From the (oxymoron alert) principled conservative who said this:
"I'm not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father," [Sen. Ted] Cruz told members of the Texas delegation. "That pledge was not a blanket commitment that if you go and slander and attack Heidi that I'm going to nonetheless come as a servile puppy dog and say, 'Thank you very much for maligning my wife and maligning my father.'" (our emphasis)We now have this:
"After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump," Cruz wrote in a Facebook post. (our emphasis)As Charles Pierce put it,
Sit, Ted. Beg. Now roll over. Who's a good servile puppy dog?
And, yes, you may have another.There was more justifiable mockery:
"Ted Cruz and his conscience amicably part ways"
Vote your conscience even if your conscience tells you to vote for people who humiliate and degrade your family.— Brian Beutler (@brianbeutler) September 23, 2016
Wow, turns out I respect Ted Cruz' wife & dad more than Ted Cruz does.— John Fugelsang (@JohnFugelsang) September 23, 2016
very concerned about the potential Cruz endorsement of Trump because if Cruz is anything it's loved and respected— maura quint (@behindyourback) September 23, 2016
And, we end with this, yet another lie from neo- fascist moron Donald "Rump" Trump (spoiler alert: he did accept Lyin' Ted's endorsement yesterday):
