Texas Senator Ted Cruz recently belittled the significance of a political endorsement from former President Donald Trump for candidates in various GOP election primaries. Link: https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/ted-cruz-of-all-people-mocks-republicans-who-suck-up-to-trump/
Cruz forgets that for some GOP primary election candidates, Trump’s endorsement matters:
The operating assumption among Republican candidates is that if you get an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, you’re golden.
After all, Trump is, without question, the most popular politician among Republicans – and history has shown that he has an ability to handpick his preferred candidates in down-ballot races.

Because of Trump’s win for President in 2016, the vote tally for his reelection bid in 2020, his popularity from his reality TV show on NBC, The Apprentice, his massive following on Twitter, and the mainstream media speculation that he will seek reelection as President in 2024, many GOP primary election contenders can successfully leverage his endorsement.
That is more so now that GOP right wing conservatives will be motivated to get out and vote for Trump endorsed candidates because the Supreme Court may overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, and because Elon Musk has pledged to remove the Twitter ban on Trump should Musk acquire Twitter.
Trump’s political endorsement is valuable. Link:https://www.forbes.com/sites/traversmark/2020/03/02/how-valuable-are-endorsements-in-politics-3-lessons-from-political-psychology/?sh=1ffb87c14e48
Buffalo NY Mass Shooting Has Nothing to do With Soft on Crime Policies
Leo Terrell, a Fox News contributor, moderated a panel on: The Big Saturday Show, about soft on crime policies in Democratic controlled cities leading to a rise in violent crime.
Terrell opened the panel discussion with a news clip referencing the recent mass shooting at a shopping center in Buffalo NY.

It is remarkable that the horrible mass shooting incident, which involved a white supremacist going into a Black neighborhood to kill Black people, would be manipulated by Terrell and his panel to attack President Joe Biden and Democratic mayors and prosecutors about soft on crime policies.
