Agree. Stronger with more vs. less. Why keep bashing Cruz which in turn bashes his supporters. And there are many.

Did he endorse Trump the last time everyone thought he was going to?

So you back unethical, immoral, lying back-stabbers like Lyin’ Ted Cruz who associates with other liars like Mitt Romney, Glenn Beck, John Kasich?

He wants to be able to say he supported Trump after his loss.

Support builds. It’s like money and interest. It compounds over time.

Ted waited until the last minute, so his endorsement means a lot less.

People stayed away because of him. Each one of them told others what they were doing. Those others were negatively influenced. They talked to others. The ripple effect was incalculable.

His refusal to support Trump at the Convention was huge. Now he wants to do it as a whisper, comparatively?

If Ted had endorsed warmly at the convention, all the people he impressed with that would have been telling others how they came to support Trump because of Ted.

Ted accentuated the negative and minimized the positive.

He is a major whack-job jerk.

He couldn’t figure out before this that it was vital to beat Hillary Clinton?

Honest to God, the man is a mental midget.

“Everyone....please stop with the bashing of Cruz or his supporters! We’re going to need all the help we can get!! This is still too close to call and we’ve gotta stop the in-fighting!!”

Yes! Lets not fool ourselves into thinking that Trump winning is a done deal, it is not. This is going to be very close and we need every vote possible. If Ted endorsing Trump puts some votes into the Trump column we should be grateful, not bitter and angry.

I would love to see him do it. I donated a good sum of money to Cruz early on. Then it became evident he’d played his hand wrong, so I switched to Trump.

I never stopped hoping for Cruz to come out of this, but the last endorsement opportunity he knifed Trump.

If he does that again, I’m done with any hopes for him.

He won’t do it but if Trump turned it down it would certainly be understandable. After how Cruz has behaved, -—

Nominating Cruz for SCOTUS would put his dirty laundry right back out there, the Senate would love this chance to smack him down.

Might also help his 2018 primary opponents.

Cuban is playing Trump in the mock debate prep for Hillary. So she can just look at him and give her robotic response.

By definition, Cruz supporters lack ethics. Since the creep doesn’t even try to cover up his lies, he’s openly proved he is epitome of political sleaze... worse than The Beast.

Can’t believe I ever supported him at all.

Whew.

If and when Cruz fulfills his promise and pledge to support the nominee.
Then maybe the healing will begin.

Trump won’t turn it down. He wants to unite the party.

The Bushes are another matter and we have ALL seen their true colors through out this process. But in order for Trump to win he’s going to need 92% + of Republican voters plus the new voters he’s brining onboard to beat the Hildabeast and her supporters in the media and everywhere else! This a full court press towards the finish line!!

To the contrary, Cruz would be confirmed for the Supreme Court. McConnell would seize the chance to get him out of the Senate!
