LYIN’ TED

It’s official — Ted Cruz is a putz!
I imagine that no one feels worse the day after Hempstead than the Texas Senator. Senator, you held out, held out and then…caved endorsing the man you called a sniveling coward. The man who insulted your wife and accused your father Oswald’s accomplice.
The man you said was more Democratic than Hillary Clinton. Your BFF, Senator Lee (R-UT) wouldn’t endorse him — even after being offered nomination to the Supreme Court.
The lesser of two evils, you said. Can a matter of conscience be unconscionable? I guess it can.
You crashed in Cleveland and now, for some reason, you believe in divine intervention and redemption in September. It doesn’t work that way, Senator. God will forgive you your earlier transgressions, Donald and his troop will not.
You were better off standing on principle, than claiming conscience and conversion. Few found your rumblings at the Republican convention other than rude. Granted I don’t like the nominee, but even I wouldn’t accept his invitation and then proceed to trash him at his own party — before his supporters and millions of viewers. That’s just plain rude. My mother taught me better than that. I’m sure your mother taught you as well.
You didn’t fool anyone in Cleveland and you’re not fooling anyone now. All you’ve managed to accomplish by flipping and flopping is to turn yourself from a rude but principled opponent to Donald’s b..atch. I don’t think that’s the type of change agent you saw yourself to be. The kettle is hungry and you are the entree.
Your new BFF flamed on Monday — he may yet win in November — but you won’t. The odds of your cruzing to victory in the 2018 senate race have just flipped — or is it flopped — in any opponent’s favor. Having lost standing in the conservative community will make your run for the roses in 2020 orders of magnitude more difficult. Stupid and rude may be forgiven. Treason will not.
You will be forever known as Trump’s chump. Well, I guess some good has come from your endorsement after all.
