Title: Ted Cruz: #Never Hillary

27 September, 2016


Dear My Fellow Conservative,

This election is unlike any other in our nation's history. Like many other voters, I have struggled to determine the right course
of action in this general election.
 
In Cleveland, I urged voters, "please, don't stay home in November. Stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket whom you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution."
 
After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.
 
I've made this decision for two reasons. First, last year, I promised to support the Republican nominee. And I intend to keep my word.
 
Second, even though I have had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, by any measure Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable - that's why I have always been #NeverHillary.
 
Six key policy differences inform my decision. First, and most important, the Supreme Court. For anyone concerned about the Bill of Rights - free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment - the Court hangs in the balance. I have spent my professional career fighting before the Court to defend the Constitution. We are only one justice away from losing our most basic rights, and the next president will appoint as many as four new justices. 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."
 
For some time, I have been seeking greater specificity on this issue, and today the Trump campaign provided that, releasing a very strong list of potential Supreme Court nominees - including Sen. Mike Lee, who would make an extraordinary justice - and making an explicit commitment to nominate only from that list. This commitment matters, and it provides a serious reason for voters to choose to support Trump.

Second, Obamacare. The failed healthcare law is hurting millions of Americans. If Republicans hold Congress, leadership has committed to passing legislation repealing Obamacare. Clinton, we know beyond a shadow of doubt, would veto that legislation. Trump has said he would sign it.
 
Third, energy. Clinton would continue the Obama administration's war on coal and relentless efforts to crush the oil and gas industry. Trump has said he will reduce regulations and allow the blossoming American energy renaissance to create millions of new high-paying jobs.
 
Fourth, immigration. Clinton would continue and even expand President Obama's lawless executive amnesty. Trump has promised that he would revoke those illegal executive orders.
 
Fifth, national security. Clinton would continue the Obama administration's willful blindness to radical Islamic terrorism. She would continue importing Middle Eastern refugees whom the FBI cannot vet to make sure they are not terrorists. Trump has promised to stop the deluge of unvetted refugees.
 
Sixth, Internet freedom. Clinton supports Obama's plan to hand over control of the Internet to an international community of stakeholders, including Russia, China, and Iran. Just this week, Trump came out strongly against that plan, and in support of free speech online.
 
These are six vital issues where the candidates' positions present a clear choice for the American people.
 
If Clinton wins, we know - with 100% certainty - that she would deliver on her left-wing promises, with devastating results for our country.
 
My conscience tells me I must do whatever I can to stop that.
 
We also have seen, over the past few weeks and months, a Trump campaign focusing more and more on freedom - including emphasizing school choice and the power of economic growth to lift African-Americans and Hispanics to prosperity.
 
Finally, after eight years of a lawless Obama administration, targeting and persecuting those disfavored by the administration, fidelity to the rule of law has never been more important.
 
The Supreme Court will be critical in preserving the rule of law. And, if the next administration fails to honor the Constitution and Bill of Rights, then I hope that Republicans and Democrats will stand united in protecting our fundamental liberties.
 
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 promised to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that commitment.
 
For liberty,
Ted Cruz

Of the six points Cruz has listed, only energy seems to be the one thing to me that Trump will do differently, and perhaps immigration, but he has moved around a lot on that topic.

Putting Mike Lee on the Supreme Court list was nice, but it doesn't mean anything, since Lee, like Cruz, will not take the position.
Not sure much will change at all on the other 4 points.

Sorry Ted.

After last night's clownshow performance by the cretin you've endorsed (who made you look like an imbecile BTW), Trump confirmed to me that he will be WORSE in that office than Hillary.

I don't want such a thin-skinned-incoherent-juvenile-ranting-whiner whose only purpose it seems is to promote himself and his own interests, anywhere NEAR the political football.

Notwithstanding he admitted on live television he is a tax evader who doesn't pay federal taxes and has no problem hurting anyone when it is 'business'.

You chose to endorse a vindictive madman, who made Hillary look absolutely presidential in comparison.

You would have been better off being silent and voting for whomever you chose to vote for in secret and in quiet.

You simply sold out your reputation and integrity to a pathetic excuse and national embarrassment for a presidential contender.

This post summarizes everything you and your clique are about. Holding that vote over our head so we'll grovel. Many of you are here to carry Hillary's water, or are radical 3rd party voters that will have no measurable influence on the election.

You should have picked a candidate that had a chance of winning the nomination. What does it say about Ted Cruz's electability that he couldn't beat Donald Trump? What does it say about how in the minority you are that you have had no influence on the election so far? Ted Cruz is not standing in solidarity with you...he is standing with Donald Trump.

You don't have "cult like" behavior because you are a cult.  We are not the ones who follow someone know matter what they say or do.    I supported Sen. Cruz because he was the most conservative person running.  I do not follow him not matter what he does or says, like you tRumpkins.  When he is wrong then I am free to disagree with him.  Unlike your love for the Great Orange tRumpkin Pumpkin, I do not love Sen. Cruz.

The people who will be responsible if the Beast wins are the approximately 40% of numbnuts who nominated the Donald.  It is the Donald's and their job to convince the other 60% to vote for him.  If they can't do that, they are responsible for the loss.  Nobody owns someone elses vote, nor should they expect to.

I'll take 'irrelevance' happily in the midst of such a crooked and perverse generation.`

Or get major payback.

Or get hunted down by dogs.

Or be 'peppered full of holes'.

Or be lined up and shot for 'treason'.

Or 'all of the above'.

After taking away your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd amendment rights (plus giving the internet up to UN control - THAT is exactly what Hillary (would) do for all you neocons.

In spite of your best efforts, both Hillary and you will FAIL.

Because you bought into this defeatism.

Yes, at this point in time when [as Ted Cruz said] the SCOTUS hangs in balance, so do your precious principles. They will be made illegal should the court swing wildly lleft.

This is, of course, a load of crap.

Could it be that those "damn Democrats" that wasted their vote on Trump could be future Republicans? Could it be they saw the light regarding a third Obama presidency?

Stranger things have happened. They happened for Reagan.

It's much more likely that they saw that Clinton couldn't lose the nomination and decided to make sure the least electable Republican they could imagine got the nomination.  Any "Reagan republicans" have left the Democrat Party long since.

So if we're "irrelevant," why are you Trumpenfaithful so insistent on denigrating anyone not paying proper homage to your Dear Leader?  It's as though you consider us apostates, who have fallen away from your religion.  We never subscribed to your form of worship, though.

Look, I know this concept is hard for people like you who rise and go to bed at the grant of government (which is why you want a king) - but NO ONE can take my 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th Amendment inalienable rights away - unless I surrender them first - which aint gonna happen.

Not without a fight.

Or their agents with guns to our heads insists upon obedience by force - in which case - we have a full-blown despotic tyranny and at that point maybe a few folks will realize what time it is.


In spite of your best efforts, both Hillary and you will FAIL.

Well, I hope Hillary fails as well as Trump.

I mean, only someone who wants a lifelong NY liberal Democrat running as a Republican would be stupid enough to think the rest of us want Hillary to succeed in making big government bigger and thus America Great again.

If you don't vote against her. you're with her


So in your line of thinking, if people decide to simply stay home on election night, then they support Clinton. You have the same mindset as BHO when, after the 2014 mid terms, he stated something to the effect that he has to represent the people who didn't vote assuming those that didn't vote in the 2014 election supported him and his policies. Now, most reasonable people who even have a faint understanding of the system  understand that isn't the case


However, it sounds like you have very little understanding how an election works. So let me break it down for you. A vote for a candidate is a vote for that candidate. Not voting for a particular candidate is not voting for a particular candidate. If someone doesn't vote for anyone, then that means they don't support any of the candidates. See how simple that was?

Trump, nor anyone else, is not entitled to someone's vote

No, I understand that every vote for Trump is a vote against Hillary. Staying home and voting for people who don't matter is for pansies.

Staying home and not voting for either candidate because one doesn't care for their policies or just them personally is a personal choice just like one you made to vote for Trump. 

"Vote your conscience" is good advice. If you conscience says vote Trump, fine. If it says vote third party, or just stay home, it's all a personal choice.

I, of course, will not be voting for Trump for the simple reason is his soft statism is not the fix this country needs. I get the appeal but as a Coolidge/Goldwater type conservative, he is just not my cup of tea. I was hoping, after securing the nomination, he would start campaigning on addressing our fiscal situation and limiting and shrinking the size and scope of the federal government which not only is he not doing but he is more than just a little hinting at growing it further. I don't hate him, and should he win, which is a good possibility he might, and starts to prove my skepticism wrong, I will become a happy and eager supporter of his in 4 years.

He is not entitled to my vote just because he is not Hillary Clinton. Also, his over sensitivity and need to respond to every insult and criticism is disturbing

Just as Trump cannot be bothered actually to prepare for a debate, preferring instead to rely on delusions of his own intelligence expressed as ad hoc bluster, so his supporters cannot do the actual work of persuading anyone, continuing instead to rely on insult and snark.  The latter's effectiveness on this forum is as great as the former's was Monday night in front of 85 million people.

I see the same spirit infesting the Trump militant that I have experienced from the militant Leftist Homosexual agenda pushers.  Nearly the same sentiments expressed which go like this:

"You'll never get these intolerant homophobes to see the light.   They got their self-righteousness tied up in their bigotry.  They think they are better than us because they think their ancient book of myths gives them authority to sneer at love they don't approve of.  They are just hateful tools of homophobes, racists and bigots.

The stupid hateful Religious Right has an overinflated image of itself because they think they are the majority.  Nevermind the fact that the majority of the country not only approves of the gay lifestyle, but embraces it.  They do not care about the rights of gays to marry, that is because of their virtuous self-righteous image of themselves as pristine and perfect."



It always drives the unprincipled and the hedonists insane when people refuse to capitulate to the behaviors they demand everyone embrace, often to the point of insults, threats, ridicule and intimidation.
