President Donald Trump let bygones be bygones Monday with his former rival presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, praising the Texas Republican before heading to Houston to rally
for him.
When the two men were duking it out for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, Trump famously hurled insults at Cruz, christening him with one of Trump's signature monikers: "
Lyin' Ted." Trump also went after Cruz's family, suggesting Cruz's father was involved in the John F. Kennedy assassination and targeting Cruz's wife Heidi for her appearance.
But the president made a reversal of his past insults as he prepared for his highly anticipated rally in support of Cruz's Senate reelection campaign. "He's not Lyin' Ted anymore. He's
Beautiful Ted," Trump said. "I call him Texas Ted."
Still, when asked if he regretted his comments about Cruz's father, Trump demurred and played the comments off as part of a "very, very nasty and tough campaign."
"I don't regret anything, honestly," Trump said. "It all worked out very nicely."
Trump spoke while leaving the White House for Houston, where he will rally in support of Cruz, who faces a challenge from Rep. Beto O'Rourke. O'Rourke has captured national
attention for his strong showing against Texas conservatives who have dominated the state's politics for decades. Last quarter, O'Rourke raised more money than any Senate
candidate in a single quarter in American history.
But Trump was not impressed. Responding to reporters Monday, the president dismissed the viral candidate while reasserting his support for Cruz.
"I think Beto O'Rourke is highly overrated," Trump said. "When I heard about him, I thought he must be something special, he's not."

The immediate subservient groveling performed by Cruz towards Trump is genuinely one of the grossest political outcomes I've seen in my lifetime.
Doesn't matter if he said your dad murdered a man, he's still the President and one foul tweet is the kiss of death to any Republican that crosses him.
Trump himself confirming his campaign was nasty as fuck doesn't surprise me
Trump’s definition of beautiful is a dude who eats tonsil stones
texas ted soon to be texas toast come the midterms
Urghghgh, having experienced the utterly PUTRID taste of tonsil stones myself I physically recoil every time I remember Ted did that.
Oh this is mainstream now? Awesome I prefer mine medium rare with barbecue sauce and peppercorn! How would you guys serve it?
It was only thanks to Ted that I figured out what in God’s green earth I hacked up at one time.
And I was horrified.
Having a politician insult his wife and then Cruz sucking up to him as soon as he stands to benefit sincerely destroys my opinion of him. I mean, my opinion of any GOP politician is pretty low but Cruz is not even a man. He is spineless vermin.
I love that the sentient sack of wasps was basically forced to kiss the ring of the man who spent months insulting every single facet of his life.
You’ll have plenty of time to puke at the thought of him eating boogers in retirement.
Oh boy do we have to repost all those past tweets that show you completely ripping Ted a new one?
The level of self serving gameplaying here is completely transparent. Trump is so bad at this, he does it with literally no tact or grace, but he just keeps getting away with. When he's against Ted he'll ridicule him and go as far as to call his father a serial killer and defame his wife, when he's on his side he's immediately the best guy ever better than that no good Beto. And Ted will suck it up like the spineless coward he is.

just trying to get on the zodiac killer's good side so he doesn't get killed
Cruz is such a worm. I could agree with all of his politics (I don't) and I'd still vote against him. Return to the earth little worm.
You know, I've seen a lot of fucked up shit in my life. Unimaginable stuff. To the point where it doesn't even affect me anymore. But that just made me stop eating, christ
"I think Beto O'Rourke is highly overrated," Trump said. "When I heard about him, I thought he must be something special, he's not."

In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Ted
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
But he said it didn't matter, he was after Texas Ted. After Texas Teeeeed...
