Default Cruz Sent Packing

So Ted Cruz decided to not endorse Trump last night in his speech at the RNC. Personally, I liked Cruz in the primaries. I did not vote for him as he was going to lose anyway so I supported the leader and obvious "to be" victor, Trump. I prefer a Constitutionalist over any party candidate, but Cruz broke stride, and broke the written vow he signed. He has died to me. I always have allowed for mistakes as I am far from perfect, but this was blatant disregard for Republican Americans across the country. The RNC is a place to unify Republicans and Cruz not endorsing Trump left a void as he had the second highest vote count in the primaries. Politicians like Cruz help divide the Republican party, and will help Hillary gain momentum towards victory.

Cruz gave a news conference this morning in front of the Texas delegation, and he didn't let up. He Trippled down on what he said at the RNC last night. He's still upset about how Trump attacked his wife and father. I'm not sure if Cruz will survive this, politically. I have to agree. he's done.

I watched him on FOX too...He can go to hell. There is nothing personal about endorsing your party's candidate, so Cruz should be able to draw a line between personal and politics. Cruz made this a personal issue, and stabbed us and the Republican party while doing so. No news station is talking about the RNC, the stories are about Cruz. None of it is good. I have an opening for a guy to put the blue discs in urinals at one of my companies. I am going to send Cruz an application.

What a sell out...... Good way to turn your back on your fellow Republicans.

Some of the media pundits are speculating now that Cruz is betting on Trump to lose... and lose big... which would set him (Cruz) up for 2020. If Trump loses by a small margin, then they can claim it was because the full GOP party didn't do their duty and support him.

Most interesting..... <Hey, we need a popcorn icon>
