Ted Cruz Refuses to Endorse Paul Ryan for Congress
Breitbart ^ | 8/5/2016 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 08/05/2016 5:12:40 PM PDT by orchestra

JANESVILLE, Wisconsin — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a former GOP presidential candidate who won this state over current GOP nominee Donald Trump back during the primaries, is not backing House Speaker Paul Ryan’s re-election during his primary against Republican businessman Paul Nehlen at this point.

Cruz’s team, over the course of several emails on Friday, told Breitbart News the Senator would not at this time back Ryan for re-election to the U.S. Congress. It’s worth noting, though, that according to Cruz’s team Ryan has not asked Cruz for his endorsement. Cruz also refused to endorse Donald Trump for president, despite a primetime speaking slot at the Republican National Convention.

“Sen. Cruz likes and respects Paul Ryan,” Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told Breitbart News. “He considers endorsements when asked, and in this case a request wasn’t made.”

Another example of refusing to be a team player. No wonder he is so unliked.

Cruz is like a bad "Lone Ranger".

Won't do for anyone.

And the cr** he pulled by naming his VP with no chance at Prez in sight.....how embarrassing for her.....and dumb...

She'll never get a crack at anything.

Cruz has really jumped the shark. Sharknado for certain!

If he did, it’s because he is trying to unite this useless sh*t stain party behind him, but it isn’t likely going to work.

The ‘stopped clock’ Cruz isn’t running for President. If McQuueg and Ryan win their primaries he’s got to work with these guys.

And I expect these clowns to quit sniping at Trump by following the dingbats at CNN and others every other day. They better play ball with Trump and to keep their traps closed if they have nothing good to say.

Go back about 15 minutes in the show. He was very clear about it, you couldn’t miss it if you were listening.

I'm sorry.....But you have to bring the party together....You'll have to work together.

Trump is doing the right thing. Supporting the Republican candidates.

Now that you mention Trump (who, it is reported, will endorse Ryan), how might Trump do this endorsion?

“I will gladly endorse Speaker Ryan if he will accept the endorsement”?

or

“Seeing that Rep. Tim Huelskamp lost, which was blamed on My endorsement, Speaker Ryan might not want my endorsement. However, I will wholeheartedly endorse him, for the sake of unity and party cooperation which is my first priority.”

They want to compromise him.

Remember Trent Lott?

It is the smart move. I think it would have been best if he had said that he doesn’t want to interfere with Republican primaries, because he certainly did not like when party leaders were interfering with his.
