Cruz inordinately sees himself as Reagan in 1976. He wants to repeat that even to the floor fight and the 1980 coronation and win.

However, the field of battle is different this time. Cruz is not fighting the Establishment Liberals (Ford). Trump is a different animal calling for a different strategy.

Trump may or may not beat Hillary. But Cruz cannot beat Trump without it being a pyric victory. So Ted needs to back off, let Trump win and the chips fall, score some points, and still be the guy all the TRUMP supporters want next time. The only way to do that is to JOIN HANDS.

Cruz should pursue the nomination through the convention Trump is a liberal like Jerry Ford, he Claims he will build a wall, fine that would be nice.

However he hasn’t proposed any entitlement reforms, he has proposed no spending cuts, or getting rid of any government programs, he has proposed a touch and go amnesty. He has proposed continued funding of the “good work” Planned Parenthood does.

Mr Trump’s campaign has been a wrecking ball of personal attacks against many candidates. He should apologize to Cruz if he wants to ask for Cruz’s support he should renounce his vile referencing of Cruz as Lying Ted.

Hold Trump short of 1237 and try to win on a second ballot this is what your supporters want.

I’m not sure if Trump is 1976’s Reagan, or 1964’s Goldwater. I am sure Cruz is neither.

Reagan came to national prominence supporting Goldwater’s 1964 anti-GOP-establishment candidacy. Remember, Reagan’s famous “A Time for Choosing” speech was actually a paid televised commercial for Goldwater’s campaign.

Cruz blew his chance to be to Trump what Reagan was to Goldwater—the future torchbearer of the anti-establishment movement. Instead, Cruz has burned his anti-establishment membership card in a all out effort to have it all NOW.

Very shortsighted on Cruz’s part.

Cruz is not a natural born citizen today, and won’t be next time. And....He has hidden every document that would prove he was ever registered as a U.S. citizen.

That’s hard to support.
