Presidential race 2016

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, that "lyin' weasel" Ted Cruz announced today that he will vote for that "pathological liar" Donald Trump. Those are among the kinder ways the two described each other during the primaries.

Cruz reportedly took the opportunity to get in line with the Republican base when Trump announced today that he would nominate Mike Lee to the Supreme Court (Lee says he's not interested, but Cruz is a fan of Lee).

Cruz also cited the fact that he considers Hillary Clinton wholly unqualified to be president as one of his reasons for finally giving in and getting behind Trump; 'only Trump can stop Hillary', he says.

I respected Cruz's decision to stand his ground at the Republican Convention. But, political analysts say that, even if Trump loses, Cruz and his team figure it will probably be better for him to have kept his promise to support the party nominee when he's up for senate re-election in two years and likely runs for president again in 2020.

I don't know how much Cruz's support helps Trump at this point, but it sure can't hurt in terms of positioning Trump as able to unite the fractured party.
