Dan Patrick Warns Ted Cruz Will Be Left Behind for Not Endorsing Trump

[TexasTowelie]

Speaking on The Laura Ingraham Show on Monday, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick warned U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz will be left "in the rearview mirror of the Republican Party" if he doesn't endorse Donald Trump.

Cruz came under fire from Republicans earlier this year when he refused to endorse Trump during a primetime speech at the Republican convention in Cleveland. Patrick had been somewhat quiet about Cruz in the weeks following the convention, when speculation mounted that Cruz's refusal to endorse Trump would earn him a primary challenger in 2018.

But when Ingraham asked about Cruz and other Republicans who won't support Trump on Monday, Patrick said he was "disappointed."

"You know, I stay loyal to my friends, and Ted’s a friend, but obviously I’m disappointed," Patrick said. "I’m hoping there’s still time for him to come forward, or I think he and all the other people you named will be left in the rearview mirror of the Republican Party moving forward. So I’m hoping Ted comes forward. I’m visiting with him on that issue, of course.”

1. not very bright politically

if Dan Patricks think that he does not have a very good political instinct. Trump is going to get blown out and lose . Reince Prebus will be tar and feathered and carried out of town. Ted Cruz will be left standing in the gop. They will rally to him.

3. Totally agree, he was a POS sportscaster and my opinion has gone down in the

Years since. He tried a sports bar, hired workers without proper papers and he has backed Ted Cruz.

5. Just...

When you think it can't get any better, it does. Further proof, the Republican Party is dead, it's just not buried yet. The self-righteous one attacking the self-appointed anointed one. WWJD?
