Ted Cruz says he’ll vote for Donald Trump
WASHINGTON, DC (AP) – Ted Cruz says he’s voting for Donald Trump for president – a shocking about-face after he rocked the Republican convention by dramatically refusing to do so.
The Texas senator says on Facebook that he made the decision for two reasons. First, his promise to support the Republican nominee. And second, his belief that Democrat Hillary Clinton is “wholly unacceptable.”
Cruz finished second to Trump in a bitter primary and for months balked in offering support, despite his previous pledge to endorse the eventual Republican nominee.
Polls have since suggested that Cruz’s popularity was slipping nationally and back home in Texas, where he could face a primary challenger for re-election in 2018. SOURCE
Isn’t it amazing the effect a well placed threat can have on a politician? Candidates who don’t back Trump may not be allowed to run again, RNC chairman says.
Quite honestly, I didn’t think Reince Priebus had the *stones* to do it, but, I may have been wrong about him. Maybe Priebus has more to him than what was 1st thought.
Ted Cruz KNOWS that there are folks here in Texas that want to see him OUT of the U.S. Senate, I am one of them, and he also knows that there’s a good chance Rick Perry will run against him in 2018. Cruz is going to *walk the line* for the next 2 years.
Personally, I don’t trust Ted Cruz; I believe he’s a little slime-ball, and I don’t believe for one minute that once in the voting booth that he’ll pull the lever for Donald J. Trump, but that is not even relevant to me, he’s ONE VOTE, the important thing is that he supports Trump publically, loudly and with as much sincerity as he can muster.

One day after endorsement, Cruz refuses to say Trump is fit for the presidency.
Ted Cruz is a rotten little RAT BASTARD, just as I have always suspected…
