http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/23/politics/ted-cruz-endorses-donald-trump/index.htmlTed Cruz endorsed Donald Trump for the presidency Friday afternoon, a stunning turn of events after a contentious primary filled with nasty personal attacks and a dramatic snub at the Republican National Convention.
"After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump," Cruz wrote in a Facebook post.
"A year ago, I pledged to endorse the Republican nominee, and I am honoring that commitment. And if you don't want to see a Hillary Clinton presidency, I encourage you to vote for him."
"I am greatly honored by the endorsement of Senator Cruz," Trump said in a statement obtained by CNN. "We have fought the battle and he was a tough and brilliant opponent. I look forward to working with him for many years to come in order to make America great again."

And very late in the game. And yet some people here still complain Bernie is not doing enough for Hillary.

Trump took that too.
Poor Ted. He's toast.

Teds a self-serving Bastard of the first order, but he's not an idiot. He KNOWS Don will lose and lose (probably) huge. He's hedging his bets and that's all.
