Cruz: I'm voting for Trump

[catfish1957]

Ted Cruz announces endorsement of Donald Trump

[catfish1957]

The way you people HERE treated Trump supporters was nothing less than shameful and I won't soon forget that.

And you are the one here bitchin' about butt hurt.  You are a tool.

[Night Hides Not]

Well thats probably because of the Canadian endorsement Trump just got...i mean they told us Ted wasn't American and all...so clearly Trump is under the influence of a foreign agent!

I understand why Cruz came out of the closet today. He's still a fine Senator for us, but it's not going to change my stance. Trump is still not displaying the leadership qualities of what I expect from my Commander in Chief. He's got 45 days +/- to change my mind.

Tools have a use/purpose. So there is likely a better comparison to be made.

I wouldn't hold my breath. With the last conservative soul corrupted, the great god of the left will now stand unopposed. Not a single reason remains for him to accommodate anyone but fellow travelers. AKA Democrat Liberals.

As one of Cruz' biggest supporters even back to his senatorial primaries, words can not describe my disappointment in him abandoning his principles.

My respect for him dropped two notches tonight.  And btw, I still will not vote for Trump or Hitlerly.

Mine evaporated. He had one job. One. To be the person he presented himself as. "Stalwart Conservative'. He failed. No reason to renew the contract of Mighty Casey when he struck out.

[LMAO]

The real test for Cruz will be what he does when Trump's budgets are in the red with big deficits or what he does when Trump attempts to expand the size of the federal government.

It was easy for him to oppose BHO's overreach as he was from the opposing party

If he or anyone actually did the actual job they were elected for, it's 100% easy 100% of the time. "Here's the position of my state/constituency. Period. My vote is X."

They were not elected by the RNC. Or the DNC. But they vote like they were. Ergo they represent party, not people.

[Fantom]

Now that I've gotten the preliminary I told you so's out of the way on the other thread, I'd like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Senator Cruz for getting over his hurt and for coming to his senses. He must've used that extra strength Preparation-H I sent him.

Well..... I am with Ted, it is not that He so much as endorsed trump, as such Ted said trump is less suck than Hillary.

Obviously there is some backdoor politics to, from trump... those latest SCOTUS list mayhap. trump is being trained.

Now having said that. I would vote for trump on the strength of Teds argument.  Then I read the writings of a trumpansie... and it moves me back to under  a % 5.00 chance I would vote for the orange one.......

.... Good job aighn... however you spell your  name.

Husband: Hi, honey. I'm home.

Wife: What did you do today, babe?

Husband: Endorsed the guy who called you ugly

Let's take a hand count.

How many here are moving to Belize?

I have been a huge supporter of Cruz's and I am thoroughly disappointed.  IMHO... something or more likely someone got to Ted.  I question what is truly going on ... the timing for one seems a bit odd to me.  I would have thought if he were going to announce he was going to vote for him, he would have done so closer to the election instead of a month out and certainly, I would think he would have waited till after the first debate. IMHO Ted has made a huge mistake ... there is a strong possibility that Donny could make a total asz out of himself during the debate and even more likely that he will display his lack of knowledge on the issues, government and the Constitution.

On the other hand Since Cruz has fought several Supreme Court battles (Heller v. DC etc.) and won, I think Scalia's vacancy may have weighed heavily on him and the fact that at least one other additional justice will probably be appointed.  Cruz stated; "We know, without a doubt, that every Clinton appointee would be a left-wing ideologue. Trump, in contrast, has promised to appoint justices 'in the mold of Scalia'".

Cruz unfortunately, is taking him at his word.

..."Cruz also praised Trump for releasing an updated list of potential Supreme Court nominees that includes Sen. Mike Lee. Cruz said he had sought "greater specificity on this issue, and today the Trump campaign provided that."

I'm skeptical of Trump's claim he will appoint justices in the "mold of Scalia."  That's alot of blind faith his backers have pinned their hopes on.

So you are saying you do not want the votes you mock?

Understand... Ted did not endorse trump.  He merely acknowledged that Scamwow has  learned to sit and beg the Conservative vote, as such trump is a less vile option than Hillary.

oh HELL no. I want to be here front and center to watch the wailing and gnashing of teeth when the useful idiots get frogmarched to the wall.

Without a doubt and I am sure that is why Cruz was certain to point it out...remember also, that it is the Senate that votes to approve the justice appointment.  Cruz I am confident will do his best to hold his feet to the fire. 

Really, everything hinges on IF the GOP can keep the majority in the Senate. If they keep the majority there is a chance that we will at least get a moderate justice(s).  If they lose the majority ... it's curtains; it doesn't matter if Trump keeps his word or not ... a majority liberal Senate can make it extremely difficult for him and if Hillary makes it in ... a GOP majority can hopefully get her to place a moderate justice while a DEM majority will give us a liberal progressive justice.

[Norm Lenhart]

I won't lift a finger to help, but I will be watching to see Trump stab them in the back.  That is inevitable.   I may not be able to resist an "I told you so."  But it won't make me happy.

Oh I FULLY plan on helping. When the BLM types come looking and the Brownshirts start marching I'll be pointing them to the very people they are interested in talking to. Because

A: it gives me time to get my family to safety as WE won't have empowered them and...

B: they already said across the net that I and those like me should be shot for Treason.

So I will be very happy to let them get their desired outcome. Fascism.

If you think she was unaware that he was planning to do this, you're crazy.  She might have even encouraged him to do this...we don't know, and it's wrong to assume.

A vote for someone is an endorsement. Period. Any disavowal is mealy-mouthed crap.

[Silver Pines]

I'm personally betting that Ted Cruz sacrificed for the greater good and I'm betting the GOP threatened to let Obama give the internet away if Cruz didn't support Trump. We already know what kind of bottom feeding scum they are from McConnell lying to the American people about Obamacare.

In the end, Trump will lose anyway but Ted Cruz won't get the blame for it.

@Cripplecreek

CC, you may be right.  I'd like to think you are.  But I'm just done. 

They better enjoy the celebrating, though, because it's going to be fleeting.

And thats the one truth they will never be able to avoid, rewrite or make go away.
