Sorry to say but you are talking nonsense. Ted already met with Jeb. Neil Bush was already part of Ted’s team.
And Jeb just made it official with his announcement.
Your comments about some imaginary kkk endorsement are however pure fantasy

Don’t you think Cruz will hold the line against the RINOs? He did before. That’s why they hate him. Obviously they’re jumping on his bandwagon because they fear Trump more, but Cruz has always been uncompromising, hasn’t he?

“What makes me want to puke is the continued snark from the Trump supporters here on FR who have turned on Cruz “

Are we required by some heavenly edict to support him?

He has done far too much to turn people off to him, and merely hiding behind “I’m the true conservative” proclamations doesn’t mean people are just supposed to ignore that stuff.

Agree totally with you. All I was posting was the answer to the question of where did he say that. I took the question of where was it written because I had no concept that it mattered where he was on this planet that meant anything.

“So, what does David Duke’s endorsement of Donald Trump say about Trump?
Does that make him a KKK insider?”

Trump denounced him. However, Cruz did not denounce Jeb, Romney or Graham’s endorsements, nor Beck’s stabbing comment, nor the hit pc against Melania, nor the Chicago thugs/protesters, nor the girl who slapped the police horse in the face in KC............

Cruz is not an insider. He never has been an insider. You’re simply delusional. If you are endorsed by a Martian, does that make you a Martian?

Very well said. As someone else said a few weeks ago, Cruz is Carrie from the horror movie, foolishly believing that suddenly everybody likes her. Then comes the convention/prom.

There is one unbound caucus left in ND, everything else is open or closed primaries. Cruz will get smoked.

Look for lots more eGOP endorsements over the next few weeks. Each one will get great play in the news media. They don’t really want Cruz to win, though. They only want him to the enough delegates so that Trump falls short and they can slot in a real insider as the Republican candidate.

Both Trump or Cruz would have gladly taken this endorsement. Here is why.

To win the general election you need a unified Republican Party. That includes the GOPe wing. Both Cruz and Trump are not liked by that wing. In fact GOPe detests them both, they just detest Trump more.

What this will do is tell the GOPe supporters in upcoming states it is OK to vote for Cruz. Jeb is the beginning. Many more GOPe will come out and not just endorses Cruz but work to get him elected.

Does this matter? If Scott Walker endorses Cruz and Cruz wins Wisconsin, Cruz is in great shape.

In addition my guess is Kasich will soon follow. And the Mailman will deliver even more votes to Cruz.

Cruz the Republican Party great unifier. Who would have thought.

“Can’t wait to hear how Levin handles this...should be fun listening.”

Please let us know, because quite a few have tuned him out over the past couple of years - Levin’s true colors began to come out.

My guess is that he’ll yell and scream and belittle anyone who he can to ‘prove’ he knows what he’s talking about.

Is there still a doubt that Cruz is no longer an ‘outsider’?
Actually, yes, there is more than a doubt. Cruz is an outsider, and the insiders would prefer Trump over Cruz (as they indicated many times before Rubio flamed out). However, Cruz is their best chance for an open convention. This isn’t a sincere endorsement, it’s a last ditch effort to get a brokered convention that can force a true insider on us.

Cruz would make a better president now than Trump - if Cruz could win the nomination and the election. That’s not going to happen, so I’ll be voting for Trump as the most conservative candidate who has a chance. I’ll also be watching Cruz over the next eight years. If Trump wins, Cruz is one of my top contenders to replace him in eight years, depending on how Cruz maintains his conservatism. If an insider (Hillary/Bernie/Kasich) wins, there won’t be a country left in eight years, so it won’t matter what happens other than prayer . . . and preparations for another Civil War.
==

The way things are and will be.

Only chance Cruz has to ever be President in this election or any other is riding Trumps coattails as VP and then in 8 years be the guy. Cruz doesn’t attract moderate voters, can’t win without them.

It’s evident the GoPe is using him now to take out Trump, knowing full well he cannot win FL,OH, or VA. (Why I keep saying a vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary). Also these endorsements from GoPe are evidence of how desperate they are and how genuine a conservative he really is.

But don’t fret, we’re done anyway, we either fast forward to a full blown collectivist state, with Hillary or GoPe candidate or slow ride with any body else(TRump). Demographics say this.

No civil war.
