Cruz
supports Trump with his vote
To keep his promise to support the Republican Nominee, Cruz
says he will vote for Trump. He lists all the reasons to vote against
Mrs H.Clinton and for Donald Trump. He encourages everyone to vote for Trump also. Donald J. Trump
graciously praises his decision and calls him a great man. Beck says he is disappointed—Cruz will speak
to purists on Glenn Beck’s radio show Monday.
“I’ve made this decision for two reasons. First, last year, I promised to support the Republican
nominee. And I intend to keep my word.
Second, even though I
have had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, by any measure
Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable — that’s why I have always been #NeverHillary.
“Six key policy differences inform my decision. First,
and most important, the Supreme Court. For anyone concerned about the Bill
of Rights — free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment — the Court
hangs in the balance. I have spent my professional career fighting before the
Court to defend the Constitution. We are only one justice away from
losing our most basic rights, and the next president will appoint as many as
four new justices. We know, without a doubt, that every Clinton appointee would
be a left-wing ideologue. Trump, in contrast, has promised to appoint justices
“in the mold of Scalia.”
For some time, I have been seeking greater specificity on this
issue, and today the Trump campaign provided that, releasing a very strong list
of potential Supreme Court nominees — including Sen. Mike Lee, who would make
an extraordinary justice — and making an explicit commitment to nominate only
from that list. This commitment matters, and it provides a serious reason for
voters to choose to support Trump.
Second,
Obamacare. The failed healthcare law is hurting millions of Americans. If
Republicans hold Congress, leadership has committed to passing legislation
repealing Obamacare. Clinton, we know beyond a shadow of doubt, would veto that
legislation. Trump has said he would sign it.
Third, energy. Clinton would
continue the Obama administration’s war on coal and relentless efforts to crush
the oil and gas industry. Trump has said he will reduce regulations and allow
the blossoming American energy renaissance to create millions of new
high-paying jobs.
Fourth,
immigration. Clinton would continue and even expand President Obama’s
lawless executive amnesty. Trump has promised that he would revoke those
illegal executive orders.
Fifth, national
security. Clinton would continue the Obama administration’s willful
blindness to radical Islamic terrorism. She would continue importing Middle
Eastern refugees whom the FBI cannot vet to make sure they are not terrorists.
Trump has promised to stop the deluge of unvetted refugees.
Sixth, Internet
freedom. Clinton supports Obama’s plan to hand over control of the
Internet to an international community of stakeholders, including Russia,
China, and Iran. Just this week, Trump came out strongly against that plan, and
in support of free speech online.
These are six vital issues where the candidates’ positions
present a clear choice for the American people.
If Clinton wins, we know — with 100% certainty — that she would
deliver on her left-wing promises, with devastating results for our country.
My conscience tells me I must do whatever I can to stop that.
We also have seen, over the past few weeks and months, a Trump
campaign focusing more and more on freedom — including emphasizing school
choice and the power of economic growth to lift African-Americans and Hispanics
to prosperity.
Finally, after eight years of a lawless Obama administration,
targeting and persecuting those disfavored by the administration, fidelity to
the rule of law has never been more important.
The Supreme
Court will be critical in preserving the rule of law. And, if the
next administration fails to honor the Constitution and Bill of Rights, then I
hope that Republicans and Democrats will stand united in protecting our
fundamental liberties.
Our country is in crisis. Hillary
Clinton is manifestly unfit to be president, and her policies would harm
millions of Americans. And Donald Trump is the only thing standing in her way.
A year ago, I pledged to endorse the Republican nominee, and I
am honoring that commitment. And if you don’t want to see a Hillary Clinton
presidency, I encourage you to vote for him.
