Wrong, as usual.  If Trump wrote off Cruz, he wrote off me (and most of the rest of us principled conservatives).  I stand with Ted.  We won't vote for Hillary, who is just as bad as Trump, but for Johnson or Castle or someone else.  But Trump has lost our votes with his petty vindictiveness.  And in the process he's probably destroyed the GOP permanently.  I'm sure you're happy about trying to convert principled conservatism into hero-worshipping authoritarianism, but we won't follow you into the morass of Trump worship.

A couple of points. First, Cruz's career is over, so you should let that go for your own sake. More importantly, most conservatives and Republicans...just as principled if not moreso than yourself...fully support Mr. Trump. You are out there with the Bush-Romney-Kristol establishment axis, so enjoy yourself with those fine fellows. As for hero worship, it was Ted that you and your ilk called the "Chosen" one...that's where the crazy sits. The rest of us are supporting a ticket that will bring much needed change to Washington, and which will govern in an efficient and principled way. We worship no one, and see all the flaws in ALL of the candidates...including the man we are supporting.

So you and your chosen one and the 15 other NeverTrump holdouts will do what you do...have fun. The door is always open should you ever return to sanity.

......its true. Trump wrote off Cruz, not all of his supporters...MANY of whom have already come over to support him. But yes, a 2-3% difference could decide the election, and if that portion is roughly equivalent to Nevertrumps who vote Hillary or don't vote...than they bear the burden of Hillary winning. That's not a moral call, its simple mathematics.

Actually Cruz wrote off his own entire political career, he's no longer relevant.............perhaps it was Cruz who should have gone third party.... then those who hold tightly to what they perceive as Conservatisim would at least have a candidate to support.

Ted will be relevant, and at the center of Conservative action long after trump steaks quit selling.

Donny is such a buffoon.  If he won't accept Cruz's endorsement even IF Cruz gives him one, then why in the word is he making such a big deal about Cruz not endorsing him?? 

I also read where Trump would fund super PAC's to go against Cruz and Kasich! 

Hello...Mr. Trump ... is there anybody home upstairs?  He should be going afterHillary -- but nah ... he'd rather assure her seat in the oval office so he keeps going after former rivals.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Your "couple of points" are totally untrue, of course.  "Most" conservatives fully support Trump?  That's just a flat lie.  As for Trump bringing "much needed change to Washington," and governing "in an efficient and principled way," you sound just like the Obama acolytes from 2008.  You're not capable of self-observation, are you?  And you constantly project your shortcomings onto the rest of us, who have seen through the cloud of dissimulation you constantly put out.

Oh please.  Cruz did absolutely nothing to hurt himself politically by giving the best speech of the convention.  If anything, he bolstered his career.  And "what they perceive" as conservatism is in fact, conservatism.  As opposed to the populist worship of the "big man" that you Trumpists seem to think is a principled belief in something or other.

Thanking his volunteers in Cleveland a day after the Republican National Convention wrapped, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump today slammed Ted Cruz's Wednesday night speech and said he “will not accept” if the Texas senator ever decides to endorse him.

"Honestly, he may have ruined his political career. I feel so badly," Trump said this morning of Cruz, his former primary rival.

Cruz was booed off the stage on the third day of the convention for suggesting that people should “vote their conscience” in November. The Texas senator defended his speech the next morning at a Texas delegate breakfast, arguing he’s “not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and attacks my father.”

Bur Trump said this morning that Cruz will “come and endorse over the next little while. It's because he has no choice. But I don't want his endorsement. What difference does it make?"

"Ted, just stay home, relax, enjoy yourself," Trump said to laughter from the crowd of supporters and convention volunteers.

Trump said he reviewed a version of Cruz's speech, which included no endorsement, but allowed him to take the stage anyway Wednesday night.

“He got up and he added a sentence, which could have been viewed as a nasty thing in terms of what he said because he was implying something which is wrong. But that's OK,” Trump said, referring to Cruz’s “vote your conscience" line.

Sure it's been posted in the pages before this but who/what should the GOP candidate be focusing on day after convention ended?

Trump is one of that sort who believes that every man has his price, and it frustrates him to think that this doesn't apply to Cruz.
Gee, it feels great to be a gangster!

His own party members?   Isn't that the right answer?  I guess it depends on what he considers his party.

Given your demonstrated incorrectness in pretty much all things, I'd say that's good evidence that he's riding high.
