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.

Amen.
Time to think about America as a priority over personal political careers.
Ted Cruz?
Jeb and John Kasich will the Walking Deal politically with a Trump win. Ted better hope he does not join them
Do it Sunday afternoon Ted so it is the story going into Monday before the debate. It would be great pys-ops against Hillary and boost up our side plus it would take the spotlight off Trump on the only day he doesn’t need the spotlight as he will regain it and burn brightly Monday night.
What is a ‘Cruz supporter’ at this point, anyway?
If there are still voters out there who are flying their colors for this worm, and staunchly refusing to vote for Trump, they’ve totally lost all grasp on reality.
Erick Erickson has got to be among the worst of the snowflakes.
I heard him say yesterday that, after talking to a lot of people who know things, he cannot vote for Trump. He just can’t.
Since Lyin’ Ted supported TPP and NO BORDERS for Goldman-Sucks, his only remaining “supporters” have outed themselves as crony socialists...at best.
Hopefully, he will listen.
I’m with you. I don’t believe Cruz can rehabilitate himself now. No one can ever trust him again.
This explains some of the crazy stuff #alwaysCruz supporters have been shouting over the last 12 hours.
Cruz should outline the SCOTUS argument and endorse based on that. It’s plenty of reason.
Anybody can grow, even self centered cry babies.
If growing is happening, it is riding on a spiritual tide. I long suspected that Ted needed to turn loose of the dominionism. God hasn’t handed Christians the whole world on a silver platter, and that sounds like a good thing to me not just because God chooses it, but also because Christians wouldn’t be in any position, the way they are today, to do the right thing with the world if they did get it on a silver platter. Working on the salt and light thing in-house is quite enough challenge for now.
Let’s be prepared to bury a lot of hatchets this season, and no, that doesn’t mean in our past opponents’ backs. That would be the way of, well, self centered cry babies. We should grow, no?
Matthew 5:37
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Possibly. And Trump needs every vote he can get as a hedge against the evildoers who never sleep.
You fight like hell during the game, then shake hands afterwards. I think that Donald Trump understands that. I'm hoping Cruz has gotten over his primary season butthurt and can be a man.
I don’t think much of him as a man. I really view him as sore loser. I read that right now he is 14% down to Rick Perry in the next primary. I lived in Texas. Those people don’t like liars and they do like big baby whiners.
Agree. It’s past time, Senator Cruz. Do it now!
If Teddy does not endorse Trump, he is implicitly endorsing Hillary!.
hell, I’m a devious NYC guy and EVEN I tell my nephews and nieces that your word is EVERYTHING.
Dont EVER Trust someone who breaks it and dont EVER break it yourself.
In the end, it’s all you’ve got.
Wake up, Ted. Be the good man some of us still think you can be.
Let go of the devil of ambition and envy.
Mark “I am voting for him but he really sucks...buy my book... Narcissism and Treachery...Sprite is that you...” Levin will be deeply saddened.
Good one!!
