Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has announced that he
will vote for Donald Trump in November, explaining his decision as a matter of
policy differences with Hillary Clinton, more than two months after declining
to endorse the Republican nominee at the convention in Cleveland.
"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 published Friday afternoon, adding that he made
the decision to keep his word that he would support the Republican nominee.
Cruz added, "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."
After breaking down his policy-based
decisions, Cruz wrote, "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."
Has Cruz exonerated himself after it was rumored he would run as a democrat to replace Hillary just to keep Trump from becoming President?
However, according to a source who attended the meeting,
Cruz refused to endorse Trump and, instead, threw a bombshell that left most of
the Republican attendees speechless: Ted Cruz plans to run against Donald Trump
after all. Truth be told, he didn’t vow to do it, he merely suggested the
possibility. And according to the source, the only way that would ever be
possible is if it turns out the rumors are true and Hillary Clinton is
prevented form running against Trump on account of her deteriorating health.
Asked to verify the allegations made
by one of the attendees, who requested anonymity, Cruz initially seemed
genuinely surprised, but later said, “I figured it would get out sooner or
later. Might as well be sooner.” “It’s true,” the Texas Republican senator
revealed, “I did make that proposition. And I made it for one simple reason –
there is no way I am giving up on stopping Donald Trump from running this great
country into the ground. And if I have to switch over to the Democrats to do
it, then so be it.”
