Yes. It is not a done deal. With DHS working OT making citizens out of immigrants . . . and whatever other tricks the D’s have up their sleeves. We need EVERY vote, including those of the die-hard Cruz supporters. It would be nice to get the Kasich supporters too but then there weren’t that many. Cruz on the other hand, millions. No need to offend them. Like someone else said, an endorsement now will make news and change minds toward Trump more than it would have in July and makes it seem more sincere now vs. then with “just words” at a Convention. This can only ADD to the momentum for Trump . . . Win Win.
Bull. So now you attack his supporters?
“:^)
I love that thing...
I want the endorsement, but I want Trump to be cautious.
I wouldn’t stage a joint appearance with him.
As Hannity keeps saying, Trump needs a higher percentage of Republicans to back him.
Even if Cruz has lost 90% of his support, this could still matter. With 20% of the country supporting him over Trump, that’s 2% of voters. That’s more than the likely margin in several states. Cruz better make his endorsement enthusiastic, unqualified, and at least seemingly sincere.
The people on ‘The Conservative Hammer’ Facebook site are eating their young.
Cruz’s political brand of “I am the ONLY true conservative” is so divisive. Look what he did here. He needs to get behind Trump 1000% to put this all behind him. I doubt he will. He’d rather hide behind his wife’s skirt.
I was, too, at one time’ but I think now too much water’s run under the bridge and Cruz couldn’t be trusted on the SC. What better way to get revenge on Trump then from the SC bench.
I agree. I want it, but I don’t want games.
They might confirm him. Just to be rid of him.
This is good news. Eyes on the prize folks. If hitlery wins, what Ted Cruz does, thinks, or says will be the least of our concerns.
Keep your friends close. Your enemies closer.
I guess the message from Reince Priebus got through to Cruz: “No support for Trump, no support for you...”
I remember Trump said he wouldn’t accept Cruzs’ endorsement if he offered it, but I guess if he rejected it, it would look petty and the media would have a field day with that. Trump should just say thank you and move on.
Whereas I don’t exactly trust Cruz any more, I’m still happy to have him and his supporters on board.
Even if we didn’t need their help to win, we want to run up the score on the Clintons and the globalists and wipe them out completely, if at all possible, and every bit of help is good with that.
Naaah. Too cute by half. And if the millions of dollars in ads and the yipping media brigade saying that DJT is the embodiment of evil haven’t convinced the bernouts to show, then having the neocons endorse isn’t going to do it, either.
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.
