Cruz won't endorse Cornyn in next Tuesday's Primary

Senate sniping between establishment Republicans and tea partyers resumed Thursday as Sen. Ted Cruz refused to endorse his fellow GOP Texan in next week's primary.

Sen. John Cornyn, the Senate's second-ranking Republican leader, faces tea party-backed Rep. Steve Stockman in Tuesday's primary. Cruz declined to tell reporters how he plans to vote.

"I am not supporting any of the senators from my party, or their opponents" in this year's primaries, Cruz said, adding that he might change his mind later.

Can't/won't endorse Stockman because when Stockman loses it will be a mark against the Tea Party's supposed influence in primary races.

Can't/won't Cornyn lest he lose his spot among the Tea Party as one of their hopes in 2016.

So, Cruz proves in the end that he's all talk and no walk.
