That’s the world you will wake up to on Nov. 9 … a world where your constitutional rights, your state and local governments, and your country’s military would all be in the hands of a single angry liberal.
At this year’s GOP convention, Ted Cruz famously urged the delegates — and all Republicans: “If you love our country, and love our children as much as you do, stand, and speak, and vote your conscience. Vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom, and to be faithful to the constitution.” Many observers saw this statement as an implied attack on Donald Trump, and Cruz was booed vigorously as a result. But let’s take Sen. Cruz seriously. In the 2016 election, what should a conservative do who loves his or her children and his or her country? What does your conscience suggest?
Some have sought to avoid the issue by saying that one vote doesn’t matter in an election as large as ours. Even if that were true, it shouldn’t matter to a person of good conscience. Your vote is important not only because of its practical outcome, but because it is how you, as a free citizen, participate in the life if your country. Simply abdicating your responsibility, and passing the buck to your fellow Americans, is not the act of a good conscience.
Others seek to avoid the issue by saying that Hillary Clinton will win no matter what anyone says or does. But that’s plainly not true. According to Nate Silver’s “polls-plus” analysis, Donald Trump has a 30.9 percent chance of winning the election. As of today, Silver projects Trump to win almost 237 electoral votes — far more than Mitt Romney (who won 206). Furthermore,

“let’s take Sen. Cruz seriously.”
The avalanche has started, it’s too late to take the pebbles seriously.
You cannot rehabilitate a liar. Good riddance to Lyn’ Ted.
Nothing more than a political move by Cruz.
Telling you to vote for Trump without explicitly endorsing him.
If Trump looses then in 2020 when Cruz runs he didn’t ever endorse Trump.
That’s the way I see it.
Its a good article...everyone should give Lifezette a hit and read it.
Tead Cruz...
...has revealed he is too stupid for me to care if he’s on our side or not.
There’s also something called the “hundredth monkey” effect.
No, “vote your conscience,” coming from that narcissistic creep, did not mean “vote for Donald Trump.” It meant “vote for ME because I’m the ONLY real conservative!”. He’d tried that “conscience” schtick earlier in the primaries and it didn’t work then, either.
Mitt, George, Yeb and Ted
Anybody here, seen our old friend Ted ...
Can you tell me where he’s gone?
Have you posters read the article? It’s quite good; not what your assuming. Laura Ingraham for Press Secretary!
Cruz isn’t a serious person, so that’s her first mistake.
The avalanche has started, it’s too late to take the pebbles seriously.
An almost Koshism.
Modified slightly.. demonstrating that I can’t improve on him.
Does anyone take Turd Cruz seriously anymore?
It’s difficult to take seriously a man who pretends to revere the Constitution while plotting to violate it.
Ted Cruz, born in Canada to a Cuban father is not a natural born citizen.
He was never/will never be eligible to be President.
Does the Constitution cover Goldman Sachs?
And don’t forget his father was the trigger man in the JFK assassination. </sarc>
ANYTHING that has Cruz connected to it, and I did read the article, sounded like his way of saying support Trump but he didn’t say it, has a worthless piece of time to it...
I thought better of Laura Ingham than to take anything to do with Cruz other than throw it in the trash where he belongs...
