Saying he won’t act as a “servile puppy dog”, Ted Cruz on Thursday morning told a Texas delegation he won’t vote for Hillary Clinton but isn’t ready to support Donald Trump, after “maligning my wife and maligning my father”.

Cruz, for his part, used the speech as the foundation for a fundraising email for his Senate campaign on Wednesday evening: “Will you stand with me by making an immediate donation $5, $10, $25, or whatever you can afford today?”. Because Ted Cruz has decided that he knows better?
