Too late for the GOP to dump Trump, and Ted Cruz is getting SLAMMED on Twitter for his "endorsement"

https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/784568112419069952

He's posting many pious statements about the dignity of women and his Tweets are being met with "BUT YOU ENDORSED HIM AFTER WHAT HE SAID ABOUT YOUR WIFE AND FATHER."

Poor Ted. He was just too high strung.

Among other things, such as the RNC's own rules, voting has already begun, they know if they try to dump him, his supporters will go ballistic, maybe even violent. At minimum out of spite, they'll stay home or block vote third party which could seriously hurt the down ticket.

GOP presidential candidate tells The Wall Street Journal 'support I'm getting is unbelievable'

Updated Oct. 8, 2016 11:59 a.m. ET

Donald Trump, under pressure to step aside as the Republican presidential candidate after the disclosure of his having made lewd comments about his advances on women, said in an interview on Saturday with The Wall Street Journal that there is “zero chance I’ll quit.”

“I never, ever give up,” Mr. Trump said. He also insisted his campaign isn’t in crisis: “The support I’m getting is unbelievable, because Hillary Clinton is a horribly...

a few more days, this video would have given him the perfect excuse to withhold a public endorsement.

In fact, it would have made Ted Cruz even a little more sympathetic in people's eyes.

"See, what I told you at the RNC Convention and all this time during the primaries was true, wasn't it?"

But now, he flushed his career down that Access Hollywood bus bathroom.

A weakling who will (grudgingly) sell his dignity and principles just to... well, what did he do that for? I have no idea.

Night night, Ted. Hope your presidential run in 2032 is as unsuccessful as this one has been.
