Trump for president

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't think what Cruz did is anywhere near as big a deal to the general public as it was to the convention attendees last night. Remember, they're the same people chanting "build that wall!", "lock her (Hillary) up!", and proclaiming that Hillary Clinton is like Lucifer and should be shot on a firing line for treason.

A radio host in my area said that what Cruz did is political career suicide. I also read somewhere that Cruz was going to run in 2020, whether Trump was president or not.

Maybe he needs his meds adjusted or something?

I've heard others say that too, cannongal.

I think Ted Cruz is an incredibly smart and uber ambitious mofo. He's also a political vampire and I don't agree that he committed political suicide.

If Trump loses, no one will blame Cruz's non-endorsement, there are too many other blatant reasons for Trump to lose and Cruz isn't that powerful. The fact that he didn't bend over and endorse Trump will work in his favor as he attempts to position himself as a man of principle and the leader of the conservative Republican party reconstruction effort (it'll be Cruz vs. Ryan).

If Trump wins, Cruz has four years to strategize and position himself as the man who can either undo the presidential missteps of Donald Trump and save the party, and/or the person best qualified to capitalize on the accomplishments of President Trump while also promising to "make America moral again". That's how I imagine it, anyway.
