Cruz dropped out at the right time. Time to let bygones be bygones and get after the Hildabeast, IMO.

Can't resist a cheap shot?

Oh please.

Let it go. Most of us who supported Cruz are getting in line behind Trump. Winners can afford to be gracious.

The first of many hurtful things that were said of Ted Cruz ought to be admitted to in and of themselves to bear little resemblance to truth.

The assertion that “Lyin” Ted Cruz is among the first that are better discarded, as there never was much basis for that accusation. In the heat of sharp debate, many extraneous and meaningless charges are hurled, which no doubt come from the heart, but have no source or rationalization. Is Ted Cruz a liar? No more than a goodly portion of all other humanity, and certainly not to the degree of being “pathological”. Some small things he may have remembered wrongly, or explained in an effort to paint himself in a somewhat better light, but what person has not been guilty of that at one time or another?

Essentially, Ted Cruz embodies all the better parts of human nature, not the least of which a point of view that supports the more classic vision of “conservative”, a word bantered about much recently, to the degree its meaning is badly diluted. Limited government, fiscal responsibility and good stewardship of power entrusted, then relinquished when it is time for the new younger generation to step in their turn, with the same admonitions to be trustworthy stewards, and not to pervert and rape the system.

That other persons who style themselves to be “Americans” do not or will not recognize these attributes in Ted Cruz is an indictment of how little America means to them. “Americans in name only”, only bearing that title because of accident of birth, and not by conviction, have become one of the serious problems of the times. Bit by bit it has become, first, of less and less consequence and finally some sort of perverse virtue, fashionable to point and mock and deny all the set of American ideals that stand behind the flag and the pledge of allegiance to that flag.

Shame on those who spit upon the flag, and those who spit upon Tex Cruz and the set of principles for which he stands. Senator Cruz is perhaps a much more ethical person than some few have made him out to be.

Really? Trump won and you're still trying to alienate Cruz supporters? It's about time that those of us who voted for Trump (as I did a week ago today) acted like adults.

This is not a difficult concept: Personal insults directed at Cruz or at his voters do not make it more likely for the 30% of republican voters who preferred Cruz to vote Trump in November. That conduct makes it more likely for Hillary to win. Please give it some thought and start acting like a gracious winner - even if it's an act.

Your cheap shot is endemic of why there is a never for Trump movement.

I would advise you to let it go, or your attitude will become as infectious as the campaign itself was. The only result would be Trump losing to Hillary.

A classless act.

Let’s drop the it, and team up to take down the left before they finish off what remains of this once great nation.

Real conservatives are watching and this is not a way to get their support in November.

- Cruz is a globalist by word and deed.
- Reagan slapped more tariffs than any modern president.
- The word tariff stuck in Cruz's throat.
- Cruz tried to cloak his open borders and globalist record by hiding behind religion.

EXACTOMUNDO!

Lyin' Ted & Heidi have always been Bushie Establishmentarians with a direct connection to the Goldman-Sachs NO BORDERS NAU.

We just completed Step 1 of our hostile takeover of the GOP from the Establishmentarians.

To allow any Establishmentarians like Lyin' Ted & Heidi back into any position of power would be suicide and defeat our original goal.
