All Aboard: Ted Cruz Officially Joins the Trump Train

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has officially joined the Donald Trump campaign and has already hit the trail with Gov. Mike Pence in Iowa and Michigan.

After a heated primary season for the Republican Party, Trump and Cruz came out of the Republican National Convention with a less-than-friendly relationship.

"Sen. Cruz will join Gov. Pence in Iowa and Michigan today," Pence's press secretary Marc Lotter told USA TODAY. "Having Sen Cruz join the governor today underscores what he has been saying for the past few weeks and we are seeing happen across the country - it is time for Republicans to come home."

Folks who’ve been on the Trump Train, since day one, have remained in steadfast prayer for Trump and this nation. As have those who climbed aboard, once Trump became the nominee.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Trump doesn’t need Cruzbots. That’s why anybody who doesn’t join in the circular firing squad gets shot down here. When a whole body of people isn’t needed they can be shot down and gloated over. The luxury of gloating. ‘Cuz Trump has this in the bag, even considering that the game is rigged as Trump says it is, even considering the way Obama has hedged his bets to get away with fraud. That’s why the fine folks here have the luxury of telling anybody who supports or supported Cruz to go f*** off. They have the luxury of reminding everybody of just how stinky the primary was, and that it’s not going to get better if they have any say in the matter.

Luxurious times. Who needs the stinkin’ Cruz votes anyway, eh?

Do I really need the /s?

Human nature stinks. God help us all!

At this point, I don’t think we need the ‘NeverTrumpers’. They missed the train a long time ago - and actually convinced a lot of others to get ON.

[DoughtyOne]

I don’t have a problem with that.

If he had been able to say the word “Trump” at his first stop today, I wouldn’t be making the points I have been.

[going hot]

I have family that will probably never vote for Trump because of what they’ve seen his supporters do

Says more about your family members than even you imagine.

Here’s Lyin’ Ted ducking the Trump brand on the trail in Iowa today.

The Senate, in their fig leaf resolution for McCain, cited the fact that he had TWO citizen parents to declare him a natural born citizen, even though he was born in Panama.

Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
According to this standard the recently deceased King of Thailand was eligible, he was born in Cambridge MA.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), Haley (no citizen parents), George P. Bush (one citizen parent) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.

The only problem is that he has a huge tendency to lie.

So Cruz secretly voted for Hillary, then announced that he voted for Trump, just before he boarded Trump's plane to campaign with Mike Pence.

Whew.

[DoughtyOne]

I can understand that. I became a Republican when I was 18.

It was 1969, and I had seen what the Left was doing and I couldn’t stomach the anti-American movement.

I have remained loyal to the party in recent years hoping tey would move back to the Right. Then they outed themselves this year.

It’s with sadness that I said what I did.

Your take on things is close to mine. I want a return to those values too.

In a few years it won’t matter to me any longer, but I don’t wish the world future Americans will have to deal with if we don’t get this nation back on track.

So I say tuned in and voice what I think makes sense.

Take care. Good luck to you.

My hope was that Trump and Cruz would work together to use the “natural born” issue to expose Obama’s document fraud.

Sure, but Cruz is doing the same thing. Hiding his documents.

[DoughtyOne]

Perhaps you can remind me what visible things Ted has been doing to help the campaign until today.

“Won’t the real test be how many Cruz holds out here and nationwide proclaim their sudden conversion on the road to Damascus?”

They can hold their noses, like most of us have done since 1988.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I wouldn’t expect a German to understand the Constitution.

[Jamestown1630]

God willing, we will rejoice together on Tuesday night.

Or: We’ll just hunker down and keep TRYing ;-)

[txhurl]

Nor Ted Cruz. Guy’s a grandstander.

“Thank you. I know many do not want to hear it.”

Too bad, so sad. They absolutely must hear it, until it sinks in.

[Karl Spooner]

For money, for GOP money, Cruz will lie. He has more than proven that he is a liar. He is a day late and a dollar short. Trust him at your own peril.
