Clearing the air here.
I'll post Ted Cruz's exact words and then add the excellent article I read today.
Ted is doing exactly what we expected he should do - speak at Convention, furthering his vision for Conservative principles moving forward.
This is NO endorsement of Donald Trump. Trump capitulated, as he could not bully Ted Cruz into endorsing him, nor could be bully the Ted Cruz's supporters.
"As Cruz seems disinclined to endorse Trump, drawing the ire of Mike Huckabee and Megyn Kelly, in fact, he gave an outline of what he intends to speak about

Quote:
"I'm gonna urge Americans to get back to the Constitution, to change the path we're on. Eight failed years of the Obama-Clinton economy. Eight failed years of a presidency disregarding the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Eight failed years of a commander in chief not protecting America and keeping us safe from radical Islamic terrorism. It's time for that to end, and so I'm going to do my very best to point to the policies and principles that we should be unifying behind and that give a better direction to this country going forward," he said.

A Model For Ted Cruz’s Convention Speech
All of this has a familiar echo. A vanquished primary opponent using a speech at the winner's convention to remind disenchanted voters of who they could have nominated. It is Ronald Reagan in 1976.
If he sulks in his tent during this campaign, by 2020 many will have forgotten about him. If he gives a speech that overshadows Trump... and my dog can do that... he will create a reputation that will only grow over the next four years.
