I was a die hard Cruzer until the very bitter end as my posting history will attest.

After last night, I neither support or criticize him. I don’t support him at this time because in my opinion he should have endorsed Trump. He didn’t have to say anything more than “I endorse Donald Trump because...” and then listed a litany of sins the Beast has committed, a list that wouldn’t have been that difficult to compose.

But I don’t criticize him any further because as I stated this morning on the thread announcing his refusal to endorse Trump, he will go down in history as the biggest sore loser ever or a political genius for forseeing a horrible Trump presidency.

I am comfortable, and have a clear conscience, voting for Donald Trump, as there is no other reasonable choice at this time. I do not hold out much expectation for him, other than he must expel as many illegals as possible, and at least try to build the wall. Everything else he promised I recognize as campaign bravado which is precisely worthless. I am not deluded; I do not believe him to be the next savior of conservatism, as some clearly believe.

Truthfully, I do honestly believe Trump is more conservative than he initially appeared, and he won’t damage the country if elected, but he will not further the cause of conservatism much if elected. Anyone who disagrees is in for a rude awakening after Jan 21.

So I let history be Ted Cruz’s judge now. Because I see no reason to totally abandon him until proven conclusively wrong with historical fact. If the fact is Trump is as I described above (or hopefully better) Ted Cruz is dead to me. If not, if Trump proves to be worse, as clearly Ted Cruz believes, I suspect Trump’s strongest advocates around here will conveniently disappear.
