Ginni Thomas, the wife of current Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, is now on the Trump/Pence bandwagon, announcing it today on Facebook while attacking Ted Cruz for not endorsing Trump:

Quote
Richard Viguerie speaks for me here, as a former Ted Cruz supporter who spent time as a surrogate. I thought he cared about more of the country than he ended up caring about. Trump/Pence 2016 now.

The article she cites attacks Cruz, saying he committed political suicide by not endorsing Trumpertantrum at the convention.

Mark Levin doesn’t agree, responding with a short comment on his Facebook: “Neither of you speak for me”.

It’s really ridiculous that Thomas would expect Ted Cruz, after both he and his family were dragged through the gutter, to still kiss the ring of the man who did it all because he won the primary.

But it’s worse that she would expect Cruz, a man who tried to convince the country that he really is a man of principle, to suddenly abandon those principles when it is inconvenient.

If anything his non-endorsement of Trump should have made her more proud, as a supporter, that he actually stuck by his principles and his family. But instead, she’d rather have had him sell out.

Amazing.

And to top it off, she thinks a Trump endorsement by Cruz would mean he cares about the country? If Trump were a good candidate, she might have a point. But he’s a disaster, taking many liberal positions, saying whatever he needs to say to win. Who knows what he’ll do if he actually gets to the Oval Office.

And this is the ring she wants Cruz to kiss? I just don’t get that at all.

Whoever said that this election cycle has revealed the true colors of many conservatives is right on target.

This is once more a damnation of those doing the attack than those being attacked. If Cruz encouraging people to vote their values and vote for the Constitution offends someone, maybe one should evaluate why your candidate doesn't live up to your values and the Constitution.

Trump isn't spending a dime on advertising. He doesn't have a ground game. He's dissed on Cruz and poured roundup on the grass roots support he could have had. Now I'm supposed to believe this is all Cruz's fault. I don't think so.

Everyone likes to talk big about principles and yet Cruz is not the one out campaigning on liberal policies that will destroy this country. If people think loyalty to the candidate tops loyalty to the constitution and the conscience God blessed them with, then we we are in grave trouble indeed.
“The way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don't have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail.” ― Louis L'Amour

Why does it bother the cult so much that Ted doesn't endorse Trump?

Richard Viguerie is from the website Conservative headquarters but they are just another website.  I don't see why they'd really carry extra weight.

I forget where, but i read somewhere that basically if you were under 45, you loved Cruz's speech, and if you were over 45 you hated it.

I have always said to myself that it is their CONSCIENCE that is bothering them.

They wanted a strong, genuine conservative to be behind their decision to justify their support for Trump.

Unfortunately Trump, by his insults and personal attacks, has all but alienated the real conservatives of the party.

The boo's and threats that Ted Cruz received when they could simply have respectfully applauded all but ensured that.

Apparently they think we're sheep like they are. All we need is someone to point us in the direction of Trump and we'll stampede.

Trump and his culturally degenerate fans can all go to hell.

That jibes with Cruz doing as well as he did with Millennials while Trump presumably locked down the nasty old fart vote.

He is the future of the opposition to the statists. Think I'll send his senate campaign another check.

I wonder if Ginni would feel the same way if following his confirmation hearings Clarence had come out and heartily supported the re-election campaigns of Joe Biden, Howard Metzenbaum and Patrick Leahy.

I don't know. Christie didn't endorse Romney and nobody cared.
I don't think Rand Paul endorsed Romney, either, but I could be wrong about Paul.
I know she is not a judge, just a justice's wife, but why would she voice an opinion, either way?
I guess it is her 1st amendment right to do so, but how will that sit, should Cruz have something come up in the future that goes in front of Thomas?

  • Didn't vote for McCain Dole Romney Trump !
Good grief, Trump is so bad that as much as I really like Cruz even if Cruz was picked as VP I still couldn't vote for a Trump/Cruz platform. Trump is toxic, it is that simple. He only serves to poison those that get near him.

I couldn't give a flying fig what she thinks. Still believe that her husband is an honorable man. (Wonder how Mrs. Thomas feels about Anita Hill and the gang who tried to disparage her husband.)

It's like some weird contagion that causes formerly sensible conservatives to fall into Trumpism dementia, one by one.  Unless....they were never sensible or conservatives to begin with....?

This is a great question and pretty easy to answer. They can't believe their guy could be so easily shown to be a low class bumbling fool by a man who was willing to stand on principal.

How poor Trump is at playing the long game is shown in how he responded to Sen Cruz. Trump could have easily unified the party if he had told Sen Cruz he was sorry that he got so out of control in the primaries and also apologized to Sen. Cruz's wife and Father. Sen Cruz would have had no choice but to endorse him.

I must be young at heart. I loved the speech. He was so spot on.

I am well over 45 and liked the speech a lot.

Actually Christie did endorse Romney. He did it at his Keynote Speech at the Republican National Convention - August 28 2012

Family honor was drilled into me from a very young age by my great grandmother and she made it very clear that I was to fight to defend my sisters.

She only knew of her father becoming violent 1 time and that was to defend the honor of his wife. Some comment had been made while the family was in town so great great granddad took his family home, changed into his work clothes, got back on the wagon and returned to town.

I wonder how many more weeks with no apparent attempt to compete in battleground states and how many more ridiculous self destructive gaffes it will take before enough people conclude that Trump is in this thing for reasons other than winning?

Interesting theory. I think though it has more to do with his narcistic personality disorder. He doesn't really want to win and have to deal with the day to day grind of being POTUS. He just wants to be worshiped because he's so wonderful.
