    Cruz never fully repudiated Trump and always left himself an "out" to endorse should circumstances change. Media over-hyped the schism.

        The Mercers and various other Cruz financial backers probably warned that they'd permanently shut off the spigot if he continued to hold out

        Cruz is a skilled lawyer who expertly tailors his shtick to whatever crowd he's before. It was a superficial schism.

        It was a notable event, but the political significance was blown way out of proportion.

        "I am not in the habit" =/ "I hereby pledge to never endorse Trump" ... remember, he's a Harvard-trained litigator.

        Trump could still lose in a historic landslide. Maybe he's proficient enough a litigator to salvage his career from that? @mtracey @fmanjoo

        "Downplaying" wouldn't have been the right response either, I'd prefer "accurately, proportionately, and soberly depicting"

        It's a fair question; I wasn't there. Obviously warranted coverage, but required knowledge of the broader context of Cruz's tactics

        He wants to trade his endorsement for a favor?

        Media may be over-hyping the endorsement too. Will be interesting to hear Cruz wordsmith his way through it.

        The main "attraction" of #Cruz was his non-parsing, non-Clintonian CLARITY. This turns him into another sleazy pol.
