Ted Cruz supporters were alarmed Wednesday at suggestions that he was on the verge of endorsing Donald Trump.
They worry that the Texas senator could squander his brand as a fighter — and goodwill earned among many through his stubborn refusal to back his party's nominee — if he caves with nothing to show for it.
Cruz has held out on the grounds that Trump is insufficiently conservative, and because Trump attacked his wife and father down the stretch of their heated battle for the Republican nomination.
The senator even took the extraordinary step of declining to endorse Trump during a televised, prime time speech delivered from the stage of the New York businessman's own nominating convention.

“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”
Interesting comment, given Cruz’s actions these last months.
Relax and breathe. You said you didn’t know where the leadership stood. My comment was meant to suggest we know where they stood. I think and have encouraged people to contact their congress critters
We are on the same side here
“He made a promise to support, he didn’t take an oath to make an endorsement.”
That’s called quibbling: an instance of the use of ambiguous, prevaricating, or irrelevant language or arguments to evade a point at issue.
But who cares?
What resistance. I have not seen anything that even looks like resistance
And your final statement sounds so Glenn beck it is pathetic
Other than Eric Erickson (who came to Cruz much less enthusiastically than ant-Trump and Beck) can anyone name a single Cruz supporter who cares who Cruz endorses? We former Cruz supporters are into issues, not personalities.
“What sort of “supporter” is it who would prefer their candidate welsh on a pledge to support the Party’s nominee and be a lying weasel, than to step up, honor his pledge, and at least have THAT scrap of honor to stand on if he ever seeks office again. He now has NONE.”

So just what have YOU done??? I mean besides cut down my efforts on an internet forum.
Glenn Beck? Sure whatever...
Don’t reply back to me I don’t need your negativity.
Wow! What a dump... look at post # 7 in that thread: http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,226251.msg1063726.html#msg1063726
His chance of ever getting the nom was once not bad, but now it's not possible.
Were he to endorse Cruz/Pence (without any petulant, snarky comments or whining), it might help Mister Cruz, but it would not unring the awful bell of his disgraceful convention performance.

“Anyone who chooses to put themselves in the way of God in such a manner, without prejudice as to whom addressed.”
You didn’t answer my question simply and directly. I’m not even sure what your reply means, whether it’s directed at me personally, or what.
Forget I even asked.

I can see why many of them got zotted - what a nasty bunch!
You and your bar. I can barely drive to a MD much less a bar. What I wrote is a fact that every officer knows plus most men who have any honor. Cruz is an attorney and he signed the legally binding agreement. You are a smart ass.
I dislike Toxic Ted. A lot. TT isn’t an immediate problem to us. The witch is. We need to deal with the immediate problem.
A nasty bunch that can't just walk away.... they have to disparage Jim and FReepers whenever they get a chance. What a sick bunch.
I haven’t cut down your efforts. Do you even read what is posted? I have already stated what I have and continue to do
You really need to take a deep breath and chill because your anger has confused you
Even if he does he can still ESAD. IMO
Agreed
Ooops, I stuttered.
Hickup.

I agree. His smug performance at the convention sealed his fate.
It will take a whole lot of Atta boys to make up for that giant Oh Crap Moment, when he went out of his way, to smear the nominee.
Talk about being politically deaf.
