Ted Cruz Endorses Trump After All
2016-09-24



Ted's new theme song.

#6  Cruz stated to "Vote your conscience". Well, Apparently the whole world wanted him to "State his conscience". Now that he has, can we please move on to the General Election?

#5  Senator Cruz decided what was most important to him, and will act on it. Part of what is important to him turned out to be not splitting the Republican party over this issue. He needn't love the candidate he votes for to accomplish his goals.

Probably the majority of those who go to the polls this election will be voting for what they conceive to be the lesser of the evils, as will be those who cannot bring themselves to vote for either presidential candidate but still vote in the down-ticket races.

#4  Hmmm - let's see what Cruz actually said:

"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,"

...and:

"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," Cruz said in the statement. "A year ago, I pledged to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that commitment."

There's a difference between endorsing a candidate and saying you're voting for him. Lots of 'wiggle room' here, folks. Just sayin'.

#3  I give credit to Ted for meeting his commitment after the rancor and bile he had to swallow following the debates. Kasich, for all your loud noise about integrity....Bush..., Carly... time to man-up and prevent the most corrupt, criminal, venal, dishonest Presidential candidate in modern history from being President. The Republic is genuinely in grave peril folks!

#1  Theme song link fixed by removing the quotation marks around the URL. Sometimes, for reasons that passeth understanding, those quotes cause trouble.
