I don’t understand all the hateful attitudes toward Cruz either since the primary is effectively over.
He has one of the most conservative voting records in the senate.
I know some would say he was being opportunistic, but he stood up to oppose Obamacare when almost no one else did.
The GOPe criticized Cruz during the government shutdown...but afterwards the republicans gained seats.
If you believe behind the scenes stories, Cruz helped get Boehner out as speaker...I tend to believe it considering Boehner called Cruz “lucifer in the flesh”.
He helped defend the 2nd Ammendment in a Supreme Court case.
I don’t care if he is opportunistic as long as he defends conservative values.
I know people point out 2-3 votes...but overall he is one of the top 2-3 senators currently serving.

My guess is Cruz will at some point come out publicly and support Trump.
We can’t have Hillary and Cruz knows that.
Trump in his own way complimented Cruz when he called him “one helluva competitor”.
I would hope that the disparaging of Cruz here would cease soon.

Ted Cruz is the one prolonging it. His behavior is just totally narcissistic at this point. And he did lie blatantly about Trump's positions. IMHO, Ted Cruz truly ran an unprincipled campaign, joined with the GOPe, and was Machiavellian in the extreme.

And Cruz says he has no regrets? He's delusional.

Ted Cruz is in a really weird place right now, and most Americans can see that. He's damaging his brand.

No congratulations for Trump for winning Indiana, not to mention the nomination?

Just no grace at all from Ted Cruz towards Donald Trump. It's shameful.

I would love for Ted Cruz to run again for national office in 2020 as Prime Minister of Canada.

He deserves the negative backlash. He ran a very negative campaign and was in bed with #NeverTrump organizations spending millions of dollars on false advertising attacks against Donald Trump. He is a dishonest deceiver who is ineligible to hold the office of the presidency.

His operatives stole the election in Maine for him by fraud.
His operatives tricked voters & shamed voters in Iowa to win.
His operatives (4 state senators) cancelled the Colorado primary for him.
His operatives reduced the Wyoming caucus down to .003% of the voters.
His operatives poach majority delegates in states where he lost in 3rd place.
His operatives trick & deceive victories in marginal minimal vote caucus states.

He lies about his opponents and completely distorts their views and opinions.
He lies about his family background and has hidden his records from us.

There is nothing to like. I hope that he lives a long healthy life in Canada. He would prefer the reoccupation of the Clintons because he feels it favors his chances for 2020.
