Cruz’s Broken Pledge

And a weird sop to the racial-grievance industry.

CLEVELAND -- Ted Cruz did the Republican Party no favors last night when he pointedly refused to endorse GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, breaking a promise he and other rival candidates made at the outset of the primary campaign last year.

And yet – after meticulously laying out the case against another 4 to 8 years of leftist tyranny -- he refused to endorse the one man who can put an end to our long national nightmare.
 
Cruz wasn’t driven by principle, but by ego. He can’t accept the fact that the party chose Trump over him......To Read More...
