I didn’t expect Cruz to endorse Trump and him failing to do so is not unprecedented.
Obviously the crowd wanted to hear it, but they didn’t.
Will it have an impact? Short term, Cruz will be in the dog house certainly, but honestly I thought his chances or re-election were slim after some of his actions in the primary. But 2018 is 2 years away, and who knows where politics will be by then.
Personally I think the press whipped this into more of a big deal that it was at the end of the day, the conservative press especially. Yes it would have been nice to have had an endorsement, but was it necessary? Not really.
Reagan never endorsed Ford in 76. I do think its a bad short term move for Cruz.. whether it will be a bad long term move will be seen in 18.
Oh please. Ted Cruz is finished politically. America saw tonight a bitter sore loser. Not gonna fly with many voters anymore. Cruz put himself before the party and country. He’s a goner!
Reagan did endorse Ford in 76. Another Freeper posted it.
People expected Cruz to endorse Trump because he signed a pledge to endorse the nominee! Will the lack of endorsement hurt Trump? No. Will the failure to endorse hurt Cruz? Yes.
