My Open Letter to Ted Cruz after the NY Primary
Vanity | April 20, 2016 | Jeff Head

An Open Letter to Ted Cruz

Senator Cruz,
April 20, 2016

I wanted to write this letter to you in the hopes that you will get it and be able to read it.

I have been, and am, a supporter and admirer of yours.

You have been a staunch supporter of the constitution, conservative values, and stood (many times alone) against a GOP Establishment that has not kept faith with the conservative base of the party who electe them.

I have supported you from afar as you won offices in TExas, including your stinning victory for the US SEnate. I have supported you through these Presidential primaries and worked in my own area to help yo win Idaho. I have sent money into your campaign.

Now we have reached a stage where things are coming into focus.

I know, as an individual with the will and the stamina and dedication to run for President that you are absolutely convinced of your need to win this race.

However, reality is now showing that mathematically that victory is out of reach through the primaries.

I know you can, and that you seem willing to try and do all in your power to take the fight to the convention and somehow stop Donald Trump from getting the delegates he needs so you can fight him on the convention floor and win the nomination.

As a devout Christian, as an American who loves this nation and the Constitution, I urge you not to do so.

I believe the single worst thing that we could do, that would almost assuredly lead to a Hillary Clinton victory, is to have an ugly convention fight that ends up taking the nomination away from a man who will have earned the lfar largest share of the vote, and who will have also probably come within a hair's breatdth of winning the necessary delegates. Quite frankly, after his New York victory and depending on what happens on April 26th, I believe it very possible, perhaps even likely, that he will get to the delegates necessary before the convention in any case.

I know the GOPe and many who have had the most vile things to say about you are now hoping to use you to stop Donald Trump. Their support fo you is feigned and they will throw you to the curb the instant they can in order to retain their own power...and, in my pwn estimation, they do not care if it means Hillary Clinton being elected to do so.

I have studied your positions and your speeches and I agree with them and support them whole heartidly. But I have also studied the positions that Trump has now put out and the detail. They are very similar to your own senator. I guess the big question is whetrher we believe Donald Trump will actually follow through and implement them.

If he has the right people around him, helping him, showing him how...I believe he will.

Senator Cruz, a raucus, ugly fight at the convention will almost ensure that one or the other large segmnent of the people who voted in the GOP primaries will be very angry and we will lose many of thiir votes in the general, or worse, they will try a 3rd party run.

Either of those scenarios hands the election to Hillary Clinton or the DNC.

As a nation we absolutely CANNOT afford a 3rd Obama term or worse. The impact to the Supreme Court, to foreigh policy, to our financnes, to a continued erosion of moral values, and almost every other ccritical national interest would all be catastophic.

I plead with you sentor, be the voice of reason. Be the uniter.

You are in a unique position (and God has placed you there) to be able to do this at this time. I know it is not the way you or I envisioned you being able to do it. But it is the truth nonetheless.

Should Trump do well on April 26th and then in Indiana, I urge you to meet with Mr. Trump and be willing to set aside pride, war hatchets, and whatever is necessary to come to an accomodation between the two of you that unites the party behind what will be his candidancy.

I know this is a hard thing to consider...but in the interest of this nation I ask that you prayerfully consider this and stnad up and unite the party so we can win in November.

And then work with Mr. Trump to implement all of those good things that both of your candidacies represent, and then trust in God to turn the tide. I know He will...I know that if the policies set forth are impleneted, he will help us turn this nation around, and there is the very strong possibility that we will have 16 years of strong American leadership to do so.

Sincerely, and as a fellow American and brother in Christ,

Jeff Head
Idaho, USA

I won’t vote for a bake-the-cake Rino, on either part of the ticket.

Fine. You don’t like current polls? (Except for when they favor Trump.)

Then pay close attention to the Clinton Machine as they dismantle this political neophyte on everything from his sleazy past, his mob connections and his inane foreign and domestic policies.

Meanwhile a true conservative was kicked to the curb.

No way am I supporting an Ass-Clown like Trump as nominee.

And if he gets the nomination, just look at the BONUS the country gets:
Brawlin’ Cory Lewandowski, as press secretary
Swingin’ Roger Stone as presidential advisor
Paul Manafort, lawyer to the Russian mob, as political director, and
Peter King, RINO-in-chief, as Homeland Security director.

So much to look forward to.

Hey! The Felito win in Texas was a landmark victory.

An awkward kind of landmark, like Goliad, but a landmark all the same.

Don’t forget the 5 Mistresses.

Surely they will get cushy appointments too, right?

If Cruz would actually do this, he would be a hero again in my eyes (many others I would wager). He would make a path for another run for president in 4 or 8 years, older and wiser by then (and maybe have removed the stigma of being a non-born in the USA citizen). Only if he loves the country more than himself will he agree to your earnest request.

Have admired much of what you have placed here on FR over the years but could not be more disappointed in you than I am right now.

Google Trump I’m not with the TeaParty to see his opinion of conservatives on 2010. He will not be picking somebody we support as VP. He has to mine another 5 million RAT votes to win in Nov., and a conservative is not what he wants. I’ve given up on Unity, may as well drop it from my tag.

Perhaps if Donald is man enough to apologize to Ted and Heidi for tapping his minions at the National Enquirer to try and mess with their marriage, it would help?

Maybe apologizing to millions of Cruz supporters for having his new GOPe/Rino/Hack delegate hunter compare them to Nazi's or the Gestapo would help too!

I know, write the same kind of letter to Donny the Democrat Donor and see what his response is.

If you run out of crayons.....Staples still sells them.

FRgards, (your heart is in the right place)

Jedi.

Good letter.

Cruz and Kasich need to realize a pointless convention fight won’t do any one any good.

Our party has chosen Trump to be its presumptive nominee.

Whatever differences people have with him must be set aside for the greater good of defeating Hillary Clinton.

Our country cannot afford a third Obama term. Its that simple.

I understand where the Trump haters are. But they want to throw out the bathwater with the baby.

That cannot be allowed to happen.

I’m an American before I’m a conservative and even before I’m a Republican.

America must always come first. That is why today, I unreservedly back Donald J. Trump for the nomination of our party for President Of The United States Of America.

God Bless America!

Trouble is, there never were any five Cruz mistresses.

The story died for lack of evidence and confirmation.

Dontcha think the Lib media would have gleefully outed all of them if they existed?

I guess the big question is whether we believe Donald Trump will actually follow through and implement them.

This is the trillion dollar question!!! At this point I don't believe it. If he wins and nominates two centrist or liberal supreme court justices then what was the point? If he wins and doesn't 100% stop immigration and deport illegals then what was the point? If he wins and doesn't balance the budget and reduce the debt then what was the point? etc. etc. If Trump picks a rino VP then it becomes very difficult for me to believe.
