But will Trump actually follow through? Based on his past and recent comments it’s highly likely he will run to the left.

As is a Trump nomination causing a Hillary win, asinine.

No, this has nothing to do with whatever enigmatic ethos Texans lay claim to that somehow no one else can understand. What specifically has Cruz done that benefits Texans?

If you’re to be taken seriously, proof reading and spellcheck is your friend.
Just saying......

Nope. The surest way to elect Hillary this November is to run a divisive phony like Trump.

With sky high negatives, he will drive democrats to the polls to hold their noses and vote for Hillary.

Meanwhile, real conservatives — who would never in a million years countenance giving $ to Hillary or Harry Reid for senate (like Trump did) — will sit on our hands this fall. Might pull the lever for Trump reluctantly, but that’s about it. No money, no time, no phone calls, no volunteer efforts.

Cruz, on the other hand, is the real deal. It’s amazing that a real conservative has been able to run the political gauntlet to this point, and we shouldn’t squander this opportunity.,

I hope he will find a way to come together with Trump and align and unite the two of their GOP voting bases.

Together in an original field of 17, have garnered almost 65% of the vote (and since it became a 4 man race it has been over 805), and who together have garnered 70% of the delegates.

The two of them are showing definitively that the people want, are voting for, and demand, a non-GOPe nominee to take over the party and bring it back to the ideals that the people elected them to represent.

If they simply do that...I predict the GOP (with no “e” wins a landslide in November.

I agree with you. Now is not the time to fight, now is the time to unite.

Trump can't beat Hillary.

"Senator Cruz for SCOTUS!"

Puh-leeze....Senator Cruz NOT for SCOTUS!

He and his globalist wife have a tad too many liberal connections for me to see him as a Supreme...ever!

Very well done. I think your open letter speaks to a lot of common sense and speaks to a duty to country over personal ambition.

I saw both men's speeches last night and I think already the tone is changing for the better. Cruz was gracious in defeat and Trump was magnanimous in victory. Which for Trump, is saying a lot. Neither slung barbs at the other and that's a good start.

I really hope that they come to terms with each other because united, they will be able to box the GOPe out of the equation. Together, they will completely control the convention and the Republican Party.

The GOP establishment is hell bent on keeping them mortal enemies as it allows them a glimmer of hope that they can slip their own non-Trump guy in (and it won't be Cruz).

Ted Cruz is only 44 years old. He pretty much still has his entire life ahead of him. He should step aside for Trump today and keep himself in position for future opportunities to serve the nation and the conservative cause.

Thanks.

I wrote this down quickly. The one I actually send into to the Cruz campaign will be cleaned up.

I appreciate your critique and advise.

And folks like you will work hard to make it happen no doubt. I expect you will not vote for the presidential position if Trump is the GOP nominee. And therein is exposed what you really are all about, despite shouting about your ‘purity’. Vichy France comes to mind ...

Here’s something Cruz has done for Texans: has blocked a helluva lot of liberal Obama appointees from taking US District Court seats in TX. And forced Obama to nominate a few moderate/conservatives to the bench instead just to get them through with Cruz’s consent.

Looks at recent polls.

Oh you mean polls conducted in April, 2016? I guess that would matter if the national election were being held this month.

But it isn't. It's still a full 6 months away. And a lot can happen in that time. Where was Bernie Sanders 6 months ago?

Whether or not I vote for Trump or not is not the issue.

If Trump does beat out a true conservative, the Republican base will have to once again “hold our nose and vote”.

And we all know from 2008 and 2012 how that turned out.

If it makes you feel good to blame me for not voting for Trump (”Hillary thanks your for your support”) then fine. Feel free.
