Former Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz will speak at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, the Texas senator's office announced Thursday, after the presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump asked him to.

WAC, I understand you're very excited because you were desperately looking for some kind of justification for supporting Trump, but I have news for you. Ted Cruz isn't Jesus, and he isn't the world's moral arbiter. I have my own moral compass, and it isn't informed by politicians.
Trump hasn't changed. All this serves to do is diminish Cruz. All over social media and on TV, it's being portrayed as an endorsement, as a Cruz cave despite the fact that Trump trashed his wife and his father. And of course, due to the optics, that's the way it would have always been portrayed.
My husband believes this could be a repeat of 1976, when Ford invited Reagan to speak and he brought the house down and made the people understand "I'm the guy you should have nominated." Husband also reminded me that, since Cruz is already planning his 2020 run according to National Review, he can't afford to seem like a sore loser, and must keep himself and conservative principles front and center. I don't know. Maybe Cruz will bring the house down, but I don't think this is a good move.
But, WAC...you just called yourself a "Trumpkin?"
Really, lol? After the things you've said about Trump?
