Ted Cruz does not endorse Trump Based on Principles
Aside from the issues and facts that Mark presents; what about the constitutional values we expect our presidents, our presidential candidates and our representatives to pledge unswerving dedication to...their fortunes, their most sacred honor or their lives to. Isn't that much more important than the "Party"?
I have to laugh even though it's a bit sicking, they booed when Cruz said: "Vote your conscience" "Vote for the candidate you trust and a candidate that will adhere to the constitution.
Kind of makes one think. By the way...that pledge?...was discarded March 29th by the Don himself...
We find ourselves here in these times because we haven't adhered to the constitution...have we not?

Go back to the original RNC debate. Cruz was asked at that time to say what he disliked about Trump. Cruz's response "I'm wearing a Trump tie." Then he chastised the moderator for trying to get the candidates to attack each other.
The political attacks started with Trump. He initiated them. He pushed them - especially through his media buddies like the National Enquirer. You support him if you want. I'm writing in someone else.
"he was encouraging people to vote against trump "
Quote me line and verse where Cruz did any such thing. He didn't. Good grief - its clear you didn't listen to Cruz' remarks nor even bother to read a transcript. It's beyond pathetic.
I understand you're a Trumpster. You've been one from the beginning. You're anti-Cruz. That's your choice. But at least be objective. Do your homework. READ about things before commenting. You'd end up having your shoes at the end of these conversations.
Not a big stretch.
DT doesn't need help with is ego.I do think DT would have the audacity to stand on the temple mount and tell the Jews they can thank/praise him for their peace. Yeah, I think he's that kind of megalomaniac.
"This is fine in business, not as POTUS when you have 320 million people counting on you. If he's elected and If he serves the people of this nation he will do good things, BUT if he has a choice between serving the nation or serving himself we're screwed."
I am entirely for self-interest, thats Objectivist, thats Conservative, AND thats entirely American. POTUS is not a job for self interests its a service job for the people of the US.

A Conservative would never have supported the Brady Bill. Trump did.
A Conservative never would have used his political connections to enjoy the fruits of eminent domain. Trump did - several times.
A Conservative never would have supported Hillary Clinton. Trump did.
A Conservative would have been able to cite actual powers relegated to the Federal Government by the Constitution. Trump only managed one of three (defense) while failing miserably on the other two (education and health).
A Conservative would support defunding Planned Parenthood. Trump won't.
A Conservative would stand for traditional marriage. Trump doesn't.
A Conservative wouldn't advocate continued use of Executive Orders. Trump does.
A Conservative would have taken the call to elect Constitutionalists in a campaign speech as an endorsement. Trump instead bristled.
"So the GOP are really Democrats if you want to really get down to it."
And finally you say something with which I agree 100%. Trump is a Democrat, now running against a Progressive (Clinton). There aren't any Conservatives to pick from.
And if you still want to stay on that "must endorse train", I'd agree with Cruz that before that ever happened Trump would have to apologize - not only for going after his wife, but for his father and the whole "lyin' Ted" mantra. That was way beyond politics. That was "nasty" - another word Trump used often against his opponents but which applies to him in spades.
Cruz chose to lie with swine and got dirty. What did he expect. Bernie knew he was dirty when he jumped in the slop trough. Smalll insignificant difference. What? Cruz thought he'd be treated special.
I notice that you chose to ignore my points about the Constitution seeming to matter to only one person - that person not being Donald Trump. That tells me you aren't nearly as interested in Trump's position as merely denigrating Cruz. That's all I need to know, really.
I would think you would be praising Trump then for his selfishness.
He has to give up his 757 Jet that is much nicer than AF1, he has to give up his helicopter which is way nicer than Marine one, he has to move out of his Gold plated Penthouse,, he gives up all the personal privacy and freedom he had to go where and when he wants without Government documentation around him. Before this run he was able to get on the phone and call any world leader he wanted to and probably get answered faster than Obama.
And before you say he gains for his ego how is that bad? Do you think a person with that level of ego would not work his damndest just to look at you and say TOLD YOU SO!!!
Believe I do recall reading that Cruz was playing up to the evangelical Christians at the time.
It was all, "Hey, Brother Believer, see how naughty Trump's wife is?"
Yeah, I'll grant Trump was more vicious. Hit Trump? Trump hits back harder. That is the way he is.
Yeah, he had every right to speak at the convention. Shoulda? .
DT is an opportunist and he's a businessman. He lacks principles and is entirely in anything for himself. This is fine in business, not as POTUS when you have 320 million people counting on you. If he's elected and If he serves the people of this nation he will do good things, BUT if he has a choice between serving the nation or serving himself we're screwed.
