No one put words into his mouth. The only one who sandbagged Cruz was Cruz himself. He did not have the simple decency to endorse his own Party’s candidate for president of the United States against Hillary Clinton. Again, he decided to do that all by himself. He has no one to blame for the reaction but himself. Ted Cruz just ended any hope of higher office, and he will be rather lucky to even be reelected.
I used to like the guy, quite a lot. I proudly voted to put him into office, though I am not so sure that I would even like him to be my Senator anymore.
All this Cruz this is Cruz that is BS, Trump was always at least 2 moves ahead of him. He beat the crap out of Cruz and destroyed him for opposing him.
