Vote your CONSCIENCE, unless Reince Priebus tells you not to. Ted Cruz for President 2020!

The funniest quotes on Twitter and elsewhere, of course, were from Republicans who said "If he does this (endorse Trump), he will kill his political brand."

And yes, they were the same Republicans who said "If he doesn't do this (endorse Trump), he will kill his political brand."

"I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father," Cruz said. "That pledge was not a blanket commitment that if you go and slander my wife that I am going to come like a servile puppy dog for maligning my wife and maligning my father." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/23/9-truly-awful-things-that-were-said-between-ted-cruz-and-the-man-hell-now-support-donald-trump/)

Isn't it amazing how quickly we can learn new habits?

i actually had some respect for cruz

not that i would ever ever vote for the jerk

but i did respect him for maintaining his revulsion for what trump is and stands for.....

he seemed to actually stand for something....

but alas my interpretation of the universe is to normal

he is just a spineless hack ruled by his corporate overlords like the rest of the gop
