Trump was extremely ugly to Cruz, largely for no good reason or truthfulness ( there are some exceptions).

I would expect a long time is needed to heal those injuries if they can ever be healed.

I am not particularly optimistic.

Yet the ugly stuff if I am not mistaken in regards to Cruz started when he lied about Dr. Ben Carson was dropping out in Iowa. So he shot his own two feet.

Cruz was no choir boy either, and his final meltdown prior to the Indiana primary where he got his clock cleaned did him no good. The unfortunate truth is, everything Trump has done in this campaign has been open and straight forward, he has called it the way he saw it and let the chips fall where they may.

Cruz on the other hand, early on established a record of being a sneaky snake, slithering around with the likes of that maniac Glenn Beck and the equally odorous Jeff Roe.

If Cruz entertains the idea of a continuing career in politics, he better get on board that Trump train, and soon.

Well, at least Ted Cruz stayed above the fray and didn't act 10x worse than Trump ever could on his worst day.

Having Hillary in the White House won't assuage Cruz supporters bitterness.

You get over it and you support the actual nominee. That's how it works.

Vote Trump!

Who wants them healed. The only word to describe Cruz is: "SNAKE"

He is a disgusting, vile, creature who should be mopping floors under urinals in an airport men's room.

“Trump was extremely ugly to Cruz, largely for no good reason or truthfulness”

Trump used a highly effective negative branding technique to dispatch his opponents one by one in the primary race. What he was doing was demonstrating how you win in politics, and what he would do to Hillary Clinton if nominated.

Cruz and his supporters are taking it too personally. The Democrats do not hold their punches. They accuse Republicans of the most vile things, including racism, contempt for the poor and throwing grandmothers off the cliff in their wheelchairs. In 1964, with the famous “daisies” attack ad, they successfully branded Goldwater as a warmonger that would blow up the world. This is what we’re up against.

Anyone who has doubted Trump’s ability to win should by now be questioning their assessment of his political skills. He may not be able to win with the grace of Ronald Reagan, but at the time Reagan was being dismissed and ridiculed as well.

I hope that Cruz supporters will be able to rise above their hurt feelings and refocus on what is at stake in November.

Apparently you have amnesia. The primary brawl was a two way deal. Cruz was just as “ugly” as Trump. Even worse actually. Trump never personally attacked Cruz supporters like Cruz shamefully did to Trumpers on more than one occasion.

Frankly, I can see no reason for the millions of Trump “low info” supporters to ever support Ted Cruz again. That will include 5 million Texans in November, BTW.
