I have the opposite hunch, Ted Cruz will endorse Donald Trump and do so with as much conviction as he can summon up. He will do this because he knows that the nation has to go one way or the other at this point in time and there are no second chances. I don’t know what’s in his mind or heart going into this opportunity to speak, but he may not have totally decided. He should do so. Take a minute to imagine America after four more years of Democrat rule. In some ways Hillary Clinton could be worse than Obama. I realize that is a very difficult thing to imagine. Ted Cruz can have a future in national politics, but only if he endorses Trump and assists to whatever extent is possible in getting Trump elected. I think one Trump term will naturally lead to another, health being the only constraint, so if Ted Cruz really wants to be president, he should think about continuing on with the gains made under Trump, in 2024. And he can only appear like a credible successor if he co-operates and does not appear to be a plotter as Mitt Romney appears to be.

Personally, I am not convinced that any of the Plotting Ted narrative holds water. This is partly conjecture based on a lack of endorsement. But maybe the plan for some time has been to create a bit of suspense and offer what Trump supporters will see as a welcome surprise. And frankly, I can’t imagine Cruz being invited to speak on any other basis.

So we shall see, and someone will be right, others wrong in varying degrees, about this, but whatever happens, I am behind Donald Trump until his course is run.

God bless the United States of America.

My gut says that you are wrong, but IF TRAITOR TEDDY endorses Trump, it will be as weak as weak can be and with a WINK! Teddy wants Hillary to win, so that everyone will be SO angry, they will vote for him.

Teddy is STUPID and doesn't realize that short of a military coup, which won't happen, Hillary will serve two terms, unless she dies in office.

Cruz is NOT a "team player" and there IS a very good reason why so many people have loathed him, all of his conniving little lie filled life.

I've been upset at Cruz for not endorsing, nor fulfilling his pledge. Actually, on occasion, I've been over the top angry.

I think you make a good point, this may have been cleverly scripted; if he does come out and give a blockbuster endorsement, it will be the final nail in the #nevertrump idiocy. It also makes sense for the political future of Cruz.

I hope you are right, we shall see tonight.
