Cruz Just Issued Stunning Announcement About Trump That Will SHOCK Many Republicans
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz says the past week’s personal attacks that have spilled mud over the wives of the two leading Republican presidential candidates have caused him to re-evaluate his prior commitment to support Donald Trump if the billionaire becomes the GOP’s nominee. “I don’t make a habit out of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my family, and Donald Trump is not going to be the Republican nominee,” Cruz told the Texas Tribune and other media outlets on Friday. Just as Trump blamed Cruz for a Super PAC ad that featured a 2000 magazine cover that showed Trump’s wife nude, Cruz blamed Trump for a National Enquirer article accusing Cruz of infidelity.
