Er, no.
Trump does not need Cruz. Cruz’s supporters will either back Trump or back Cankles. That’s the choice. There is no other.
Cruz is one of the few principled conservatives to make a serious run for the presidency.
IIRC, his UN-principled actions far outweighed his principled actions during the campaign. Stunningly. (Principled is as principled does.) He was/is a narcissistic, smarmy, self-serving snake in the grass with zero principles.
BTW, you should see the hornet’s nest I stirred up on Twitter when I nicknamed Bill Kristol “Bill Kristallnacht.” Wow. John Podhoretz called me a “filty pig.” LOL.
Cruz? Never heard of him.

Gee - can’t imagine why anyone would be insulted about using a Nazi anti-Jewish riot as a way to insult a Jewish guy would be troubling? Just my free advice, but I think you need to do some apologizing.
Insulting Jews with Nazi references is really not funny.
If Cruz was so shrewd, why is he again sitting on a back bench in the senate annoying others with his dramatic pauses?
I thought we were here to support Trump. Didn't a dictum come down or am I mistaken?
Politically speaking, I think Cruz is beyond redemption.
Trump needs Cruz to get with the program. That’s all.
Er, no. If Kristallnacht is intending to elect Cankles, he is closer to a Nazi and any “Nazi” reference in the term, because he is encouraging the destruction of Jews.
Course, nothing new: the leadership of the USSR was heavily Jewish.
May, might, could and similar bs verbs, mean the author/authors are posing their chicken scratching as a real article.
“He loves the constitution and should be a Supreme Judge.”
Would/could he even get a single vote in the Senate to confirm him as a Supreme?
If he loved the Constitution so much, he would know what ‘Natural Born Citizen’ meant....
From Politifact:
“Spokespersons for Trumps campaign and the RNC told PolitiFact Florida that all of the GOP candidates signed a pledge, but they wouldnt answer additional questions.
The pledge came up after Trumps comments at the first GOP debate on Aug. 6, when Trump said he wouldnt rule out a third-party run.
The pledge reads:
I (name) affirm that if I do not win the 2016 Republican nomination for president of the United States I will endorse the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is. I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party.
The one-page document included spots for signatures from RNC chairman Reince Priebus and the candidate. Trump held a press conference at Trump Tower in Manhattan on Sept. 3 to announce he had signed the pledge (which was mistakenly dated Aug. 3, although Trump later tweeted a corrected copy).”
Sore loosers Yeb Bush and Felito Cruz both broke their word.
This is a good example of why I hate the GOP-e: they’re liars.
On the contrary, it’s the Trump cadre that continues to spew calumny about an opponent that’s been beaten, but why?
Common sense should lead you to try to convince conservatives to support Trump, rather than alienating them. Maybe you’re still trying to convince yourself you made the right choice.
“Trump needs Cruz to get with the program. Thats all.”
Precisely. bigbob. Trump won. That’s life in the grown-up world. Cruz doesn’t have to like it. It is what it is.
For any reality-challenged, bunker-dwelling, self-styled, die-hard, `real conservative’ Cruz nevertrumpers who cling to the delusion that their guy is owed some sort of consolation prize in Cleveland because Trump “needs” him there:
Cruz needs to pull up his Big Boy pants and get with the program. We’re past the stage of saying, “Give us this or that, stop being mean to us or we’ll take our ball and go home ... “.
Most of us, I suspect, are weary of Cruz Zu Zu’s complaining of bruised petals.
The only thing Trump needs now is the support of anyone who doesn’t want to see (at least) four more years of Obama.
This isn’t rocket surgery.
"Now I'm the most repugnant pariah in the history of the Republican Party."
...Cruz is a brilliant strategist, a long-term player.

He lost me right there
I think that Cruz will come around, but if he doesn’t, not many people will notice.
