Cruz is nothing more than a bad footnote in this election. A first term junior senator, a serial liar, and a Canadian natural born citizen. The losers are all of the people that ignored the Constitution and their conservative principles to support him.
I think it is time to lighten up on Mr. Cruz.
He ran a tough race. Now he stood down. Mr. Trump said today, Cruz ran a very tough race.
I hope the two of them work things out, and that Mr. Trump finds a good position for Mr. Cruz.
“Cruz is nothing more than a bad footnote in this election.”
I totally agree. Cruz did his best to stay relevant in the GOP with his “Sea to Shining Sea” speech but it won’t be good enough. I hate to say this, but Ted was not the most likable candidate in the bunch. In his speech, he acted like the party will have to deal with his “wing” going forward.
Nothing could be further from the truth. There are already GOP politicians crafting their platform to take the best from Trump and the best from Cruz, and create a hybrid candidate for the future. Ted can’t change; he would lose his base; and he can’t grow his base because Trump stole the rest of the party.
It would not surprise me to see Ted lose his Senate seat.
Yep, that’s how you Trump types unite the party and win elections!

Spoken like a true Trump supporter. Good job!
He was a junior senator who tried to force McConnell to fight after they tried to co-opt him as they did Rubio. And what, exactly did he lie about, and as for the Canadian thing, that is a pure Trump. Take a fact and then spin it like a scandalmonger. Ever notice how far Trump got with the Obama birth thing? As soon as it failed to get him attention, he dropped it. We will see how far such tactics get him as the media closes ranks to protect the only politician in the country less deserving of the Presidency. We will see how his supporters like the boring Trump.
Reno89519, regarding your language in your post — is your “character” incapable of ending your attacks on Ted Cruz and his supporters (who, in case you didn’t know, are mostly hard-core constitutional conservatives and patriots) and uniting with them to defeat the “RATS and to take over effective control of the Republican Party?
Seriously, Cruz gave a very classy “suspension” speech tonight and Trump reciprocated with some kind words. Can you at least TRY to do things in that spirit moving forward on FR?

Really? Trump won and you're still trying to alienate Cruz supporters? It's about time that those of us who voted for Trump (as I did a week ago today) acted like adults.
This is not a difficult concept: Personal insults directed at Cruz or at his voters do not make it more likely for the 30% of republican voters who preferred Cruz to vote Trump in November. That conduct makes it more likely for Hillary to win. Please give it some thought and start acting like a gracious winner - even if it's an act.
