In four years Kasich and the other Republicans running are going to hammer Cruz on the endorsement. As soon as Secretary Clinton is elected the dogs will turn on Trump. Given what has come out and the wrath of the Republicans, Trump is going to be as popular as Quisling or Mussolini at the end.

A huge strategic mistake by Cruz.

...but Cruz claims to have been spending recent months agonizing over the qualifications of a rabid TV clown.

Fuck Cruz and his candidate.

The reason he turned tail is simple - he is afraid that “a Kenosha political operative,” Priebus could destroy his ambition for power(Thanks Kasich).

He is a fool and a moron with no principles whatsoever.

According to Politico, Priebus alluded to the fact that the party might block all future aspirations for Kasich if he doesn’t play ball. Kasich’s campaign issued an official statement Sunday essentially telling Priebus, “F*ck you.”

“Thankfully, there are still leaders in this country who put principles before politics,” Kasich advisor John Weaver said in the statement. “The idea of a greater purpose beyond oneself may be alien to political party bosses like Reince Priebus, but it is at the center of everything Governor Kasich does.”

He then went on to call Priebus insulting Priebus’s home state of Wisconsin, and proclaiming that he should be thankful for Kasich for being a candidate with “an inclusive, conservative vision that can actually win a national election.”
