I knew it. I knew St. Ted was seeing himself as Richelieu.

This is nonsense, WashPo agitprop.

True. Just the Post stirring the pot.

Whoever these stray #NeverTrumpers are some of them must have supported Cruz at one point or another.

That doesn't mean they're his minions or his pawns or that he's responsible for them or secretly leading their campaign or that he could stop them if he exerted himself.

In fact, a lot of #NeverTrumpers were only very reluctant supporters of TC, not people particularly close to him.

The problem, though, is that these rumor stories stick around, so we'll be hearing garbage like this for as long as Ted Cruz is in the public eye.

Be that as it may, Cruz could simply say "Trump won, the primary is over. Stop this nonsense and vote with the will of the people". Wonder why he isn't saying that?

the Cruz Facebook site and Twitter sites are still looking to for an open convention. Cruz hasn’t endorsed

Cruz called my wife, and was asking if she was still backing Cruz?

If he suspended his campaign why call our house?

I don’t think Cruz will be speaking if there is a floor fight.

Before this I would have supported Cruz in any position not requiring natural born citizenship. Now I can’t support him in anything beyond curator at the BO library.

I got another rumor here:

Report: More than 100 #NeverTrump delegates gave up after Cruz accepted speaking slot from Trump

I certainly can't say for sure that it's true, but it's possible that Cruz's inactivity is discouraging, rather than encouraging, #NeverTrump among the remaining Cruz delegates.

“Why is Cruz on the Convention speakers list?

very risky”

Unless he stops this crap, calls his minions off and endorses Trump NOW, I would never let him speak at the convention.

Cruz is NOT “fighting for his convictions”, unless those convictions are for socialism and selling out the USA.

He is knowingly playing into Hillary’s hand.

If Cruz joins the revolt he will not be President and it’s possible he may not be Senator after the next election. And I speak as one who was supporting him for Senate back when I had to explain to Texans who the in hell he was.

We missed a bullet with that one, thank God.

Exactly....he was riding high for a while before we the people properly vetted him. It would be equal to Hillary.

Cruz’s only true conviction is Cruz.

This is the convention one- now I’m basing that on the link being so identified by the GOP link I followed. Also Blackwell is there (and he always is, bless him) and the reporters on twitter identify it as such.
And there are about a hundred people there.

Isn’t it amazing how difficult politics makes it to be sure of the simplest things?

Trynk to blame it all on WP doesn’t work.

Cruz could put a stop to this, if he came out and publicly endorsed Cruz, honoring his pledge.
