This. Johnson and Weld are WAY too left-wing on social issues for me to envision Cruz voting for them, though it would clearly be a protest vote.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves.

If it's Johnson, why wouldn't Cruz endorse Johnson?

I'm assuming he wants to run in 2020 so he probably doesn't want to alienate too many people by nominating another candidate even if he doesn't endorse Trump.

I wouldn't be shocked if he voted for Clinton since the ideal plan in his mind is probably for her to beat Trump and then for him to beat her.

Given that it's Texas, Cruz will write in Cruz knowing that Texas will never be the tipping state. If it's close enough to matter, Trump has lost the election.

How do you know this? He hates Trump with a passion, just like Jeb Bush and most of the other Republicans who were running this year.

Ted Cruz is not Jeb Bush, not even close. He hates Clinton too, he's not anything like establishment politicians who coddle up to safe choices for predictability and power. I'm not claiming to know his personal decisions, but its pretty clear a Clinton vote is so ridiculous for him.

I don't know who Cruz will vote for, but like Newt Gingrich said, if Ted Cruz is interested in voting for someone who will uphold the Constitution, he won't be voting for Hillary Clinton.

And knowing that orange-hair is worse than Hillary based on that criteria, Cruz definitely won't vote for donald trump.

Even if Texas were close, Cruz would never vote for Trump.

Ted cruz only cares about himself, and Hillary winning helps his career, so Hillary obviously.

If Cruz was going to vote for Trump in the end, what's the point of dragging it out like this?  Why not just say so now?  Same applies doubly to folks who've gone farther than Cruz and explicitly ruled out voting for Trump, like Charlie Baker, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and Christine Todd Whitman.

Trump has been the presumptive nominee for two and a half months.  It's the week of the convention, and Trump has been officially nominated by the party now.  If these guys had any intention of voting for Trump, they probably would have said so by now.  So no, while there will probably be a few exceptions, I don't expect most of these guys to vote for Trump.

If anything, I think the reverse phenomenon will be more common: Republican politicians who publicly endorse Trump because they think it's the politically safe thing to do, yet secretly end up voting Clinton or voting 3rd party.
