Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID) may have become the third senator to endorse his colleague Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for president on Wednesday, according to Politico.
But he’s not sure.
Risch told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he would not be supporting frontrunner Donald Trump.
Cruz is the only choice, he said.
“Obviously, [John] Kasich is so far behind that it’s impossible really for him to get the numbers, so by process of elimination that gets you to Ted Cruz,” Risch said. “At this point, there’s no choice.”
Blitzer said Cruz is also endorsed by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Mike Lee (R-UT).
“Did I just endorse, Wolf?” Risch asked.
“I don’t know. You sort of said I prefer him over the other two. That sounds like an endorsement, doesn’t it?” Blitzer said.
“I guess it depends on your definition,” Risch said.
It’s a stampede!!
“I guess we’ll have to vote for this guy. Even though it makes us throw up in our mouths a little.”
Endorsing…resigned to. It’s all the same, really.
how many drugs washed own by how much alcohol does one have to consume to consider sCruz a colleague…
I know I know… serving in the Senate technically makes them colleagues but it doesn’t mean you have to consciously acknowledge it…
When your own peers hate you this much, I have to wonder how much power a President Cruz could possibly wield. I’m guessing Nixon literally had more support in his last week in office—there were 15 Senators who wouldn’t have voted to convict. Does Cruz have 15 friends in the Senate? Hard to imagine.
Wow, some endorsement, yet it still beats the ZERO Senate endorsements savored by Bernie Sanders!
