Responding to false reports that conservatives are wavering in their support for Senator Ted Cruz for President, five of the conservative movement’s most prominent leaders have issued statements reiterating their support for Cruz and calling on conservatives to unite behind the Texas Senator.
Richard Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com whose career at the national level of conservative politics spans over 50-years said, “Reports that conservatives are wavering in their support for Senator Ted Cruz are simply false. Ted Cruz is the only full-spectrum conservative in the race, the only candidate who can defeat Donald Trump and the only candidate who can unite all six elements of the Republican coalition to defeat Hillary Clinton.”
“The idea that conservatives will shift their support from Cruz to Rubio is preposterous given Marco Rubio’s many betrayals of the conservative movement going back to when he served in the Florida House,” observed Viguerie. “Senator Rubio’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens, his support for the Obama-Hillary Clinton disasters in the Middle East, and his long record of supporting big spending and intrusive government has rendered him unacceptable to key elements of the conservative coalition that elected Ronald Reagan and powered Republicans to historic victories in the 2010 and 2014 elections.”
Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council recently said there isn’t “a snowball’s chance” that he will support Rubio. He also said any suggestion of Cruz’s allies abandoning him are “lies from the Rubio camp.”
“Ted Cruz’s record on religious liberty, life, and marriage is second to none in this Republican field,” said Dr. James Dobson, founder of Family Talk Radio. “I continue to believe that Ted Cruz is the candidate for president who has the moral and spiritual foundations to lead our nation with excellence. I continue to urge conservatives and people of faith to support and vote for Ted Cruz for President.”
Yet, some reporters, such as National Review’s Tim Alberta, have persisted in pushing their own story that mass defections of conservatives to Rubio are imminent. Alberta’s story specifically named Richard Viguerie, Tony Perkins, Bob Vander Plaats and Ken Cuccinelli – all of whom flatly deny Alberta’s false assertions (Alberta did not check his reporting with anyone named in his story prior to publishing his story).

The sad thing is that all of this seems to be working in Rubio’s favor. Trump gets by with it. I don’t understand why, after all the years we’ve asked for a true conservative they WON’T support the one true conservative.
If there are a lot of democrats who’ve come over to vote in the republican party primaries, I must warn everybody that this doesn’t mean they’ll vote for him in the general.And the fraud issue. If left unaddressed, Trump is not going to change. He denounces Cruz, but the one who yells the most about it is the guilty party.
Pray for righteousness to be restored and for the peace of Jerusalem
