Ted Cruz speaks at an event in Cleveland to thank his delegates and volunteers for their support during his 2016 primary run.

"I'll just confess I didn't have the strength to do that and not breakdown," Cruz told supporters. "And we had 50 T.V. cameras there and I tell you, I wasn't going to let those SOBs turn Lyin' Ted into Cryin' Ted."

Would he have been given a time slot if he didn’t endorse the party’s nominee?
I’m sick to death of Cruz. He had so many bamboozled but the primaries showed he wasn’t what he was made up to be. And there is the whole eligibility question.

My hope is that Cruz encourages people to use their vote to keep Hillary out of office.

Weasel words.
Rather like Cruz' weasel behavior.

Ted needs to find one of two things in the next couple hours: integrity, or the door.

I don’t know about the crying, but I heard a distinct drawl when he was speaking somewhere today, a drawl he never had before. Took a lesson from Hillary, I guess.

Yes. It is possible that Cruz will not endorse.
Trump has provided Cruz with a long rope.
We shall soon see what Cruz does with that rope.

Hang himself, or deliver on the pledge to support the nominee.

You don’t want Cruz to encourage people to cast their vote against Hillary? Really?

Anything to keep from saying Trump's name, ehh ?

THAT is the 'weasel' of which I speak, but I'm guessing you already knew that.

If not DJT, just who the hell else do think IS in a position to destroy that evil bitch ?

Seems like a heart-felt speech. I don’t know why anyone would demean Cruz for this talk.

C'mon Theo, your boy is slipping, couldn't he have slipped in a 'raise and energize the Body of Christ' or implored the crowd to 'stand up for Jesus'?

If Lyin'-Cryin' Ted doesn't endorse Trump, that charlatan's political life expectancy can be measured in hours, not days.

So, Heidi had to hang around and do his hugging for him.

He just called every Trump supporter an s.o.b.

“Hidey” - good one!

As a Texan, any chance y’all send Lyin’ Ted packing in his 2018 Senate run?

On FBN, Katy Pavelich just stated NR has a report that Lyin’ Ted will NOT endorse Trump.

So Lyin’ Ted officially joins the Establishment Crony Socialist cabal of Bush, Ka-Sick, Lyin’Ryan, Bitchy McConnell, ChamberofCommerce, et al traitors.

yes but the suspense is going to get a record number of folks to tune in, on a night that normally would be a loss in ratings, as the question of the nomination is resolved, while Trumps acceptance speech is a day way. Without the Cruz drama what would there be but more boring speeches by politicians?

As Cruz met with Trump earlier prior to this speaking gig I would not be surprised if he comes out with an good endorsement. Such an action would set Ted up for later leadership, and leave folks with a good memory of him. He has 20 more years to run, he is only 45, he has had time to think this out.

If he does not endorse and takes a cheap shot at a man who has been magnanimous once the contest was won, well his career is over and I doubt he will even be reelected. Because such a destructive action shows he is a strange and damaged man, one you do not let too near to power.

Cruz should have done that long ago instead of trying to upstage, for himself, a party convention that is not his. The guy is too much all about himself and at least many Americans saw through him and voted against him.

He will never have my support for any national office again.

I don’t understand, why did he hold a rally in Cleveland outside of the convention?

He’s been there awhile. Especially since the Chicago thingy.

I don’t think I have ever seen a pol take defeat worse than TCrux. He should have known when he entered the race that the odds were against anyone prevailing.
