Multiple sources close to Ted Cruz say the Texas senator is expected indicate his support for Donald Trump as soon as Friday.It is unclear whether Cruz will say only that he is voting for the Republican nominee, as other lawmakers have done, or offer a more full-throated endorsement, but the idea of throwing any support to Trump is controversial within Cruzworld.“If he announces he endorses, it destroys his political brand,” said someone who had worked for Cruz's campaign.Steve Deace, a prominent conservative Iowa radio host who was a major Cruz backer, also tweeted Friday that the senator would endorse Trump. A spokeswoman for Cruz did not respond to multiple requests for comment.Trump’s former primary foe has so far refused to back him, going so far as to tell Republicans to “vote your conscience” at the Republican National Convention. Since then, Cruz, who may face a primary challenge in 2018, has come under mounting pressure to get behind Trump, though many Cruz loyalists see an endorsement as unacceptable.Asked about a possible endorsement, Jason Johnson, Cruz’s chief strategist on the campaign, responded with a photo of himself, with his hand over his face.
Its because he knows that Trump is gonna win. Needs his support if Cruz ever hopes to win an election again.

He's been fuzzy on the details and prone to gaffes that make Biden look presidential. He has to overcome both. Maybe Hillary will have a seizure or something. That's really his only hope. Like her or not, trust her or not, her speeches and debates do have details his lack.

I'm still asking why Tuesday?Pollsters (At least reputable ones) aren't going to take a poll Monday night to release Tuesday like people seem to think. If there's any bounces/declines thanks to the debate, it won't be that noticeable until later this week/into early next week.

Ultimately it'd be like burning your house down because you don't like it. No matter how much you hate your house, it's still yours and you're comfortable there. Yeah, some will carry that torch of discontent. But enough to win? Not likely. Remember, Trump has many republicans voting against him.
Cruz caves in and decides to endorse Trump
