Why now?  Did Priebus actually scare him with threats of excluding him from the 2020 debates?

Who does this leave as an honest contender on the anti-Trump right for 2020?  Ben Sasse?

Trump backed his internet proposal and the Lee for SCOTUS helped too

Honestly, after all that Trump did to him (and even moreso after his speech at the Convention), this just makes him look pathetic. I had a shred of respect left for him in that he was remaining firm to his principles, but now he's just another sellout.

Hopefully Kasich and Bush remain firm.

Cruz is finished. Holy, I didn't like Cruz before but  man this makes me HATE him even more. He would have surely rebound for 2020 but this quick of a reversal? Did Trump at least apologize to Cruz privately? Anyway, Republicans look like they will have a sane choice for 2020 since Cruz is out for the running.

Priebus reminded him of his sworn duty to the party.

No self-respecting man would sacrifice the honor of his wife and father to...oh wait...

Wow, I wonder what kind of medieval torture apparatus they applied on him to get him to yield.

Marco Rubio endorsed Trump long ago to whoever implied he didn't.
I don't care that Cruz did this. I begrudgingly  support Trump too. I want cruz to be a president, but a SCOTUS appointment by Trump could be good....
Cruz 2020 or 2024 though is ideal.

Really great news!  I commend Cruz for getting over their personal differences.  I probably agree with him much more than I agree with Trump on policy, but Trump's our nominee, and he is so much better than Crooked Hillary.  We need all Republicans to reunite to make sure Hillary Clinton never becomes President of the United States.

Our leaders and former leaders deserve our respect, even when they do ethically and morally objectionable things...
and yes republicans should unite....for now
and rid ourselves of Trump in 2020 (if he even runs for reelection)

You're fighting a losing battle, I'm afraid. "Respect" is not in the average Trump supporter's vocabulary.

I don't understand why he'd go through all of the trouble he did only to endorse Trump after all?

Let's dispel with this fiction that Cruz isn't just another D.C Republican trying to climb up the greasy poll.

I remember someone saying that Cruz tries to play the whole 'Texas evangelical movement conservative' when he's just a Reagan Republican, who worked for Bush in 2000 and failed to get on

"Personal differences"? Dude, seeing someone co-opt your political movement and remold it in their image goes far beyond "personal differences". As much as I hate the Tea Party, I honestly don't think that Cruz meant for it to become so blatantly white supremacist, and seeing Trump push it in this direction has probably, in his mind, relegated it even farther to the fringe than it had been before. This isn't a matter of "personal differences"- this is a matter of Trump taking advantage of all of the work that the Tea Party had done (as deplorable as that work was), and I think that Cruz legitimately hates him for that.
