"After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump," he posted on Facebook.
The move prompted astonishment, anger among Cruz die-hards with little love for the party's coarse and volatile nominee, and taunts that Cruz is far less consistent than he claims. There was also relief for many Republicans who have worried about the rifts Trump has exposed in the party.
Conservatives who have hung tough in the "Never Trump" camp expressed dismay. Steve Deace, an Iowa radio host, called it "the worst political miscalculation of my lifetime."
"Cruz will not mobilize the remnant of his base not already supporting Trump, but rather split that remnant and risk turning it against himself," he predicted.
Rick Tyler, a Cruz adviser turned pundit, said he's removing the Cruz bumper sticker from his car. "It's mourning in America for conservatives. We lost our leader today," he told MSNBC.
Cruz has positioned himself as an incorruptible truth teller, and for some of his fans, this went too far.
