It implies he think more of himself than any supposed principle.

Not endorsing Trump doesn't tell me that. What tells me that is Cruz's abject refusal of a seat on SCOTUS where he could affect the conservative movement for decades.

I'm out on Cruz.

Cruz should not endorse Trump, ever.  If Trump loses (as is likely), Cruz will look smart for not endorsing him.  The same holds true if Trump is elected and his presidency implodes.

It will NOT hurt Cruz for not endorsing Trump.  Most of the party, even those voting for Trump, can't stand him. 

Cruz would do well to make some Senate allies.  It was telling he had no support from anybody but Mike Lee in his presidential run.

Yep. Yep. And Yep.

I hope you are right. I am a Cruz Supporter.
Same people and crazy people all vote, so I hope you are right.
I think this election has shown us that emotions have beat logic and principle.
Let's hope it is aberration.

And sane People voted for Ted Cruz overwhelmingly.... Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas... .

Only the racist in the south propelled Scam Wow to a "rigged" delegate count when there were 17 candidates.  Likely the even more racist north/england part of the country cemented this orange cockroach as the R candidate.

I could care less who wins Hillary/trump.. same same.

I will continue to back Cruz and other Tea/Constitutional types.

Cruz knows that Osama Bin Laden's corpse would be confirmed to SCOTUS before he would ever be.

That is why the abject refusal to be named, if in fact he was ever even asked beyond speculation.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
