Sorry, but I don't buy that official story. 

I think Cruz was afraid Trump would ensure Cruz would not be re-elected.  So he groveled.

I know Cruz was afraid of Hillary winning and seating liberals on the bench. He did what was best for country.  Quite frankly, you can think whatever you want of Cruz. If the label 'Lyin Ted' makes you feel better, go for it.

Wait one dingdang minute!  I read the entire article and 3 pages of comments wrong!  I thought this was about @Frank Cannon wanting to challenge every republican incumbent except Cruz.  Man, that clears things up immensely.

He said that it was not going to be "fixed" with just one election, but would take several.

Figured that's because not everybody is up for reelection in 2018...or even 2020.
If you are interested in his actual words, here they are.  You are incorrect that he said that Cruz is the only Senator he will not take on in a primary.  That is only for the 2018 primary.

WATCH: Steve Bannon Declares 'War' on All 2018 Senate Incumbents Except Cruz
He said there are only a handful of senators who support Trump, and that he intends to bankroll primary opponents to every 2018 Republican senator except Ted Cruz of Texas.

How about when Cruz endorsed Trump?  Trump lied and humiliated Cruz throughout the campaign and Cruz all but bowed down and kissed his ring. 

Much as I like Cruz, I can't trust him now either.  In the end, he's just another politician.
What exactly did Cruz do that mimicked what you said he did? Support the GOP nominee?  Is that bowing down and kissing rings?

You seem to distort mightedly.

Listen lady. Cruz haters are just gonna hate. It's what they do. It's a waste of time to bother with them.....unless you want to wind them up and refer to Cruz as "Lyin' Ted". Then it's fun.
I agree with you.  Ted is a decent guy who I have met over a friend's house, and his family is adorable.

Ted is so good he scares people, and I think we can see some scared ones on this thread.

I have known Ted Cruz since his days as Solicitor General for the state of Texas.  He has never once lied to me.  I know lots of people and can count on one hand the number I can say that about.

DCPatriot observes:
"True enough, but I still like Bannon essentially saying that Cruz is the ONLY real principled Conservative in Washington"

I don't want "principled" politicians.

I want steamrollers who will roll right over the other side and crush them flat.

How's dat?

Well I've known Lyin' Ted since he was my Au Pair. He used to steal change out of the ash tray in my aunts Electra and drink my dads booze and top it off with tap water. When he got caught, he blamed me and my parents sent me to an all female boarding school in the Alps. Ted is GD AWESOME!!!!!

I think Cruz was afraid Trump would ensure Cruz would not be re-elected.  So he groveled.

What happened was the next day after his convention speech the Texas delegation
"requested" a meeting with Cruz and gave him hell. Most likely told him he would be
primaried (by Dan Patrick?) if he broke his pledge to support the GOP nominee no matter
who that nominee was. Cruz then found a convenient excuse to support Trump. One
of the reason I like Cruz, with enough conservative heat Cruz sees always the light.

You want Republicans who treat the rule of law and the Constitution with the same dislike as the Democrats.

You could care less about saving the country...you just want revenge and payback.

Sad...

You've got to love Cruz's position on issues, instead of these blowhards who would abandon social conservative issues for their own selfish interest. Same with 2nd amendment rights, safe and secure with Trump.

I admire how Cruz doesn't just throw social issues under the bus, like some do.
