Thanks, Longmire, I figured we could count on you to come up with any quote. Got a link? Just to verify and all that.

However if those were his words, it's parsed as the fulfillment of an obligation, hardly gushing support.

Sooo Ted has a problem fulfilling commitments. Sounds exactly why he is not the Republican nominee for POTUS. But I can understand why he couldn't give gushing support when he was gushing blood from his azz like that.

You know I can see why Trump uses such simplistic childish schoolyard name calling as a cornerstone of his campaign...it appeals to and connects with simple minded people such as yourself.

Actually, Fred. If I were Ted, I would have told Trump, the GOP and the whole bloody party to kiss my arse, it'd be a cold day in Hell before I ever endorsed that SOB after the lies and the smears and what he did to my family.

The endorsement commitment was one Trump would have weaseled out of had he lost. he would have been braying about "stolen" delegates, etc.

I just took Cruz's statement to mean he had his ass against the wall and wanted to stay in the Senate.

As for Trump, he has debased everything he has touched. It will be a long time before the GOP can get the residue scrubbed off.

Meh. Can't polish a turd, Joe.  And that isn't residue on the GOP. Great. Now I have an earworm.

I would choke on the rhines
But the lack there of would
Leave me empty inside

Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

You ain't Ted. I ain't Ted. The wife and I were out one night and this guy started talking crap at her. She asked me aren't you going to do something? He took his eyes off me to hand off his drink...

That's all there is to it.  And it had to be tepid, or he'd have lost a lot of the NeverTrump votes he needs to keep that gig.

You are cherry picking what he said.   He also said he is voting for Trump because he is the only thing standing in the way of Hillary Clinton as President.   


His statement goes beyond honoring his commitment,  which frankly I wouldn't blame him if he didn't,   but it goes on to the fact that Hillary is a threat to us and the future of the nation.


He is doing it because he believes it is the right thing to do under the circumstances.   That is also how I feel about it.

 :nono:

The challenge was to produce a quote that evidenced Ted Cruz endorsing Trump not write a paean to St. Teddy, and what I provided was sufficient to meet the challenge.

Cruz gave Trump his endorsement, said he was voting for him, and encouraged others to vote Trump. End of story.

Until you provide credible proof Ted Cruz said that...you're spreading a blatant falsehood.

Except there has been no credible evidence that Ted Cruz has ever said the words Longmire claims he did.

He is doing it because he believes it is the right thing to do under the circumstances.   That is also how I feel about it.
"Our country is in crisis. Hillary Clinton is manifestly unfit to be president, and her policies would harm millions of Americans. And Donald Trump is the only thing standing in her way.
 
A year ago, I pledged to endorse the Republican nominee, and I am honoring that commitment. And if you don’t want to see a Hillary Clinton presidency, I encourage you to vote for him."

I still don't hear ringing endorsement. It's like saying we can't tread water forever, and this plank full of nails is the only thing that can keep us afloat. If you don't want to drown, grab it.
Not the excitement you might see if there was a whole lifeboat there.

@Longmire I'd still like a link, if you don't mind.

Cruz was a special case.  I lost respect for him over it.  We stuck by him for the very same issue and now he stabs us in the back.  There are 65 pages worth of complaints in that.  Maybe more.

Do you think he doesn't hear that in his world?  He does.  He had painted himself into a corner.  He was bound to infuriate somebody no matter what he did.  He sowed his own seeds in the Primaries.

I expect 65 more pages before this is done, yeah howdy.

I do sound like that. I kind of get tired of people putting politicians on pedestals. They are politicians. The higher up the chain a politician goes the worse they get.

And it is HARD to be anything but a simpleton when surrounded by so many geniuses.
