Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Tuesday he is still considering whether to support his former rival Donald Trump for president.
"Like many other voters, I'm watching and listening and assessing what he says and what he does and I think that's what millions of voters are doing and that's the way the Democratic process is meant to operate," Cruz said, according to MSNBC.
"I think voters are going to do that from now right until Election Day, and I'm giving it time and watching and assessing."
Cruz, who dropped his presidential bid last month, feuded with the presumptive GOP nominee several times during his campaign. Before dropping out of the race, Cruz called Trump an "utterly amoral" pathological liar, narcissist and bully.
Last month, the Texas senator told reporters he had plenty of time to make a decision on whether or not to back Trump.
Cruz told MSNBC that he is focused on "defending conservative principles," noting he thinks the party's platform should reflect those principles.
"I am fighting for those principles now in the United States Senate. I had hoped to fight for them and implement those principles from the White House," he said.
"It turned out that was not the way the election went and so I'm back here in the Senate working hard to fight for those very same principles."
He said the American people are looking for a leader who will "get Washington off of our backs, that will bring back jobs and economic growth, that will defend the Constitution and that will keep this country safe."
"And I hope that's what we end up with," Cruz said.
Trump has come under fire over comments he made questioning whether an Indiana-born federal judge might be biased against him because of his Mexican heritage. Republican leaders have condemned Trump's remarks.
We are not so stupid to believe their assertions of doing this to ‘save’ the Republican Party or the country. They are doing this strictly to protect their influence and power in DC. As long as they are safe in their DC ivory towers, the country could burn and they would not care one bit.
I’m done “assessing” Mr. Cruz. I know exactly what he is now, and I regret ever having supported him.
I have a better one: “Cruz ASSenING around”....
Sounds just like Trump.
Three straight election cycles where holding one’s nose while voting for the Republican candidate is growing very tiring. Trump’s certainly better than Hillary but it seems that holding the candidate accountable is only allowed for others, not for Trump.
Oh ok....I guess I don’t know this guy...another ‘never trump’ person?
...is an open borders, Mexicano sympathizing POS.
And a major Romneybot.
Michael Medved is a “conservative” talk radio host and movie reviewer who used to be pleasant to listen to, but he is a sell out for illegal immigrants and has really gone over the top opposing Trump.
Today’s show was how terrific the judge is.
Who is this Ted person they write of?
OH NO...another one of those...Thanks... ;0)
I have them filtered as spam
Now that’s just plain funny
BUH BYE Ted Cruz.
To heck with Cruz and all the GOP. After Trump I’ll never vote gop again. Especially with all these people trying to make Trump lose and fighting the will of the people.
If it’s so very overwhelming for you, you should find another place to play.
Nobody holds Trump accountable? Have you been listening to the news lately?
Thanks for the heads up on the zot.
