Well......tell yourself that.

But to the vast population that paid attention to this primary season......Cruz knowingly misrepresented Trump’s positions on numerous policy areas. Also know as lying to the average man.

If you want a written example: Cruz said Trump is anti-second amendment. He said it several times since March 1 in public speeches, in the present tense. It is true Trump was pre 2002, but around 2006~7 he converted to the pro-gun side. Trump is now pro second amendment and is the only candidate who proposed trying to extend the equal protection act to the second amendment. Very clever, forces the other side to defend. Might end up removing a lot of restrictions such as mag limits, assault rifle bans, CCW, etc. If you doubt me check out his web site.

Did Cruz back off his claim...no he continues to say Trump is like Hillary on the second amendment. That is an open falsehood and a blatant example of bearing false witness.

Now I have pointed this out the Cruz fans and offered to give the reason one would know Trumps conversion is in fact genuine, were any interested. No questions, challenges or curiosity...they did not want nor would they consider the point that their supposed king and hero was a speaker of non truths. (Cruz). It is by such actions a lot of us have been turned off to Cruz. (who is by the way a excellent supporter of the 2nd A.)

Care to challenge that point and insist he is still the anti-gun Trump? Go ahead I dare you, ask me how I know.

Now here is the thing. Most reasonable folks are aware of this pattern with Ted. You can deny it all you want, 55 to 60% of the traditional republicans voters now see him that way. Not...a... compelling.... candidate...ever..again

Cruz needs to mend fences as much as Trump. If he does not bury the hatchet Cruz will have no future...period. If Cruz does not support the candidate...well that is his option but a lot of us will remember it in 4,8, 12, 16 years. He has no future in the new republican party unless he mans up and makes peace with the nominee and supports him. If you need to know what I can help you with that as well, just ask.

Trump folks should not insult Cruz, but Cruz folks should not insult Trump. Realize that you may feel your candidate was treated unfairly but realize the other side might feel the same way, it was a hard battle, Trump fans have their resentments too, though it is easier to let go of them when you won. I understand if you are bitter, I was a Newt supporter in 2012 and it took some time to go with Romney but I did. If you need to not vote for Trump, well conscious must dictate that, but do not expect folks to then come around to your candidate in 4 years, if Cruz does not show a bit of humility and graciousness he will always be known as the candidate who melted down on the Tuesday Primary, not a suitable candidate for dogcatcher.

Something to ponder.
