    Ted Cruz to Endorse Donald Trump?

    Ted Cruz warming up to Donald Trump, aides suggest he may endorse him

    http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/pol...y-endorse-him/

    I hope Ted Cruz does it.. The guy is smelling a Trump victory By not endorsing he would break his pledge and be forever an outcast.

    I would be entertained to watch him endorse him by name and then see how he tries to snake away from the endorsement come mid terms.

    Cruz is Tronald's best good friend according to Cruz. Half his campaign was riding Trump's coattails.

    I've never really understood all the disdain for Cruz. Yes, I know his birther stuff is an issue but over all he is very conservative and has co-sponsored stuff with Rand.

    On all of the conservative stat sites he is always very high up. On the link below, he is #4 right under Mike Lee.

    Because of this (among other things):

    Because, in my opinion, everything he does is so blatantly calculated and is not done on principal but rather for political rationale. His snake-like voice reminds me of a Dastardly And Muttley cartoon.

    And that's pretty much it. His campaign was all yeah, we have problems here, and conservative principles might work......

    Never was a fan- but over-all he seemed more principled than Trump. I was kinda blown away at Trump seeming more viable than Cruz, whose voting record is quite conservative.

    Know what you mean about the voice, though. Can't stand Trump's, either.

    There is more to a politician than voting record and rhetoric, although those things are very important.. I thought Cruz was the least trustworthy candidate up there, he comes off as very sleazy. I don't know whether he believes the stuff he says or if he adopted it for political power, but if he believes it, then it still seems like all he is interested in is political power. Not to mention he had some serious issues in the foreign policy department.

    I don't know what Trump's motivations are, but at least he comes off as doing it out of a selfless desire to help the country - even though he has some serious problems in the domestic policy department.

    Actually Trump already said that Iran was the reason why he is running, his son also said it.

    Its because he is a lying douche bag politician. I hope endorses Trump, again reversing himself and breaking his word not to endorse because he was defending the honor of the wife that he cheats on.

    By Reine Preibus vowing to punish any 2016 Presidential candidate who doesn't endorse Trump, he essentially provided cover for Ted Cruz to endorse Donald. No matter what, I want to see Ted Cruz replaced in 2018 with a real Constitutionalist.

    2018 is going to be tough, but if someone down there can raise around $20M, it could be a very interesting primary.

    Cruz’s campaign manager: He’s impressed with Trump’s new discipline and thinks about endorsing every day

    Signs like this Cruzer shift and recent bubbling furstrations that caused SWC Obama's insult-gate scandal point to an impending hostile takeover of WH by Trumpster and his supporters. Overheating scandal was probably a major earthquake.

    Any real limited gov't, Tea Party type, Constitutionalist would already have a head-start after Cruz's refusal to endorse Trump nor stand by his pledge. This past election brought out quite a few skeletons for Cruz. If Texans knew in 2012 that Ted Cruz was getting sweetheart loans from Goldman Sachs to fund his campaign and the extent of his wifes relationship with Goldman and CFR, or that Cruz would place neocons and Goldman and CFR members on his campaign, they would have given Cruz a second thought. Maybe more Texans are woken up to Ted's fake evangelical-like sweet talk and his double-speak. After the RNC quite a few Texas delegates were turned off of Cruz and enough Texans were displeased enough to put Rick Perry ahead of Cruz in a hypothetical 2018 primary poll. Maybe things could change. No matter what though, I'm convinced Ted Cruz is a trojan horse to the Tea Party and a Bush neocon lackey.

    If he's reelected, he will almost certainly run for POTUS again. Probably the same with Rubio.

    I'm afraid so. I think Cruz and Rubio are still useful pawns to the establishment and 'New American Century' neocons.
    I think even if Cruz doesn't win his re-election, he still stands a very good chance of being tapped for the Libertarian Party nomination in 2020.

    If Rand Paul runs in 2020, and Ted Cruz lost his 2018 re-election, the chances of Cruz running in the LP will be even higher.

    Cruz could also align with the CP with minimal effort.

    I think it'd be far less likely, considering the LP seems to be the more major 3rd party player regarding ballot access, media coverage, and campaign finance. The LP is already warming up to people like Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush. Their entire reason for bringing Bill Weld on was to cater to these anti-Trump Republicans. Ted Cruz and his "vote your conscience" speech are already a shoe-in for the audience the LP is attempting to reach.

    Yeah, that's why the Bushes took turns talking about how much they hated Ted Cruz.

    Ted Cruz is not a libertarian but he is actually fiscally conservative and that's more than enough for me to back him over Rick Perry.

    if Ted Cruz ever joins the LP I will laugh SO hard.

    Speaking for myself, Cruz brought a degree of legitimacy back to the hyper-apocalyptic heresy that has flooded most of the Mid-Western states (Dispensationalism), and was the most directly responsible for Rand Paul's campaign losing all of its traction. Your worst enemy is usually within your midst, nay, at your right hand.
