I heard also that the new York delegates turned their backs on crooze.

I wonder how many others did the same as delegate Sam and the New York delegates?

I saw that person being interviewed on TV after the breakfast with the Texas delegation.

As to your question about the New York delegation, it may be in the thread below. My understanding is that it wasn’t until Cruz made the comment to the NY delegation, and then the all the delegates booed Cruz while Trump appeared. Perfect timing!

Rush contends that this was the master Trump at work, of course this was before Trump had his press conference today in which he said that Trump did have Cruz’s speech, but the Cruz added (ad lib).

Trump Used Cruz to Pull Off Unity

Now, Cruz today, did you hear what happened after it was over? He tried to get into the skybox, the suite of the casino magnate, Sheldon Adelson, and they wouldn’t let him in. They told him to go away. You’re not welcome. You can’t get in here after doing what you did.

And there was some people on the floor. I think it was just one person, but the Drive-Bys are reporting it that it was a mob. There was one person that shouted at Heidi Cruz, “Goldman Sachs! Goldman Sachs!” as the security had to hustle her out of the arena. But Cruz showed up at the breakfast meeting of the Texas delegation today, and what happened there raised the curtain on what this is all about. Cruz took questions.

The questions from the delegates kept coming. Some of the answers the delegates were not satisfied by. Some of the answers the delegates did not accept. The delegates kept pounding. The delegates kept probing. The delegates kept demanding more from Cruz. The answers he was giving were not satisfactory. They were upset with what had happened. It shouldn’t have been the case. They wanted unity out in front.

They were hoping that Cruz would endorse. They wanted the mood to be set. They wanted the continued trend in the uplift direction — which has been taking place all week — to a giant crescendo tonight with Trump’s speech. And they didn’t get it. And it was their guy that made this happen. So they kept asking, and they kept asking, and finally Cruz cannot withhold the truth any longer. Paraphrasing, he said, “You really expect me to be a servile puppy dog to a man who insulted my wife and accused my dad of being part of the JFK assassination?”

And when Cruz said that — when Cruz told the Texas delegation that he would not be servile, would not be a good puppy dog and support the guy who maligned his wife and father — then in my mind, he kind of unwound everything else he had said the night before. He just... Under the intense probing of the Texas delegation, he couldn’t keep that in any longer, couldn’t withhold it any longer.

That question from the Texas delegation lit the fuse that caused the explosion where Ted Cruz finally admitted what that speech last night was all about and why he’s not gonna endorse Trump. “Because I don’t care...” These are his words, paraphrased by me. “I don’t care what the hell else is going on. I am not gonna compromise every damn principle I have and every belief I have and I’m not gonna look the other way at a guy who accused my dad of having something to do with the assassination of JFK.
