When the hosts asked Ryan if he wanted to encourage other Republicans to support Trump, he only answered from his point of view:
“I’m supporting our entire Republican ticket. I have been all along. My focus personally right now is saving our House majority.”
Cruz has also had an up-and-down relationship with Trump and the party, especially after he refused to endorse Trump at the Republican National Convention. But that all changed in September when he endorsed Trump in a Facebook post. KHOU11 caught up with Cruz after he voted:
“I voted straight ticket Republican,” said Cruz. “I encourage conservatives to come out all across Houston, all across the State of Texas.”
He also encouraged people to get out and vote.
“It’s all about turnout and that’s why need people to come out and vote,” said Cruz. “It’s why I voted early. You beat the lines on election day and you make your voice count.”

Everyone should vote to stop CORRUPT HILLARY! There is no chance she will ever face justice if she wins!

Trump has finally released his replacement for Obamacare just now, in NC:

“I voted straight ticket Republican,” said Cruz. “I encourage conservatives to come out all across Houston, all across the State of Texas.”
That just means all of the candidates he voted for were Republicans. It doesn't mean he voted for all of them.
-
Good for them.
I won't be voting for Trump.
I will no longer vote for anyone in the GOP unless they are a vetted and solid Conservative.
I'm all in Constitution Party for now.
Let the GOP die as it deserves to. It is wholly corrupted and irredeemable.
-
Sen. Cruz, I took your FIRST advice to Heart, and Voted my Conscience. I wrote in Darrell Castle.
Wish you would have also, but hey, you're still among the top 3 current US Senators in my book, that I believe has MY best interest in your Mind and Heart.
-
My primary objective this election is to vote to maintain the GOP majority in the Senate and the House. I also researched the state Supreme Court justices and district justices and voted out those appointed by our liberal governor and retained those appointed by our more conservative governor. :patriot:
-
Make America Great Again.
Vote for the guys that Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, and conservative firebrand, Ted Cruz, voted for:
Trump-Pence 2016

Yup. I have no problem with them voting the way they feel they must and I'll be voting the way my conscience demands that I must.

:beer:
-
I'm confused by this news. Should we beat Cruz and Ryan with socks filled with a bars of soap or buy them a beer?
-
Everyone should vote to stop CORRUPT HILLARY! There is no chance she will ever face justice if she wins!
There is another side to this coin.
I can't vote for Trump because I don't support the LGBT agenda. I don't support abortion, abortion providers, or abortions being subsidized with my taxes/healthcare premiums. I know in our populist frenzy I'm supposed to throw out my values and beliefs and follow the mob, but I'm not going to do that.
-
Make America Great Again.
Vote for the guys that Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, and conservative firebrand, Ted Cruz, voted for:
Trump-Pence 2016
Trump Uber Alles?
We do not cast our votes based for whom other people cast their votes.
Maybe you do.
We don't.
-
Sen. Cruz, I took your FIRST advice to Heart, and Voted my Conscience. I wrote in Darrell Castle.
Same here.
I understand why Cruz did what he did, but he ended up voting for a Donald Trump that doesn't exist.
He went through a list of Conservative statements that Trump had made and declared that he was voting for that Trump. Yet everyone knew Trump was lying.
-

I voted for a Conservative that is running against her.

Suddenly Trumpettes support Paul Ryan and Cruz.
Cruz - against whom they launched an unprecedented set of attacks lacking in any verisimilitude during the primary. A character they willfully destroyed since he was the primary challenger to Trump.
Ryan - who they demonized as "establishment" all along. Who they burned in effigy when he balked at supporting their Orange God.
Yep - those two guys. Heroes! Because they now back the false messiah.

That will do nothing but help her win.

Get them drunk, and when they pass out, do a Code Red on them... :tongue2:
-

Those who voted for Trump in the primaries have helped her win. The Dems were rooting for Trump from the start.

This lie again!

LOL. That should make everyone happy.

I see that logic is not your strong suit. Let's review, shall we? You vote for Trump and I'll vote for Castle. Here's how those votes tally out:
Castle - 1
Trump - 1
Clinton - 0
Explain how I helped Clinton win.

This lie again!

Yeah, they keep pushing the same BS.
Vote for a liberal (Trump) so that Conservatives win.
Vote for a Conservative so that the other of two liberals wins.
Freedom is Slavery.
War is Peace.
Ignorance is Strength.
Trump supporters are Patriots.

Just released by Trump HQ, the "Donald J. Trump Plan for Peace, Prosperity, and Profit" (with apologies to Ayn Rand)
“The Donald J. Trump plan will reconcile all conflicts. It will protect the property of the rich and give a greater share to the poor. It will cut down the burden of your taxes and provide you with more government benefits. It will lower prices and raise wages. It will give more freedom to the individual and strengthen the bonds of collective obligations. It will combine the efficiency of free enterprise with the generosity of a planned economy.”
“And I say to you: kick them in the teeth, all those doubters… Tomorrow is here today! With three meals a day for everyone on earth, with a car in every garage, and with electric power given free, produced by some sort of a motor the like of which we’ve never seen!”
-

Bullcrap. ONLY if you assume my vote should be Trumps in the first place. Otherwise it is a 'null' as far as the direct Trump/Clinton race is concerned: Nothing goes in Clinton's column, and nothing goes in Trump's. BASIC math.
My vote does not belong to liberal lowlifes. It belongs to ME, and I will endorse whomever I see fit.
-
Trump Uber Alles?

Maybe you do.
We don't.
Was that not the same guy who criticized us for "worshipping" Cruz?

As a general rule, any time liberals accuse you of wrongdoing, it is because they are already doing it themselves.

Mind if I break this tie?

I still wish I was voting for Cruz.
I'll vote straight Republican , except I still don't know if I am voting for Castle who is on my ballot, or writing in Cruz or SMOD.
Seriously folks. There is a part of me that really wants to write in SMOD. 22222frying pan.
****slapping
I'll figure it out when I'm working the polls next Tuesday. Although I'm 99%'sure I will be voting for Castle.
-
Yup. I have no problem with them voting the way they feel they must and I'll be voting the way my conscience demands that I must.
Exactly.
