11:28Now PlayingTed Cruz dropped his principled stance against Donald Trump the second it became politically advantageous. Glenn Beck is not happy. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"During an interview on Beck’s show Monday, Cruz tried to defend his endorsement of the man who made fun of the appearance of Cruz’s wife, and who also insinuated the Cruz’s father had something to do with the assassination of President Kennedy.
It did not go well.
Cruz tried to argue that this election is a binary choice, and that Hillary Clinton has simply proven herself unfit to be president. Beck was ready for this answer, however, and pounced.
“Hillary Clinton has done nothing to change your mind — or mine — that she is fit to be President of the United States,” Beck responded. “However, this weekend, you wouldn’t answer the question of whether Donald Trump was fit to be President of the United States.”
Cruz at this point paused, took a deep breath and stammered a bit before answering.
“What I said is this is a binary choice,” Cruz replied. “I wish it were not a binary choice. As you know, I tried very, very hard, as did you, to prevent it from being a binary choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.”
At no point did Cruz say that he believed Trump was actually fit to be president — instead, he railed against Hillary Clinton’s prospective Supreme Court picks.”*
