Cruz is a proud Texan male. Did you really believe that a proud, Texan male could endorse a guy who called him Lyin' Ted and attacked his family?
I don't think that Trump ever expected an endorsement. I think that Trump wanted things to go just as they went. Cruz should not have showed up at all.
I have yet to meet a person negatively referencing the Lyin Ted moniker who has any idea what Cruz did to earn it.
“...attacked his family?...”
Ted’s PAC maligned/attacked Melania first; turnabout is fair play.
Ted is a liar on a pathological level. He lied this morning claiming that people were saying to vote your conscience was a ‘horrible thing to say’. No one said that not to him not to any one.
He lied about Ben Carson. He lied about his support for TPP. He lied and lied and lied. Trump NEVER said anything bad about his family. Trump tweeted a picture of Melania side by side with heidi and asked who you would rather have as first lady. This after Ted’s crew distributed fliers all over Utah with a nasty and vicious set of comments on a picture of Melania from a GQ article years ago. Trump answered questions asked by interviewers about a picture of what may be Ted’s dad on the street handing out leaflets with Lee Oswald. Trump said isn’t that odd?
Yes I think it is odd. and still needs to be addressed
Lyin Ted is NOT a Texan male.
He’s a Canadian born egomaniac who had a good many REAL/NATIVE Texans fooled, for a while.
He’s now known for the snake he’s always been.
Thank God he’s not the nominee. He’d be as deceitful as 0blama.
I pray he does not get re-elected to his Senate seat. As a former supporter, I will work doubly hard to make sure he isn’t.
Just me talking as a proud Texan. . .
Trump must do more than give Cruz a speaking slot.
Attacking the wife and father of Cruz is something untoward and unseemly.
I’m not a politician but do think Trump can word an out-reach to Cruz along the line of “The primary was a tough fight and tough words were used. Things were said that offended. We are now facing something that is more offensive than words—the prospect of a president Clinton. Our republican family must unite”
Cruz can then reply with “Threats to this great nation resides both here and abroad. Therefore, we must be unified in our actions to protect our constitution and freedoms. Trump is the clear choice we can rely on to support and defend the constitution, to stop Clinton from ever occupying the Oval Office “
(Neither one apologizes to the other.)
Just me day-dreaming
//Did you really believe that a proud, Texan male could endorse a guy who called him Lyin’ Ted and attacked his family//
And last night Cruz proved Trump right on that. Don’t forget Cruz attacked Trumps family too.
I do think you are correct, Trump gave him enough rope to hang himself and hang himself he did.
Cruz is a proud Texan male
____________________
Cruz lives in Texas, that does not make him a Texan.
I am a Texas woman married to a Texas MAN. Texas MEN do not make pledges that any circumstance would cause them not to keep. Texas MEN would also consider their OWN behavior rather than making excuses.
Donald Trump would not automatically make that pledge because he wanted to think about it enough to know he could keep his word. He didn’t make it for “show time”.
I’d say Donald Trump the New Yorker shows the qualities of a TEXAN MAN more than Cruz ever will.
“I think that Trump wanted things to go just as they went.”
Was the booing coordinated ahead of time? Two hours is plenty of time to spread the word
“I don’t think that Trump ever expected an endorsement. I think that Trump wanted things to go just as they went.”
Cruz endorses or he goes complete schmuck. Either way would benefit Trump. I’ll be generous and assume Cruz is smart enough to know these obvious outcomes were what he was walking into.
If you are a “proud Texan” would you back down on an unconditional pledge that you stated, in a video taken before the whole nation, that your pledge was your “word”?
Don’t give me that “he insulted me, my wife and my dad” crap either! When you step into the arena as an adult contestant you know many things will be said about you and your family. Lying’ Ted disparaged Trump’s wife, but did Trump pout? Heck no, he just hit back harder as a “proud Texan, who was not all hat and no cattle” would!
So, are you “all hat and no cattle” too? Wife got your cojones in her purse?
“Did you really believe that a proud, Texan male could endorse a guy who called him Lyin’ Ted and attacked his family?”
A “proud, Texan male”? “Proud?” Certainly. “Texan”? Actually, Cuban/Canadian. “Male”? Ask Amanda Carpenter.
“Lyin’ Ted”. He is a pathological liar. Worse, even, than Gore.
“attacked his (Cruz’) family”. He didn’t.
If any of those things had happened, which they didn’t, when the future of America, and freedom for your children, is at stake, you quit whining and endorse the best candidate on the ballot in November.
No, but I thought a Canadian like him might.
What’s stunning is that we were all saved from Cruz here by Cruz himself.
You can’t do this without a thick skin. Cruz brought the wives into it, and when he got his ass handed to him, he’s had a tough time living it down.
One thing about working sources is knowing what buttons to push. Cruz’s button is four feet by four feet, labeled, lighted, and with raised dots so that the blind can press it.
He’s proven himself dangerous in any office higher than Senator.
Cruz was still a Canadian citizen less than two years ago.
