I prefer to call them "stubborn", but many of the same ones will vote for Hillary because they don't "like" Trump.

If he loses it won't hurt Cruz. It might in the immediate term, but not for 4 years. I posted this on Facebook yesterday and I think it will prove to be spot on ...
A certain radio host today said it best, when you win the nomination it is your job to build a coalition of disparate factions to get on board and vote for you. I am seeing a lot of people say that this was political suicide for Cruz when he did precisely what (another poster) said he did - stated basic conservative core values and didn't endorse Trump. That was about the best Trump could expect given the circumstances. By 2020 people won't remember this. Today, however, Trump and his supporters need Cruz and his supporters more than Cruz needs Trump supporters. Cruz is out of the race. He needs exactly 0 votes today. If every vote counts and Trump loses it won't be because Cruz supporters failed Trump, it will be because Trump ran a divisive campaign that alienated factions that SHOULD have been automatic votes and that, simply put, is bad campaign strategy.
Agree, Trump actually said publicly that he doesn't want or need the conservative voters (he knows it's BS, but he said it). Cruz is off the hook for Trump's results anyway as the Trump Camp is saying Cruz's speech united the party.
Video shows the whole incident. Someone in the Washington delegation shouted "traitor" at Ted Cruz during his speech, and Heidi launched a verbal barrage at him. He turns to see what the commotion is, because it was noisy on the floor, and she moves quickly toward him, shouting at him to shut up, and other stuff meant to defend Teddy. Because she physically approached delegates, ignoring pleas to calm down, she was asked to leave the floor and go wait for Ted Cruz behind the stage, near the door where they (she and Ted) would exit the arena. Some shouts of "Goldman Sachs" could be heard from the crowd nearby, after she had already been asked to leave the floor.
That was it. There was no physical altercation of any kind. There wasn't even much of a verbal exchange. In other words, much ado about nothing.
It's nice to see so many people coming around to vote Trump. I been on the train since he annouced because we need a businessman to run things and shake up washington. All you have to do is look at his exceptional children to see he will be a good leader. Loved his speech even though it was to long.
DJT is not what the media portray him as. He loves the country and is not a racist, bigot or any other name the media calls him.
As for Ted Cruz, he's done in politics. Love his policies but he has shown his personal animosity against trump is above the country.
yes, he seems especially presidential starting around 21:30 here

Cruz couldn't endorse a liberal for the Rep nomination, a liberal who repeatedly slandered and attacked not only him but his wife and family.
It's a testament to Cruz's character that all he did was not endorse the man.
I disagree with Cruz on many issues (warmongering in particular), but I respect his character. If it was political suicide to not bow to Trump against his conscious, then it's not worth it to be a politician.
Bottom line.....Cruz gave his word and DID NOT keep it!!! I would not trust him now if he shook my hand and looked me in the eye. Evidently, Cruz thinks there is some middle ground in giving your word and not keeping it! It is like being pregnant. You CAN NOT be a little bit pregnant....you are or you are not. You either keep your word or you do not!! Cruz did not!! His credibility is now ZERO!! So....screw him and the horse he rode in on!!!
There are definitely ways and reasons to go back on your word that are perfectly legitimate. Personally, the stuff Trump said doesn't meet my standard for it; but it definitely meets Cruz' standard. If anything, just reiterates he is too much of a wuss to actually face some adversity and pushback.
Time to focus on beating the satanic witch now.
Looks like their game will be hate played with race cards over and over and...
We could see it coming when the BLM people started getting sympathy while dead policemen were being second guessed by our POS POTUS. Lot's of white voters crossed over to vote for Obama both times, but I don't believe they will cross over to vote for hate and class warfare pushed by sheeple leaders.
Yep, this one will be the ugliest in my lifetime.
