Theo, look.

I get it. I get that you’re upset and sad and frustrated that Cruz lost. And you don’t like it when it seems that people are rubbing it in.

I ask that you take a moment to look at it from the other side. It sure as heck looks to me like Cruz is still trying to trash Mr. Trump and all his supporters from his remarks lately and bitterly lashing out at people around him. In point of fact, it looks very much like he’s trying to throw the election to Hillary or at least sulking by refusing his support.

You’d have been furious if Cruz won and Trump refused to support him and continued to make snarky comments for weeks after. Can you see it from the other side?

This is an iteresting thing to me. Just to get it iut of the way, I voted for Cruz in the primary, I will vote for Trump in the general. Would I be furious if Cruz had won and Trump not support him? Nope. Modern politicians are great at acting like politicians and when we trick ourselves into believing any of them will behave like gentlemen it is only we that lose. Some may be more honorable than others, but gentlemen, no. Cruz is definitely not the gentleman Regan was, but neither is Trump.

This video specifically is, I believe, nothing more than a thank you to people that campaigned for Cruz. Did you watch it? Did you note the sticker on the laptop that said “Hillary lies”? That is not behaviour of anyone that wants to throw the election to Hillary, it easily could have been edited out.

As I said in a previous post, there are sore winners as well as sore losers. Trump himself seems to be a pretty gracious; some of his supporters not so much. If Cruz’ behavior is preventing a unified party against Hillary, then *some* Trump supporters are doubling down on it by continuing to make some pretty outlandish accusations and comments.

I believe Cruz will come around for the convention, mostly because I find it hard to believe that Jeb would have the guts to say he’s NeverTrump and Cruz wouldn’t. I could be wrong and would admit that Cruz is less honorable than I thought.
