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.”

Yeah, we know why Ted is doing this. He’s trying to recollect political capital that he has lost, but he would have endorsed Ryan if he were the nominee.

I reaaaly don’t get this guy. I get his newsletter, listen to him every time he’s on T.V., sometimes for hours (i.e. filibuster.) I was his biggest fan.

He seem to flip to the dark side.

In the world of D.C., they say he’s a brat. (And I live there) and I’m starting to agree with them. When they said he was a brat, I put it off as Rinos not getting their way. Not so sure any more.

Brilliant man who lost his way??? DANG! DAMN! ... and then some.

This is the type of thing that caused me to never trust Cruz. It all seems for show.

Cruz will lose his senate race next year, especially if Trump loses.

He’s all in now hoping Everyone falls and he can somehow still turn things around. He needs therapy. Like six hours a day.

Trump did what he had to do to shut the newsmen up.

Ted does everything for selfish reasons.

It is totally funny that dead-man walking Cruz is still doing press releases and interviews that nobody cares about. If he had the IQ of a carrot, he’d be working on the next re-election that he is going to lose.

That’s for certain. It’s not healthy, either.

You’re a nasty one. That is uncalled for. You will be a total basket case by Nov. 8. And by Nov. 9 you might hurt yourself.

At least one conservative still exists that doesn’t support a traitor to the United States.
