Cruz’s Announcement to Endorse Trump Should Not Be a Surprise

Let’s rewind back to July when Ted Cruz gave his speech at the RNC Convention…

“….vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom, and to be faithful to the Constitution.”

Got it? As I argued this non-endorsement speech was in fact an endorsement unless YOU, the hardcore Trump supporters, who were enraged with Cruz, were in fact admitting Trump WOULD NOT defend freedom or be faithful to the Constitution!

It was abundantly clear then as it is now Cruz would go with Trump because Hillary, like obama (and ALL progressives), HATES freedom and the Constitution. Cruz’s speech in July made a solid argument against Hillary so what other option as a politician and runner-up for the GOP nomination would Ted have? Gary Johnson, a democrat in libertarian clothing! C’mon America I know the majority of you are asleep but you’re not in a coma.

Now Cruz followers do have a right to be angry because left out of this announcement Ted never explained what his pivot point was. Reason being Trump took some very nasty personal shots at his wife and father. Did the two meet or have a phone conversation where an apology was given? We don’t know and probably never will. Regardless if you’re surprised by this announcement you have reading/ listening comprehension issues.
Cruz made it clear in July what he would do.

This election is unlike any other in our nation’s history. Like many other voters, I have struggled to determine the right course of action in this general election.

In Cleveland, I urged voters, “please, don’t stay home in November. Stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket whom you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.”

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.

I’ve made this decision for two reasons. First, last year, I promised to support the Republican nominee. And I intend to keep my word.

Second, even though I have had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, by any measure Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable — that’s why I have always been #NeverHillary.

Six key policy differences inform my decision. First, and most important, the Supreme Court. For anyone concerned about the Bill of Rights — free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment — the Court hangs in the balance. I have spent my professional career fighting before the Court to defend the Constitution. We are only one justice away from losing our most basic rights, and the next president will appoint as many as four new justices. We know, without a doubt, that every Clinton appointee would be a left-wing ideologue. Trump, in contrast, has promised to appoint justices “in the mold of Scalia.”

For some time, I have been seeking greater specificity on this issue, and today the Trump campaign provided that, releasing a very strong list of potential Supreme Court nominees — including Sen. Mike Lee, who would make an extraordinary justice — and making an explicit commitment to nominate only from that list. This commitment matters, and it provides a serious reason for voters to choose to support Trump
