"I can support Cruz and support our GOP candidate against horrible Hillary in November," Day said over the weekend, referring to Cruz's re-election efforts in Texas in 2018.
"The DNC is such a hot mess," Day said as the Dem convention kicked off. "The likelihood of our ticket prevailing in November is increasing with every day. Good news for the GOP!#neverhillary"
Anuzis was much more vocal in his support of Trump, writing a Facebook statement you can read below titled "It's Time for Trump."
"My "conscience" can't let me stand on the sidelines or cast a protest vote that help elects Hillary Clinton President," Anuzis said.
"Like it or not, this is a "time for choosing" and I chose Trump/Pence in 2016!"
>>>Anuzis Statement On Trump:
"I joined the overwhelming majority of Republican delegates at the Republican Convention in Cleveland and voted for Donald Trump to be our party's nominee.
As a movement conservative and an early and passionate supporter of Ted Cruz, it wasn't an easy decision. And I must say, Trump's attacks and comments about Cruz are unnecessary and disappointing. We need to just move on.
I watched and heard Ted Cruz's speech. I then read it again. And I agree…
"We deserve leaders who stand for principle. Unite us all behind shared values. Cast aside anger for love. That is the standard we should expect, from everybody.
And to those listening, please, don't stay home in November. Stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution." said Cruz.
Today, for me…that candidate "up" the ticket is Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
I have serious concerns - I prefer someone philosophically grounded and more consistently conservative. I listened intently to what Donald Trump has had to say and what his friends and family shared with us. Issues like NATO, Free Trade and Liberty to name a few, cause pause and raise questions.
But elections are about choices. And there are ONLY two viable options for the American people. The Republican, Donald Trump and the Democrats nominee, Hillary Clinton.
In that match up, I chose Trump!
Then you add Mike Pence…Governor Pence is a solid conservative who I have known for years. I trust him, I have faith in him and I know he will be an important part of this effort.
Yes, I completely understand your right to vote for a third party. The political reality is that a vote for ANY other candidate or party is a vote for Hillary Clinton. They can't win and a protest vote only helps the Democrats.
And yes, you can just "not vote". But again, sitting on your hands might as well be a vote for Hillary. If you sit on the side lines and withhold your vote from Donald Trump, you are helping Hillary win.

We know Hillary Clinton and we know what she stands for.
Hillary Clinton means at least four more years of Obama's disastrous policies.
Hillary Clinton means we will have one of America's most crocked, privileged and lying political figures as our President.
Hillary Clinton means liberal appointments to the Supreme Court and other federal judgeship that will change the America we know for decades to come.
Hillary Clinton means we institutionalize Obama Care and permanently "socialize" a very large segment of our economy…providing inefficient, expensive and politicized heath care.
Hillary Clinton means "crony capitalism" will dominate our economy and policy choices. Sweetheart deals like Solyndra will be the norm, labor unions will get favored status, schools of choice will be seriously challenged and religious liberty will be at risk.
It's NOT a simple choice, but it's really kind of an easy one.
It's Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton.
America can't afford to risk another Clinton presidency.
So for that reason alone, my "conscience" requires me as a party guy, a semi-establishment type of activists to vote and support Donald Trump.
I am betting on Donald Trump, with Mike Pence at his side, will "stand for principle. Unite us all behind shared values. Cast aside anger for love…(and with cautious optimism) trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution."

Was this magnanimous change of heard causes by Cruz' 38% drop in polling post the RNC Convention. The "twins" surely sung a different tune right through the Convention in Cleveland.
