I heard him say in his speech that he wanted to congratulate Donald Trump for winning the nomination, but I never heard him actually do it.
He's a funny guy, that Cubanadian, so I'm never quite sure what to make of him.
I believe he did at the very start of the speech. Said Trump’s name once and then moved on to speaking about liberty, freedom etc. http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/transcript-ted-cruz-convention-speech
It’s possible to have high principles and no clue what’s going on. This seems to be the hand dealt to Ted Cruz. He may figure it all out by 2024 and be of some use to the nation then, but for now, he’s off on a tan(ed)gent and about to hurtle into outer darkness for eight years.
Like I said elsewhere, this was like D.B. Cooper only without a parachute or cash. Just a jump from the plane into the dark night with the cry “support the constitution” our last point of contact. If Trump is elected, he will swear to uphold the constitution and then he can be judged on whether he has done so, or not, by 2020. Cruz clearly feels either he can’t be elected (and Hillary will violate her oath) or that Trump will violate his oath. Otherwise he would have endorsed. But that’s a severe gamble to take in a nation with an activist Supreme Court that makes it rather difficult for a president to out-violate them.
