous, severely divided convention where a candidate who will be as far in the lead at Trump will be will and who then is somehow denied the nomination, will hopelessly split the party.

That seems to be fine with the GOPe.

I do not think it is with Ted...but I believe that he will play into their hands if he tries to use them.

The only path toward clear victory is for Cruz to make peace with Trump, get behind that campaign and unite the Anti-GOPe movement solidly.

I have written to him and said as much too.

His political career is over. He’s burned all his bridges. Insiders and Outsiders have no respect for him.

Well I guess so much for bowing out gracefully. This won't end well.

Don’t waste your time Cruz. They hate you already. They will never support you. And they’ll stab you in the back. You committed the ultimate sin of sticking to your guns “shutting down” the government.

It starts by kissing that spot they marked off on the left cheek, Teddy. You’ve already done the right one.

Shameful.

Cruz is letting his personal ambition and hatred for Mr. Trump prevail.

He rails against the Washington Cartels but now wants to work with them.
Cruz sounds like a desperate man. Willing to sell his soul to the Devils.

Ted has spent his career as a government employee. He is currently behaving like a petulant child

McConnell was seen with a hammer and a bunch of glass bottles he was smashing out in the Senate parking lot.

When asked about what he was doing, McConnell replied that he was preparing the way for Cruz to crawl over broken glass to get McConnell to consider endorsing him.

Well! Well! Well! The Cruzers can't be happy about ole Ted getting cozy with the GOPe now. Or, maybe, blindly, they don't care.

Not surprised at all. I turned in my Ted Cruz fan club card weeks and weeks ago. If Donald doesn’t make Ted his b*itch then Hillary sure will.

GOP has to know that the man who draws 10s of thousands of supporters to stand in line for hours for a rally often in terrible weather will draw more support down ticket than the guy who gets a couple of dozen people to attend a rally.

Cruz hates Trump more than he loves America. He loves himself more than America. What a total waste of potential!

Ted “Turd in the punch bowl” Cruz needs to give it up. Someone bring out the hook. It’s over.

The last sentence of the article:

Ohio Gov. John Kasich and representatives of Trump’s campaign will also be in Cleveland this week to make their pitch to RNC members.

Wasn’t Ken Cuccinelli implicated in accepting gifts; but, was allowed to pay them back without legal consequences? They were actually after the governor of Virginia-—did Ken drop a dime on Bob?

And Saul Anuzis of Coast-to-Coast fame is a major link to talk radio advertising. Major GOPe connections.
