Newt Gingrich Says It’s A “Betrayal” If Ted Cruz Does Not Endorse Trump

When did Newt Gingrich become such a lackey? People are free to endorse or not to endorse a candidate. Donald Trump, who doesn't care about anything other than people bowing before his presence has rubbed off on Newt with this garbage about endorsements.

Here's what he said:

Quote
At least one speaker, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), has yet to endorse the GOP nominee. Susteren asked Gingrich if he believed Trump’s former presidential opponent would finally announce his support for Trump during his speech Wednesday night.

“Well I hope he does” endorse him, Gingrich said.

If he doesn’t?

“I think it’ll be sad,” Gingrich said. “It’ll be a betrayal.”

Considering Cruz is getting ready to head back to the Senate, Gingrich argued it would be in Cruz’s best interests to be on Trump’s good side.

This is absurd. Trump needs to get on Cruz's good side, not the other way around. After all, Cruz will have say on Trump appointments and legislation should the miracle of Trump's election come to fruition.

There's being loyal and then there is fealty. Trump's demand of the latter has completely changed my outlook on some people I once respected.

It wouldn't be worse than being buddy buddy with Madame Pelosi.

I'm sure Gingrich really doesn't believe what he's saying, but is going ahead and saying it anyway.

In hopes of being thrown some crumb, no doubt.

Disappointing.

What's absurd is how you're trying to link Newt's personality to some sort of fealty to Trump. Newt and Trump are cut from the same cloth, both love attention. He'll keep saying things like this because he likes being on TV every single day.

Its just a coincidence that he's been out consistently attacking Trump critics?

Its a betrayal to call yourself conservative and pimp global warming alarmism as well.

Cruz betraying the Republican Party? Now just what the hell has the party done for him to earn his loyalty?

Support during his election? NOPE
Support while in the senate? NOPE
Support when he tried to kill O'care? NOPE
Support in his committee? NOPE
Support when running in primaries? NOPE
Support of any kind for anything? NOPE

OK, that is a good start to get his loyalty. Maybe they will like to try again.

Newt is a weasel.  Cruz is a principled constitutional conservative.  Fade away Newtster.
