Trump says he'll campaign for Ted Cruz at "biggest stadium in Texas we can find'

[polychronopolous]

In a tweet Friday, President Donald Trump announced that he’d be coming to Texas in October to participate in “a major rally” for U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican incumbent facing a tougher-than-usual challenge this year against Democratic U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke of El Paso.

“I will be doing a major rally for Senator Ted Cruz in October. I’m picking the biggest stadium in Texas we can find,” Trump tweeted Friday afternoon. “As you know, Ted has my complete and total Endorsement. His opponent is a disaster for Texas — weak on Second Amendment, Crime, Borders, Military, and Vets!”

Cruz previously said he hoped the president would make a trip to Texas prior to the 2018 midterms. Donald Trump Jr., the son of the president, is also planning to visit the Lone Star State in September to campaign with Cruz, The Washington Post reported.

The rally will bring together two former political adversaries. During the 2016 election cycle, Cruz and Trump were pitted against each other in the GOP primary for president. During the race, Trump suggested during the 2016 presidential election that he had "dirt" on Cruz's wife and that Cruz's father was connected to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Cruz condemned Trump's statements at the time as "classless," calling him a "coward." Cruz later angered many Trump supporters by telling attendees at the national GOP convention to "vote your conscience" rather than explicitly endorsing Trump.

Since Trump was elected president, Cruz has proven to be a strong ally. And Trump's administration has warmed to Cruz. In January, Vice President Mike Pence called the senator "the pride of Texas." And ahead of the March 6 primary elections, Trump tweeted his support for eight Republican statewide elected officials — including Cruz.

Cruz previously warned fellow members of the GOP to prepare for a volatile race this cycle. His opponent, O’Rourke, has significantly outfundraised him and recent polls have shown a single-digit race between the two men. On Tuesday, Club for Growth, a big-spending national conservative group, announced it putting together a seven-figure ad buy against O'Rourke.

[Straw Man]

I assume Cruz will remind the crowd that Trump is a pathological liar who is also a narcissist  and also a bully who accuses everyone else of lying and is utterly amoral and smeared and attacked his wife.

I doubt he'll do that. Probably boost each other up and give lots of credibility to the party by talking about relevant topics and addressing real issues.

Boy that's a tense looking handshake.

I think that was right towards the end when Cruz was the only one somewhat challenging him.

Ya think?

I hope Trump does some of his classic hits and hopefully he'll finally spill the beans on Ted Cruz's wife

Cruz is such a scumbag that it's amazing that Trump didn't choose him for VP

Cruz pegged Trump accurately when he was running against him. Trump accused Cruz' father of being involved in the JFK assassination, retweeted an unflattering picture of Cruz' wife. Yet.. Cruz is willing to eat his man card, kiss Donalds ass and welcome him with open arms because he would rather be a Senator than a man with self respect. Sad!

In order to get elected, and then re-elected, Obama and Biden said they believed gay people shouldn't marry.

well there we have it. An even scale. Trump pisses on Cruz' fathers name, insults his wife, refers to him as Lyin' Ted, and that is the equivalent of your example.

Not even close to being even. The Republicans have an actual platform to run on, the left have "socialism" and repealing the tax cuts..lmao

You're right.  They're not equivalent.  Obama and Biden are much worse.

Obama had a position change. He was pro marriage, he was anti marriage and he went back to pro marriage. Absolutely he factored in his base and more than likely took a position that was favorable.

Ted Cruz' father was accused of participating in the assassination of a President, called liar and lyin, his wife was slandered and he still pretends now he loves Trump. Yep.. Obama was much worse

It was much, much worse on Obamas part you partisan hack.  What Trump said was against 3 people, Cruz, Cruz's wife and his father. Obama's was against millions of people and affected a whole group in their day to day lives. To compare the two is laughable but expected by a guy who is as bad or worse than the people he accuses of being right wing nuts.

Correct, Obama and Biden were much worse.  No question about it.

Never knew you cared so much about gay people being able to get married

Since when does an simple Venezuelan care about gay marriage in the United States

Will Jerry Jones allow this to happen at his stadium if they ask?

You dense rightwing nut. The conversation is about Cruz and Trump. Its about a man who Trump lambasted now kissing his feet. It's about no pride, no manhood, no ethics. Doing whatever it takes to get re-elected even if it means sucking up to Trump who made up nonsense about his dad. The other is typical politics

In all honesty, mudslinging is typical politics.  Not sure if I would take Trump's handout if I was Ted, but if he wants to hold onto his job and keep the Republicans (his constituency) in the drivers seat, maybe he's willing to look the other way.  Exactly why I am not a politician.  I think City Council or maybe state delegates there is still some level of altruism, but on the big stage it's all about holding onto or gaining power.

I hear ya. There is mudslinging during a campaign. That is to be expected. Trump took it to a new personal level "Your momma" type place. Cruz is recorded more than once saying what a Narcissistic sociopath Trump is and yet... even with the Wife and Father insult.. is ready to kiss his ass. Like you, I'm not in politics, mainly because I am not that great a public speaking and have other things to do, but also because I'm not willing to eat crow to that extent.

Ok fake cop. You are just like the people you despise but can't see it because of your delusion. And yes fake cop, Obamas flip flops on gay marriage were much worse than Trumps claims on Cruz. One was against an entire community of people, the other dirty politics, business as usual.
