Should Cruz Endorse Trump? The Senator’s Supporters Say ‘OH HELL NO!’
With Marco Rubio’s journey towards the dark side complete, all eyes are on Ted Cruz to see if he will bow to the Trump chocolate bunny as well. I’ve already written my own analysis of why I believe this would be a tremendous mistake, not just morally but (especially) politically, so this time I decided to pose the question to Cruz supporters on Twitter. And let’s just say opinions here aren’t exactly varied.
A hefty 83 percent of them said “no” when asked if they thought Cruz should endorse Trump. But it’s not the dominant sentiment that should get the Texas senator’s attention as much as the emphasis. Cruz supporters don’t just seem to be overwhelmingly against him supporting Trump, but like really overwhelmingly against it. Like I’m against canned spinach. Like Chris Christie is against self-dignity. Like Ben Carson is against not being a willful pawn. Like Barack Obama is against the rule of law. Like Hillary Clinton is against transparency.
But don’t just take my word for it. I’ll let those tweets speak for themselves for the rest of this column:
@SteveDeaceShow It would be completely & unforgivably out of character for @tedcruz to support Trump. He won't bow to the mocking hedonist.

@SteveDeaceShow @tedcruz Absolutely not. If Ted supports Trump, then conservatism is truly dead.

I will lose a great deal of respect for @tedcruz if he endorses Trump. He would also lose my support in the future. https://t.co/SwWqXIvpkx

@SteveDeaceShow @tedcruz If Cruz did endorse Trump, I'd have to crawl in a hole & seriously rethink everything I've ever believed.

@SteveDeaceShow PLEASE @tedcruz NO, NO, NO! Please leave us hope that there are principled men left in the world. #NeverTrump

Any candidate who sides with Trump will lose many liberty loving, Constitutional Conservative voters.— Bill (@arjundawg) May 27, 2016
And there’s more where that came from, but by now I think we get the picture. (For more from the author of “Should Cruz Endorse Trump? The Senator’s Supporters Say ‘OH HELL NO!'” please click HERE)
