Cruz lacks courage in endorsement of Trump

Ted Cruz showed his true stripes when he recently announced that he will vote for Donald Trump. What was revealed was a spineless politician who will say or do anything to further his own political ambitions.

This was not the action of a leader who stands up for his convictions and his country. It is a desperate attempt to mollify party leaders.

Whatever happened to "vote your conscience?"

Cruz's about face on Trump puts him in the company of numerous other Republican weaklings who are willing to knowingly throw the nation under the bus for the sake of party and personal political gain.

It used to be known as the "Grand Old Party" and it used to stand for the certain ideals. Now it's devolving into a loose bunch of pols with no common purpose other than to elect anyone who happens to claim the Republican moniker.
