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.
Poignant.
However... winners don’t vote for losers.
He is playing games and is a lying jerk. If he does come on board he has still done damage that NO real conservative would do if they wanted to prevent a Hillary win. But you are welcome to stick with him just as I will support Trump. At least we are free to our opinions at this point —will change if Cankles wins.
And btw, the reverse is also true. Losers don’t vote for winners. That’s why Ted is having such a difficult decision process.
Not a chance. Unlike the DC congress-critters, I have to work for a living.
So what do you have to say?
There's that name again.
Outstanding!!!
and yet Ted Cruz would have been disgusted with others lack of support had he won.
Kudos for #135, lodi!
There is no question to support Trump,,,,,, just consider Supreme Court appointees!
Man, you really nailed the Cruz-droolers : )
“I see Cruz gave a press availability specifically to stab Trump on the “Mexican” nonsense. How principled and conservative of him.”
No teddy bears for Trump, the big meanie.
¡Viva la Union Americano Norte, y Presidente Raphael Eduardo Cruz!
Loser cRuz has sent me at least FIVE requests to allow him to re-allocate my (long ago) donation to his Prez campaign, to his 2018 Senate re-election campaign.
I told them....not just NO, but H$## NO!! To refund my excess funds, NOW.
They keep asking me, like I’m going to change my mind! LOL.
It IS over for Lyin Ted.

I wonder if there is a class action suit in there to compel him to return the money?
