1) he is not trustworthy, having broken his word to support Trump twice. - I agree with you on this.

2) he is underhanded, having screwed Carson AND Rubio with similar e-mails - This is stupid. During a heated primary campaign his team played rough politics. Boo Hoo.

3) his judgment is not sound, having employed a porn star in his ads - This is probably the stupidest thing on your list. Do you think he personally did CIA background checks on every actor in every commercial, found that this girl was in a porn and said, "I don't care about that. Let's put her in anyway! She's too important to let go."

4) his temperament is questionable, given his support for a PAC that spread semi-nude pics of Trump’s wife - When did he "support" the PAC? He didn't. Candidates don't support PACs. It is the other way around. PACs support candidates. And this PAC was only tangentially supporting Cruz. Someone that worked there used to work for a PAC that used to support Fiorina. How you can turn that into Cruz "supporting" the PAC is beyond me.

5) his rationality is questionable given his hanging out with Beck and his behavior at the convention - a guy with 7 million listeners per week wants to endorse and promote him and you think it was "irrational" to accept? His convention speech wasn't any less rational than Trump criticizing Khan. It was just bad political judgement.

6) his ambition is unchecked, as seen by his appearance at the “RedState” meeting later this month. - I don't even know what you mean by this. Because he attends a conservative meeting, his ambition is "unchecked"???? I don't get it. Is he supposed to never go to another meeting because he got beat by Trump?

Look, we get it. You don't like Cruz. Fine. Just don't go trying to justify your irrational hatred by pointing out ridiculous reasons. I am disappointed he let his personal animosity toward Trump get in the way of the future of the country. I understand that it would have been hard to endorse a grown man who personally made fun of your wife's looks and accused your father of being involved with the JFK assassination but for the good of the country and to keep his word, he should have swallowed his pride for a few minutes and endorsed him during his speech. All of this other stuff you listed is just stupid, petty bullshit and hurts your argument.

Cruz’ campaign manager, Roe, is the one who bought the rights to the nude Melania pic. Did Cruz rebuke Roe for getting into the gutter?
