Cruz’s Broken Pledge

And a weird sop to the racial-grievance industry

CLEVELAND—Ted Cruz did the Republican Party no favors last night when he pointedly refused to endorse GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, breaking a promise he and other rival candidates made at the outset of the primary campaign last year.

Cruz also made what appeared to be some kind of overture to race baiters by mentioning aspiring cop-killer Alton Sterling who was recently shot dead by Baton Rouge police during an altercation. It seemed very odd, but maybe in retrospect it shouldn’t. After all, Cruz went along with leftists and a few other GOPers by baselessly smearing Trump as a racist after he urged the deportation of millions of illegal aliens.

Thank you for posting this. I forgot about the bizarre Alton Sterling reference. Another calculated move by Cruz to harm the GOP candidate, he says he is for “law and order.”

He pulled a Hellery there talking out of both cavities though he perfected that himself in the Senate.

It really does not matter here. If he did endorse trump, some people here would still call him a lying ted. So well, there us no net change. Trump does not need ted to win.

Ted has shown how very unstable he is. Ted needs to get back to his whores.

"Wow, Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge! I saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway. No big deal!"

This morning Bret Baier played a clip of Cruz at one of the debates saying that he would support whomever the party nominates.

This morning, that clip makes Cruz the untrustworthy one.

Ted wore religion but his campaign showed it was all a façade and now is crumbled to the ground.

"There are six things that the LORD strongly dislikes, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers." — Proverbs 6:16–19

Even if Trump loses big.

Precedent is Goldwater in 1964. The GOPe'ers Scranton and Rockefeller, who abandoned Goldwater, thereby killed their chances to ever get a GOP presidential nomination.

While Nixon and Reagan, who stuck by Goldwater, went on to the presidency.
