I really shouldn't so much right now but this is making my stomach hurt from laughter.

Lyin' Ted Cruz crawls groveling back, endorses Trump

I'm betting the RNC just turned the screws on him. Its one thing for them all to go down together, but when he was trying to play the solo game and rise above them all like a genius in the event of a Trump loss. His colleagues hated him way before that, but surely that doesn't help and at some point you can't just go it completely alone. Especially, if they are all gonna band together and help you not get re-elected. (Stuff like Trump talking about launching a super pac against him)
Edit:
Also, it makes perfect sense, seems Donald Trump is on the up lately and has a better chance of winning, Ted is nothing if not an opportunist.

Ted Cruz endorses the man who attacked his wife's appearance, questioned his citizenship, and alleged that his father was involved in the Kennedy assassination. What conviction. Well, he must have done it for a good cause -- oh yes, the United States' #1 security threat is on the ballot, Donald Trump. How could he keep himself from endorsing the most clear and present danger to our collective safety? How could he live with himself if he did not make clear his support for someone who hates American democracy -- someone who has advocated for the murder of his political opponents, the beating of protesters, and the idea that the elections are rigged against him? Truly an emblem of sound intellect and character.

Ted Cruz said:
It's interesting how we've managed to have a blossoming energy renaissance under the very same administration that is relentlessly trying to crush the oil and gas industry.

Wiah, that was close. For a minute there I almost thought Cruz had character.
Thank goodness, just another tool who wants that taxpayer paycheck.

I can't believe that pretty much all of the republicans ended up falling in line for Trump

So on FB you can configure it so that HaHa likes don't show up? I'm sure there are several thousand of them under Cruz's post, including mine.
EDIT: I guess it's because there are so many, you have to click "You and 43K others" to see them all. Less than 350 HaHa's?! Well, I suppose it's not really that funny.

YES IT IS
Does anyone in that party have any principles anymore?

Of course he does. And there goes the little respect I had for him. What kind of person would do this after your wife was attacked for her looks, and said your father helped kill someone.
I guess Bohner was right, Lucifer in the flesh alright.

And what little integrity he had left. My god the GOP is a shit show
Allright this is my dream political cartoon for this moment.
Trump is Xerxes with a droopy gut and uneven spray tan covering his body, a golden ball and chain anklet with "Trump U" and the court date written on it
Ted Cruz is Ephialtes with a giant lip booger.
Trump is speaking to a group of self proclaimed deplorables, some of whom have Bernie or bust shirts on.
Trumpxes: "Unlike the cruel Crooked Hillary, who demanded that you stand, I require only that you kneel."
Ted Cruz is hobbling into frame going "...can I kneel too?!"

Pathetic. Even the few that make a show of "meaning what they say" flop back into line soon enough.

The number of "Only Jeb has a spine" comments are hilarious and also explains why Kasich got fourth in a three man race!
Also poor Lindsey Graham also gets no credit for "There'll come a time when love of country will trump hatred of Hillary".
That said fuck Ted Cruz for being a spineless coward.
Nah Rand's been shilling for Trump for a while now.

I can. They're the literal party of hate and bigotry. It's not like they disagree. They just didn't want trump being the chosen one.

That someone out there was able to force someone as hopelessly self-serving as Cruz to fall on this sword is pretty terrifying.
Whoever it was must've had Cruz pants-wettingly spooked because this is a suicidal move from any angle.
The post-mortem tell-alls are going to be legendary.

What a spineless loser Ted Cruz is. He took a stand for two months and what...? Just now decided to eat shit, willingly? Fucking hell...
I really don't understand how blind party loyalty just allows Trump's support to swell. The man has literally done ZERO public service in his life and all these people with political careers are lining up their reputations to support him. I don't understand how things are going his way when he's clearly been a greedy, despicable monster of a human being his whole life. It's like he found a genie when he was 17 and figured out how to get a million wishes out of him.
So which notable Republican figureheads are left that claim they're not supporting Trump? Just the Bushes? Which, I'm not sure I buy. They can say all they want that they're not voting for Trump but I firmly believe in the privacy of the voting booth they'll cast their Republican vote like the loyal servants they are.

Mitt Romney is not supporting Trump and probably won't change his mind.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the man is so slimy that he can't even keep his own slimy word as he was being slimy during the convention.
The damage is still done, this will net Trump zero additional votes.

No matter how many times I see this, it doesn't get old XD

listen to the mad man
32 years is 8 elections, which means 1 in 256 people guessing by flipping coins would be right every time; more if you assume someone doesn't guess on blowout elections where it's not even close.
There's an old story, I don't know if it's based in reality or an urban legend, but there's a guy who wants to run a financial scam. He picks a bunch of different stocks and faxes out faxes saying that the stocks will rise, thousands of faxes for each stock. Then, whichever stocks rise, he sends new faxes to those people with different random stock picks. After a few rounds of this, there are only a few people left who got all the right faxes with the right stock tips. Then, he faxes them a sales pitch for his stock advice. If even one person buys in, which they will--because how could one guy get all this right?!--he makes a mint on the scam.
Making matters worse, this appears to be a qualitative system he's come up with, and almost all of his variables are impossible to measure and rely on "gut checks".
What is a serious contest?
What is a significant third party? He counts Johnson as one because if you take polls and arbitrarily cut them in half but no further that's a number that's arbitrarily high so it counts.
Ridiculously specific; fragile and vulnerable to alternative specifications; also multicollinear with short-term economy and unlikely to be cleanly identified in a regression setting
errr (this is apparently a failure for the Democrats because the ACA doesn't count because it was too long ago)
errr
errrr
errr
errr (note: the professor codes this as a "failure" for the Democrats because Iran, Cuba, and winding down Afghanistan and Iraq don't count)
Give me a break. Edit: Turns out that Genius Mr. Professor plays loosy goosey with who he considers charismatic
And the guy, in the end, hedges on his prediction. Not "I am uncertain because there is uncertainty in polling or information", but rather "the system is always right but what if we didn't interpret it right then we could be right but still be wrong, right?"
No it's not. What is scientific about this?

dat Washington Post headline
"Ted Cruz and his conscience amicably part ways"
How appropriate it is, by the way, that the top 2 trending topics on Twitter right now are Ted Cruz and The Exorcist.

Cruz is an idiot.
Trump shits on him so bad. Insults his wife. Insults his father. Insults him. And Cruz comes crawling back?
Spineless coward. It's pretty hilarious though, I have to admit. This only guarantees that he'll be sunk when Trump loses.

Trump's sycophantic idolizers will quickly disperse after the cold, swift hand of reality slaps them square across the face. They'll find something else to occupy their time with.
Instead, Trump's only lasting legacy will be his systematic demolition of the entire GOP infrastructure. Every sitting public official from Paul Ryan to Ted Cruz to no-name county clerk will be forever branded with the scarlet letter "T" for the rest of whatever brief shelf life this massacre will grant them.
