Is he looking to get himself plotted up in the nuthouse, too?

Is that likely to add anything to Trump's final numbers? I presume anyone highly influenced by Cruz was never going to vote for Hillary anyway?

Any chance Trump refuses to accept his endorsement?

After all the things that he said about Trump, he has gone and done it.
There have been rumours that this was coming. Cruz has been under pressure to come on board, but that has been the case throughout.
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/ted-cruz-donald-trump-endorsement-228540
No doubt plenty will have gone on behind the scenes. Whether there is a quid pro quo remains to be seen. Earlier in the week, Trump supported Cruz' current battle to keep internet stewardship with the US instead of handing it over to the international community. Could there be more than that?
Whatever, it is a massive boost for Trump. Cruz will bring votes from conservatives who might have stayed home. Not sure whether it's a good idea for Cruz.

He has already welcomed it.

He's supporting Cruz's mate for the Supreme Court, isn't he?

Old 'Lyin' Ted' is on the firm...
Will he be making any little speeches at the debates, or anything like that?

Yep, and that's a weird one. There have been times when Mike Lee was Cruz' only supporter in the Senate. He is the only one on Trump's list who isn't a judge. Some Fox tweets saying that adding Lee to the Supreme Court list was part of the deal.
https://mobile.twitter.com/ChrisSnyderFox/status/779422357865848832
But they seem to be wrong, because Lee says he doesn't want it.
"Sen. Lee already has the job he wants, which is why he is campaigning to represent the great people of Utah again this year. This does not change Sen Lee's mind about Trump in any way whatsoever.”
https://mobile.twitter.com/i/web/status/779319879556009984
It seems that Mike Pence is getting the credit for bringing Cruz in. Has also been cosying with Lee, who apparently wasn't ready to endorse. He has previously said he wouldn't do it because of the things Trump said about the father of his best frend (Cruz). I guess this leaves him a bit isolated.

It's all going on. Hillary4America has released a long long list of Trump lies, each one accompained by a referenced quote that calls it out. They have called for the debate moderators to pull him up on them in real time if he uses them.
https://www.hillaryclinton.com/briefing/factchecks/2016/09/23/clinton-campaign-trump-cannot-pass-debate-test-if-he-repeats-these-debunked-lies/
The campaign has obviously saved this for just before the first debate, but it seems amazing that he has been allowed to continue stating these things with little challenge until now.
One way or another, everyone has a lot of reading to master before Monday, particularly the moderator.

"Endorsement of Trump to Play Key Role in Christie’s Insanity Defense."
http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/endorsement-of-trump-to-play-key-role-in-christies-insanity-defense
It's in the humour section. Mildly unfunny stuff though, only noticed after seeing the author's other articles.
Wonder what the likelihood of serious election fraud being committed by either side is. Hard to say if it hasn't already.
http://observer.com/2016/09/former-democratic-congressional-candidate-says-hillary-stole-nevada/
Of course it's humour. I didn't think it was necessary to flag that.
There are many flaws and discrepencies with the US voting systems but I think the likelihood of serious election fraud is extremely low.
As the New York Observer (and observer.com) is owned by Ivanka Trump's husband, I'll take whatever it says with a very large pinch of salt.
http://www.mediaite.com/online/%E2%80%8Bny-observer-endorsement-of-trump-far-worse-than-just-absurd-conflict-of-interest/
Ah sorry, not up to date enough and didn't want anyone else to be fooled.

Former Apprentice contestant Omarosa Manigault is a prominent Trump surrogate who represents him in interviews on many news shows every week.
Here she is in a trailer for a show to air next week, where she counters claims that Trump wouldn't work constructively with his opponents after he became
Emperor
President.

Ugh. This election goes from bad to worse.
Hillary has reportedly invited Mark Cuban to sit in the front row at the debate. Cuban is a billionaire who owns an NBA team and other stuff. He has been one of the most visible critics of Trump, frequently described as trolling Trump. Clinton's team said they were putting him in because he has been so successful at highlighting Trump's negatives. Seems a crappy move, but there you go.
Trump's response? Unbelievable. He has dug up Gennifer Flowers and invited her to sit in the front row. If you don't remember her, gee that's sweet, you rugrat. Long before Monica Lewinsky was heard of, Gennifer Flowers was Bill Clinton's paramour. It all came to light during Bill's first Presidential campaign and nearly derailed it until Bill and Hillary undertook a joint interview of denial that succeeded in limiting the damage. Gennifer claimed she had had a 12-year affair with Bill, which he denied, though he did admit a few years later that they had done it, but just once.
Trump suggested the idea, apparently as an empty threat, but Gennifer then tweeted that she is up for it. Hopefully, Trump didn't really mean it. How low can you go?

If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!

Gennifer Flowers @gennflowers
Hi Donald. You know I'm in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!

Sometimes I feel like I don't want to read anything more about this year's awful election. What has happened to the powerful American system that it has been brought to this?
