Hours after getting booed for not endorsing Donald Trump in his primetime speech at the Republican National Convention, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said he wasn’t going to be a “servile puppy dog” to the party’s nominee given Trump’s personal attacks against him during the primary season.
“I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father,” Cruz told his state’s GOP delegation at a breakfast in Cleveland Thursday morning.
Trump’s former GOP rival, who like the rest of the field signed a pledge during the primaries to support the party’s nominee, said that agreement was “abdicated” when the brash real estate mogul mocked his wife, Heidi, and suggested that his father was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Good for him. I wouldn't support somebody who went directly after my wife. Cruz took a direct blow to the face, but he kept his principles . That makes alright in my book.

Cruz PAC attacks Trump, Trump swings back.
All is fair in love, war and politics.
Good bye, Ted Cruz. Big mistake.
He's desperately trying to ease the blow of his latest **** up with the ones who might save him from career death due to his very public suicide speech and failed campaign.
Cruz's supporters attacked Trump's wife. Trump attacked Cruz's wife. That's not 'swinging back'. It's essentially saying that if my friend punches you, and you punch me, you're defending yourself even though I've done nothing to you.
It's ridiculous.
I know that's good for cover.
Don't do it Hatuey, don't defend Cruz. :2razz:
When Ted Cruz is the only person making sense, there isn't much of a choice.
Lol, Cruz will be in politics long after Trump loses the election.

I'm not sure about that. I think war has rules.
He will be seen as a traitor to his party. Not to be trusted.
P.S. Did he apologize to Trump for his PAC posting nude photos of Melanie? Should he have? Are you capable of an honest answer here? We'll see.

Disagree. Ted Cruz has a lot of people who still back him even after refusing to endorse Trump. And after last night's narcissistic scream-fest and today's manic bathsalts news conference, who can blame him?
Isn't that what people are looking for though? Outsiders who aren't always beholden to the party, when it requires supporting things you don't believe in?
Regardless. Cruz is still very popular in Texas and should easily be able to keep his seat there for as long as he wants. Which is unfortunate, because I really don't like a lot of Cruz's politics.

If he keeps his support in Texas, yes. He may not keep that support if Trump wins, or even if Trump loses. If the voters in Texas blame the loss, even in part, on him - he's toast and he knows it. Thus this excuse fest before the TEXAS delegation.

Yea technically they did and not he.
With that said, it would be hard for me to believe that they act truly independent of the candidates campaign.
Were you actually talking about Trump's news conference??? I can't believe you are. I'm speechless. It was a breath of fresh air. How can you and I hear the same words and be such polar opposites? I'm stunned.
I welcome evidence showing otherwise.
The power of incumbency. It surely doesn't serve citizens.
