Donald Trump says he won't accept Cruz endorsement if it comes
CLEVELAND _ Donald Trump said Friday he'd reject Ted Cruz's endorsement if he makes one.
"He'll come and endorse, but I don't want his endorsement," Trump said Friday as he thanked supporters in a downtown Cleveland hotel. "Stay at home, Ted, relax."
Hours after accepting the presidential nomination, Trump spent much of a victory lap ripping Cruz and revisiting their primary battles over pictures of Cruz's wife and reviving accusations that Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination.
Trump suggested Cruz _ in snubbing Trump at the convention, may have "ruined his political career," and he accused Cruz at the last minute of swapping out remarks in his convention speech to make it clear he wasn't endorsing Trump.
"To me that's dishonorable, that's not a nice thing to do," Trump said.
