CRUZ ENDORSES TRUMP

Does this mean they are now besties? Not a chance!

By Bob Walsh

Ted Cruz reversed himself and on Friday decided to go ahead and endorse Donald Trump. Does this mean they are now best buds? No. What it means is that Ted Cruz is still a relatively young man and is certainly going to be a candidate again for President. He is disliked enough by the mainstream Republicans as it is. If he can at least say he backed his party's nominee, even though he disliked the man and had been dissed by him, publically and repeatedly, it will help him down the road.

Will it help Trump? Somewhat, yes. Will it be significant. That depends. If it gets him 10,000 votes and he wins by 9,000, yes. Remember a few thousand votes in the right precincts in Florida would have made Al Gore president instead of Bush 43.

What it means is that Cruz has joined the "Hold your nose and vote for Trump" crowd. Trump might be a jerk but Hillary would be a disaster. Sometimes in real life there are no good choices. Sometimes you have to go with the least bad choice. Cruz has now signed on to that premise. Welcome Aboard.
