Memo to Deluded Sore Loser Ted Cruz : Trump Does Not Need You
By Liz Peek – Fiscal Times
Let’s be honest. Ted Cruz wants Hillary Clinton to become president, so he can run against her in 2020. He assumes that if Democrats hold the Oval Office for an unusual four more years, voters will tire of liberal policies. They will also tire of Clinton, who will assume office as an extremely unpopular president. Enter Cruz, who sees himself as the future hope of the GOP.
That’s his vision, and his ambition. And that is why he chose to accept a speaking slot at the Republican convention but did not endorse Donald Trump. For this, he should be branded unpatriotic. He knows that the next president will appoint one and possibly three or four Supreme Court justices in the next few years; if that president is Clinton, the liberal agenda of Barack Obama and his successor will set the country’s path for decades to come. That means that decisions on immigration, energy policy, health care, financial regulation, labor rules, voting rights and so much more will be determined by a liberal court.
This is Ted Cruz’s decision, and his perfidy. His backers should ask them themselves, how can Cruz be a man of principle if he is willing to put his own ambition ahead of his country? The answer is, he is not a man of principle. He cozied up to Trump early in the primary season, when it was useful to him, and then ended the bromance when it became inconvenient. If nothing else, creating a negative sideshow at the convention was not the act of a gentleman.
Cruz is, instead, a sore loser. He won a total of 559 delegates, against 1,543 for Donald Trump — almost three times as many. That’s not close. Hillary Clinton topped Bernie Sanders 2,807 to 1,894. By comparison, the Democrat race was a squeaker.
Not only is Cruz a sore loser, he is a deluded loser. Somehow, he thinks that the voters’ clear preference for Trump was a twitch, a goof, and that given a second chance, they will realize their error and hoist him up on their shoulders instead. Sorry, Mr. Cruz, no such luck. You may consider Trump to be an imperfect candidate, and indeed he is. His unfavorables are high, and he is an amateur. Nonetheless, he did better than you, and will likely also outscore you in facing off against Hillary. Trump said Friday that he doesn’t want your endorsement and wouldn’t accept it if offered. Put plainly: He doesn’t need it.
