Lukewarm spit. I believe it’s Lukewarm spit.

Lukewarm indeed. About the temperature of recently evacuated urine.

He also said residents of his state should make their own decision when it comes to how they vote next Tuesday.

“I urge every Hoosier to make up their own mind,” he said.

Hard to call that a Cruz endorsement. Sounds very much like Bernie’s endorsement of Hillary.

Is a political endorsement from a sitting Governor “I know what I’m going to do, you do whatever you want”?

I’d call that a full-throated, unconditional “Meh.” if ever I’ve heard one.

If you are a Christian you’re not supposed to go endorsing ‘Lucifer’ Cruz. Even a moron like Mike Pence hates himself for doing it.

In an appearance Friday on Greg Garrison’s radio show in Indiana, Pence praised Cruz for his willingness to “stand up for taxpayers,” for his “devotion and knowledge” of the Constitution, and for his anti-abortion record. However, his statement of support for Cruz was not the rebuke of Donald Trump that #NeverTrump-ers were likely hoping for.

If Michael Jordan left on his own terms, Mike Tyson left on Greg Garrison’s.

Garrison is the Indiana attorney who gained attention for an impressive 1992 courtroom performance, successfully prosecuting State vs. Tyson, the rape case against the former heavyweight champion.

Damn, I didn’t think Mike Pence’s endorsement could be devalued any more than it obviously is, but Pence managed to make it even worse.

He would have done better keeping his mouth shut…but he doesn’t have that kind of political acumen to begin with.

Pence is an idiot.
He’ll be voted out of office in November. No one but the wacko christian right likes him.

Yeah, I guess I’ll vote for Cruz. Don’t let my “endorsement” influence you in any way, though. Whatever. I gotta go now.

I’m not sure this even counts as a lukewarm endorsement. I get the sense that Pence is afraid of Trump and Trump voters. Which, you know, fair enough.

Still, it could have been worse for Cruz…he could have got Ben Carson’s “endorsement.”

Pence endorsement is basically a hold your nose endorsement not worth very much.

Cruz: Pence, a career politician is not the establishment.
