I was a Cruz guy from the beginning...

God no ... in fact I guarantee that had Trump lost fair and square to anybody, he'd still have run independent/third party.

Splitting the vote, which would far be worse than just refusing to endorse.

So...

Cruz > Trump ?


I keed, I keed.

I don't understand all the hubub. The guy gave a decent speech and the next day explained why he didn't endorse Trump. Nothing wrong with not endorsing someone who was a dick to your wife. Now people far and wide are saying Cruz is a disgrace, that they're ashamed they ever supported him, that he's not a true Christian, that his political career is over. Seruously, what's the big deal?

He didn't hurt Trump. He didn't help Hillary. He didn't bad mouth anyone. He had the honesty to tell Trump he wasn't going to endorse. He spoke his mind, encouraged republicans to vote. So what he doesn't like Trump. Why in the world does anyone in this country care if he likes Trump? It truly matters nothing. But damn, people are foaming at the mouth over this.

The only thing Cruz did was make a whole bunch of people lose their minds over an insignificant issue. And that's not his fault, it's ours.

We all need to refocus on whats important...and it's not Ted Cruz's November ballot.

He signed a pledge to support the Republican candidate. If his word is negotiable, then he's not worth much at all.

Trump was a dick to attack Cruz's wife and father. I don't blame Cruz for refusing to overlook that. However, I believe he should have just been the bigger man and turned down the offer to speak at the convention. I also believe the speech helped Trump's run.

I believe this course of action would have been totally acceptable by all and viewed as the correct response...

Sanders concedes, throws support behind Clinton and is blasted.

Cruz stands his ground and does not support Trump. He gets blasted.

Yep politics.

What is this "pledge"? If an opponent attacks my wife and family...fawk'em. There are lines you don't cross. I'd see having Christie pissed at you as a badge of honor.

That said, I am not a fan of any of the five people above. I also know one side can do a lot more damage than the other.

And then he publicly retracted that after the personal attacks. Who said it was unconditional?

There are actual issues out there to get worked up about. The "pledge" is not one.

For the record, I take back that I said Cruz should have kept his word about the endorsement. I didn't know about all the stuff about his wife and father.

I hadn't been aware of that either, but still believe he should have just taken the high road and declined to speak at the event....

None of that matters anymore, it is VOTE FOR TRUMP or ALL OTHER VOTES GO TO HILLARY.
There is no fighting anymore. Time to vote.
Bicker about this if you want, Ted is yesterday's news.
Trump won fair and square, he is the choice of the people. I DONT GIVE TWO FLYING FU CKs about who the Republican Establishment wants as my next President.
If you are worried about a President Trump please PLEASE watch the DNC Convention all next week to see your future.
You back TRUMP or you don't. Simple as that now.
Thats all I'm gonna say about that.

Rant off.
