Here is the link to the Cruz speech

[AntlerCollector]

This election is unlike any other in our nation’s history. Like many other voters, I have struggled to determine the right course of action in this general election.

In Cleveland, I urged voters, “please, don’t stay home in November. Stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket whom you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.”

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.

I’ve made this decision for two reasons. First, last year, I promised to support the Republican nominee. And I intend to keep my word.

Second, even though I have had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, by any measure Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable — that’s why I have always been #NeverHillary.

Six key policy differences inform my decision. First, and most important, the Supreme Court. For anyone concerned about the Bill of Rights — free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment — the Court hangs in the balance. I have spent my professional career fighting before the Court to defend the Constitution. We are only one justice away from losing our most basic rights, and the next president will appoint as many as four new justices. We know, without a doubt, that every Clinton appointee would be a left-wing ideologue. Trump, in contrast, has promised to appoint justices “in the mold of Scalia.”

For some time, I have been seeking greater specificity on this issue, and today the Trump campaign provided that, releasing a very strong list of potential Supreme Court nominees — including Sen. Mike Lee, who would make an extraordinary justice — and making an explicit commitment to nominate only from that list. This commitment matters, and it provides a serious reason for voters to choose to support Trump.

Second, Obamacare. The failed healthcare law is hurting millions of Americans. If Republicans hold Congress, leadership has committed to passing legislation repealing Obamacare. Clinton, we know beyond a shadow of doubt, would veto that legislation. Trump has said he would sign it.

Third, energy. Clinton would continue the Obama administration’s war on coal and relentless efforts to crush the oil and gas industry. Trump has said he will reduce regulations and allow the blossoming American energy renaissance to create millions of new high-paying jobs.

Fourth, immigration. Clinton would continue and even expand President Obama’s lawless executive amnesty. Trump has promised that he would revoke those illegal executive orders.

Fifth, national security. Clinton would continue the Obama administration’s willful blindness to radical Islamic terrorism. She would continue importing Middle Eastern refugees whom the FBI cannot vet to make sure they are not terrorists. Trump has promised to stop the deluge of unvetted refugees.

Sixth, Internet freedom. Clinton supports Obama’s plan to hand over control of the Internet to an international community of stakeholders, including Russia, China, and Iran. Just this week, Trump came out strongly against that plan, and in support of free speech online.

These are six vital issues where the candidates’ positions present a clear choice for the American people.

If Clinton wins, we know — with 100% certainty — that she would deliver on her left-wing promises, with devastating results for our country.

My conscience tells me I must do whatever I can to stop that.

We also have seen, over the past few weeks and months, a Trump campaign focusing more and more on freedom — including emphasizing school choice and the power of economic growth to lift African-Americans and Hispanics to prosperity.

Finally, after eight years of a lawless Obama administration, targeting and persecuting those disfavored by the administration, fidelity to the rule of law has never been more important.

The Supreme Court will be critical in preserving the rule of law. And, if the next administration fails to honor the Constitution and Bill of Rights, then I hope that Republicans and Democrats will stand united in protecting our fundamental liberties.

Our country is in crisis. Hillary Clinton is manifestly unfit to be president, and her policies would harm millions of Americans. And Donald Trump is the only thing standing in her way.

A year ago, I pledged to endorse the Republican nominee, and I am honoring that commitment. And if you don’t want to see a Hillary Clinton presidency, I encourage you to vote for him.

[Gunnyart]

Ted is correct as always.

[Saltyag15]

Good to see. I don't want to start anything, but I wish this scenario was the other way around, and Trump was endorsing Cruz for president...but I'm glad that he will begin campaigning and talking about Trump in a positive light.

[Man]

sadly....I will also be voting for Trump.

Hope Josh Flourney didn't have a coronary after hearing this news

[texan16]

How much money did Trump pay Cruz to say those things and to get an endorsement. Im glad it happened, but I dont think Cruz just woke up this morning and decided to make the statement. JMO.

[BuckRage]

He's in the same boat millions of us are... What can you do..

Supreme Court Justice Ted Cruz!

[WItoTX]

Lol, hardly an endorsement. More like I will just vote for the least bad candidate. Unfortunately, I am in the same boat. Two democrats running sucks.

[Tmag]

I'm gonna have to think about this for a long while.

I mean, it was just a few days ago that Daddy Bush said he is voting for Hillary.

I'm torn now on which way to vote.


















































































































































































NOT!!!

[DRT]

Well put Ted.

By his own admission, he would rather have Hillary than vote for Trump

I honestly think that he has weighed the options. He said he would back the Republican nominee and he said for everyone to vote their conscience. He is in the same boat as millions of Americans. We have the choice of Hilliary or Trump. I honestly don't think either one will be a good president, but I do hope that Trump will at least pick a safer Supreme Court Justice. To me, this is what the election is about. This is the one choice that will really choose what path the USA will head down

Trump is ahead in Ohio, without Joshua's help.

None...thats illegal....

But, I bet Teddy got some free nights at one of Trump's hotels...and was also promised an endorsement by Trump down the road..

That's funny...Trump's been a staunch supporter of republicans for most of his life, has he left political parties when he didn't like what was happening? Sure, but so have many politicians before him.

[ttaxidermy]

Ppfffftt.

[Chew]

I doubt there is an overwhelming number of people that were not going to vote for Trump who have now changed their mind due to this endorsement.


YAWN

[Rack Ranch]

I wish Ted had made it to where Trump is...

[Booger74]

As bad as Trump is Hilary is 1000X worse.

Apparently "most" is anytime after 2004?

Don't let his statements get in the way of reality though right?

Now that's funny!

[Warrant]

I wonder if Ted's decision is based on the fact that Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus warned there could be consequences for former presidential candidates who don't endorse their party's nominee.

No endorsement, no chance in 2016

Not even. He admitted to voting for BHO in 2008.

YAWN

My thoughts exactly

[Speedgoat]

I'm really amazed by folks still calling Trump a Democrat. You should do more research and see the people he is assembling around him.

Quit making sense, you'll make the argument stop.

I'll quit when trump supporters quit attacking people they think should vote for him. For example, say I actually liked trump and wanted him to succeed. Instead of calling republicans who don't like trump idiots, or tell them they better get on the trump train, and if you aint voting for trump, your voting for hillary, I would say something like, " did you see hillary d*** near died on September 11th?" Or "did you know hillary is supporting black lives matter?". Or even better, "did you see hillarys IT guy was posting on reddit how to delete emails off a server?"

But no, 90% of trump supporters have 0 ability to make a convincing argument. So people like me get stuck between the lesser of two evils.

I think he woke up this morning and realized that evil witch may actually win the election. Cruz sucked up his pride and endorsed Trump because he's a never Hillary guy!

[tps7742]

As the old saying goes Cruz is a day late and dollar short!! IMO he would have been better off sticking to his original stance. Also YAWN!!

[UltraMax]

Screw Cruz. I voted for him in the primary but he lost my respect and I will not vote for him for senator when he runs again.

Can't get much more precise than this comment!!

[retrieverman]

Well, I'm voting for the republican nominee for president but will never cast another vote for lying Ted.

His stunt at the RNC just showed his true colors....he's done politically as far I'm concerned.

I bet Cruz never voted for BHO, whatcha wanna bet?

[ladrones]

The headline about Beck on the lead of Breitbart is terrific.

NOT!!!

He is senile and she is ****** that Trump handed Jeb his butt on a platter! It would not matter who was running because Jeb is the one that got beat, so they are mad. Now if the younger Bush comes out and says he and his wife will vote for Killary, I will loose every bit of respect I have for both of them. Just my opinion.

[Beargrasstx]

Ted will continue to get my support.

Yes!

[Mudslinger]

Would love to see Cruz as a Supreme Court Justice!

This is the biggest threat to our liberties is if Killary wins, she will pack the court with very, very liberal justices that do not give a rats butt about the Constitution.
