Cruz uneasily debuts as Trump surrogate
Trump’s Statements against Hispanics, women and against religion in terms of Muslims and Cruz personality outrage the center-right RepublicansTed Cruz announced Friday he will vote for Donald Trump, a dramatic about-face that may help unite a deeply divided Republican Party months after the fiery Texas conservative called Trump a “pathological liar” and “utterly amoral”.
Other members of Trump’s “anti-LGBT team” include Tony Perkins, Michele Bachmann, James Dobson, Marco Rubio and Sam Brownback. “We will have a tremendous victory on November 8th”. In an effort to stop the transfer of ICANN to an worldwide organization, Cruz has used the negotiations over the budget. After the applause died down, Cruz recounted how he had told Caroline and Catherine about Trump’s April retweet of a fan who had mocked their mother’s looks. The list included U.S. Sen. US oversight has kept the Internet free and open without government censorship – a fundamental American value rooted in our Constitution’s Free Speech clause.
Trump accepted Cruz’s support, describing it as an “endorsement” in a statement.
The flip-flop was a stunner since the Texan was booed during a floor speech at his party’s convention for urging Republicans to “vote your conscience” without naming Trump. “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, ‘” he recalled.
The about-face – after Mr. Cruz told Republican delegates to vote their “conscience” at the party’s national convention in July – also came after Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said the party could make it more hard for such holdouts to run for office and as talk of a possible primary challenge to Mr. Cruz in 2018 has surfaced. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton faced rival with Bernie Sanders trough the preliminary elections.
Mike Lee wasn’t going to let Ted Cruz down. Cruz, whose Washington career began when he was Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist’s clerk, explained that the fate of the Supreme Court was a strong reason for staying with Trump. “For anyone concerned about the Bill of Rights – free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment – the Court hangs in the balance”.
Saying Lee “would make an extraordinary Supreme Court justice”, Cruz noted how the campaign promised Trump would only consider names from the list if he had to fill a vacancy on the high court.
“We lost our leader today”, Mr. Tyler told NBC News.
“We don’t know exactly what has happened”.
Trump has repeatedly attacked Cruz, not just politically but personally.
Cruz, a managing director, was head of the Houston office past year when she took unpaid leave to help with her husband’s ultimately unsuccessful campaign. The headline numbers: Hillary Clinton leads Trump by two points in both the two- and four-way races with likely voters, and the two candidates are tied in both cases with registered voters.
Cruz concluded his remarks by declaring, “Our country is in crisis”. Hillary Clinton is manifestly unfit to be president, and her policies would harm millions of Americans. “And Donald Trump is the only thing standing in her way”, he added. But he passed on chances to say that Trump was “fit” to be president and to take back some of his most notable attacks delivered just a few months ago. He had refused to endorse Mr. Trump at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in July On his part, Mr. Trump had said he does not need Mr. Cruz’s endorsement.
