Well according to you he's lying Ted. So this is just more lies, right?

I heard where Tim Kaine yesterday drew 15-30 people at a college in Iowa. That campaign got no legs. The media carries it on its back.

Pence was a supporter of Cruz until the bitter end. He's a good man, and deserves support.
-
Maybe Sen. Cruz is onto something and HE's 'vetting' Gov. Pence. The US senate does pick the Vice President if trump collapses and McMullin takes Utah.
Otherwise, I'm not fond of this but who am I to second guess this Man.

Right up until he agreed to run on the Trump ticket... :laugh:

Pence doesn't need Cruz's or your vetting.
I must respond to this insult to Pence, Pence has more pro-life accomplishments then Cruz, clearly more than McMullin whom comment on the pro-life movement are non-existent before this year, Romney's pro-life status is questionable as well.
So, if you are a pro-choicer, sure, McMullin is one's choice and voting for McMullin promotes the abortion agenda.
Pence has done more on social issues, than Romney, Cruz, Paul and McMullin put all together.

Gov. Pence signs revised Indiana religious freedom bill into law
By Wesley Lowery
April 2, 2015
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) on Thursday afternoon signed into law a revised version of a controversial religious freedom bill, that included new language to clarify that businesses and service providers cannot use the legislation as a justification to discriminate based on a client’s sexual orientation.
The original Religious Freedom Restoration Act came under fire nationally, with critics contending that it could allow businesses to refuse to serve gay and lesbian patrons. Under scrutiny, Pence asked that the language of the bill be clarified, and lawmakers unveiled new language on Thursday morning that explicitly stated that no “provider…may deny service to anyone on basis of sexual orientation, race, religion or disability.”
In signing the revised bill, which was approved by the legislature on Thursday, Pence continued to argue that there had been a misunderstanding about the bill’s intent.

Maybe. But Hillary is so bad, reasonable people can get drunk enough to support Trump.

Stumping with Pence, Cruz doesn't directly boost Trump
In his first public appearance on behalf of his party's presidential ticket, Ted Cruz stopped far short of making an unambiguous pitch for Donald Trump, his former bitter rival in the primaries.

Sen.Cruz made his first public appearance Thursday on behalf of his party's presidential ticket, speaking at length about the stakes of the election and trumpeting Mike Pence — but voicing no direct support for Donald Trump.
"We're going to keep Republican control of the Senate and we're going to defeat Hillary Clinton in this presidential election," Cruz said at a Pence rally in Iowa, one of several moments where Cruz stopped far short of making an unambiguous pitch for Trump, his former bitter rival in the primaries.
Cruz's relationship with the Trump-Pence ticket has been complicated, even after he finally backed the GOP nominee in September. Before that, Cruz withheld his support for months, including during a primetime speech at the Republican National Convention.
On Thursday, Cruz returned to the state where he first bested Trump in the nominating process, appearing with Pence, the Indiana governor who initially endorsed Cruz. At the Iowa rally, Cruz heaped praise on Pence, calling him "someone who today I call my friend and I very much look forward to calling Mr. Vice President."
That was about as direct as Cruz's remarks on the Trump-Pence team got. He otherwise spent most of his speech reiterating what he sees as critical issues in the election while exalting the need for Republicans in general to prevail Tuesday.

Stumping with Pence puts it over the top for me.
We need to primary all Republicans that support Trump. Every last one of them needs to be out of politics.

I can just imagine how ecstatic you are @HAPPY2BME to learn that your Man finally has the 'endorsement' of a Canadian-Latino, immigrant-hating White Southern Supremacist.
Congratulations are in order.

Thanks for posting that. Another meme (used to be called an old fashioned lie) knocked down.
But, you know, it's disappointing to find so many false stories spread across the pages of TBR. **nononono*

Oh no! Cruz actually voted his conscious AND is doing what he can to DEFEAT Clinton. Wow. That's pretty shameful!

Ted Cruz in Iowa: ‘I’m Here Campaigning for Donald Trump, for Mike Pence’

What Cruz did say, in part, was, “If you care about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, if you care about free speech and religious liberty and the Second Amendment, then this election, putting a Republican in the White House and keeping a Republican Senate, is the whole enchilada. We are one liberal [Supreme Court] Justice away from losing our constitutional rights.”

I’m here campaigning for Donald Trump, for Mike Pence.
I recognize some of you guys are wanting to write stories suggesting divisions among Republicans. I’ll make a point, I’m getting ready to get on a gigantic airplane that has Donald Trump’s name painted on the side of it.
On Monday of this week I voted for Donald Trump. I voted for Mike Pence and I’ll tell you, we’re just a few days away from election day and I’m doing everything I can to defeat Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton would be an absolute disaster as president. I’m doing everything I can to keep a Republican majority in the Senate.
As Mike pointed out I think there are many issues front and center in this election, but none is more important than the U.S. Supreme Court.

I'm afraid some people are losing sight of what the ultimate objective is here.
At least, what I thought was our objective - doing whatever necessary to prevent the progressive kleptocrats from completing their takeover.
Thank God for Cruz. Wish we had a dozen more just like him.

The closest thing Ted got to any Endorsement today was (paraphrasing) "I'm in THIS Plane with Trump/Pence painted on the side, ain't I?"
It isn't what you want to believe it is.
He's between a Rock and a Hard Spot, and in the 'Art of the Deal' Fashion negotiated his best deal Pence only and no mention of that NY liberal.
He' got 2 years with the help of a few allies to fight Trump or Clinton's Liberal Agenda in the Senate.
He will overcome you and among others @sinkspur , fears.
IMHO

@corbe ...Cruz mentioned Trump by name at the next campaign stop in Michigan.

He said "if you're tired of your Healthcare premiums going up, you need to vote for Trump/Pence" That is the ONLY quote I can find today where Trump left his breath, and that was at the second Rally in MI.
So be it, you're happy now right???????
Cruz now your BFF?????
