Subject: Cruz Statement / We can give out individually to reporters writing

"Ted Cruz's refusal  is the latest Republican leader to refuse to support Donald Trump isn't a startling revelation - it's the new norm for Republican leaders desperate to distance themselves from a monster of their own creation. Cruz joins a list that includes a slew of former Republican Presidential candidates, former Republican Presidents and the highest ranking Republican in Congress. While the Republican Party remains in chaos as it comes to terms with Trump's reckless and dangerous policies, while Democrats will remain united in holding Republicans accountable and defeating Trump in November. We will not let down-ballot Republican candidates run away from their presumptive nominee's divisive rhetoric and dangerous policies."  -- DNC National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach
