They talk about Cruz returning to the senate as though he hadn't been there for a while.
Surely Cruz was carrying out his senatorial duties during his campaign. Wasn't he?

Nothing sucks more than being Ted.
He spewed greem pea soup on his way out.
Liberal soup, that gives you the diarreas for 4 days.

If he has violated that public pledge, what pledges can we expect him to honor?

Cruz is being a self-serving douchebag.
If he were honest about his goals to support “free-market principles and constitutional liberties” it wouldn’t be difficult to get Trump on the same page (which he basically is already).
To: SamAdams76
Apparently he wasn’t carrying out his senatorial duties. No votes since Feb.
In a just world, he’d be docked salary for the time he wasn’t there.
To: maggief
Sad to see.
He has a legitimate right to negotiate (speaking spot, platform items, etc.) but drawing it out is poor judgment.
Get a deal and get on board quickly.

Unless I’ve missed something, Ted’s only suspended his campaign and won’t endorse Trump because Ted still hopes to be the nominee.

Cruz sure is working hard to get that V.P. slot!
/s
Darned good sport, that Cruz!
(that said, being a Cruz guy....I feel kind of embarrassed by his and Trump’s behavior, but so far...Trump has been something of a gracious winner. btw, I thought all 17 candidates had pledged to support whoever ended up as winner)
And Hillary pledged to put out a 30 minute “chat” for $250,000. Not sure what the unmentioned frosting is for that cake.

Ted was hoping by some miracle he would win Nebraska. Oh well.

I would suspect that in 2018 people running for his seat will include Dewhurst and George P. Bush, neither one will be supported by our household. Cruz does have some work to do after this failed presidential run and we do hope and pray he realizes this and gets his stuff back together again. He’s the first decent Senator Texas has had in a long time. Hope he doesn’t blow it.

You'd think reading some posts here that no one has ever hung onto their delegates in case something came up or to pursue their points making it to the platform. And apparently suspend to some here means to hand over the delegates, apologize profusely, and then commit seppuku as soon as it's convenient. Well, to borrow a meme, some here appear to be Sore Winnerman and unable to win with grace. Stay classy Trump fans, most of us will vote against Hillary rather than stay home. We may have clothespins on, but we'll vote for Trump after he is nominated.

I was not a Cruz fan but leave the guy alone. He will come around. He got beat up pretty good. This is a media game to create division.
