They had the chance to vote *for* Ted Cruz.
They didn't.
@Maj. Bill Martin Here's a radical thought for you to consider,maybe most people consider Cruz to be a mush-mouth weasel who is more of a part of the problem than he is an answer?
I started out as a Cruz supporter myself because he SEEMED to be the only actual conservative in the race,but as time passed I liked him less and less,and had decided to just not vote for a president candidate in the primary.
AGAIN.
Which meant I wouldn't be voting for a presidential candidate in the actual election,either.
Then it occurred to me that IF Trump could win,his ego would prevent him from being a "go along to get along weasel",and he just might be the bomb-thrower we need. At a minimum,he couldn't be worse than Hillary. So the night before the election I decided to vote for Trump,and am glad I did.
