Utah Sen. Mike Lee, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and Illinois Sen.

Ted Cruz offered his first extensive defense of his endorsement of Donald Trump here Saturday, declining to disavow his searing criticisms of Trump's candidacy but arguing he made the best decision possible.

If you only read one thing: It's silly season on the campaign trail, as operatives on both sides of aisle argue their preferred candidate is a terrible debater and set to be trounced in Monday's first presidential debate. It's the expectations game - in some ways as important as the debate itself.
