So this happened. Trump supporters today walked out on Senator Ted Cruz during his CPAC speech.
I agree. Trump's not going to gain many votes at a conservative gathering because he's not a conservative. He's better off heading to Kansas where he can try to pull in the Jeb voters who don't have a candidate.
No. Trump did not attack him until Cruz's supposedly off-the-record meeting in a NYC law office with his donors that was surreptitiously recorded on a cell phone. Then Trump felt free to attack him. They probably had made an agreement when Cruz came to NYC earlier and Cruz then broke it at that law office meeting. In any case, Trump followed his own rules NOT to attack first.
Only douchebag liberals give a s**t what the rest of the world thinks about America.
They walked out on the most conservative man in the Senate.
Ask Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Kasich, Fiorina, Huckabee, Santorum, Carson, etc, etc. After this weekend four more,states will be in the .trump column. Up until the last week I said I would support Cruz if he won. After his sellout completely to the GOPe he is not acceptable either.
They all walked out together from the very front of the room. If you’ve been to CPAC, you know they had to be waiting in line en masse since last Tuesday in order to pull that off.
The same spirit that has Trump’s rally attendees getting on line at dawn.
Cruz is finished as is Rubio. Just a matter of time.
It is Cruz’s audience so he should be there.
Wasn’t there a walkout last year too, or the year before? My memory fails me but I remember people walking out in groups throughout someone’s speech. Not really that left-wing, by today’s standards. The Left would have shouted him down and maybe tried to get themselves arrested.
They walked out on Sessions too? After he endorsed their candidate?
That is why Trump has been a very successful businessman and .cruz as never created a non-government job in his life. He only wants to spend our money.
Waiting for Trump & respect amongst the candidates who showed.
Is that French for booger?
No, the Cruzbots had planned to walk out on Trump tomorrow. Is people caught wind of the dirty trick, cancelled his appearance and turned the table on Teddy Bear.
How fitting .cruz was caught in is own dirty trick.
They had no business being at CPAC.
If you mean conservative as in selling out outsider primary candidates in 2014, voting for TPA, enabling the Iranian deal by voting for the .corker amendment, selling out American workers through free unfair trade or enabling and supporting big bank and big business mergers then I do not want that conservatism.
“The Cruz Lawyer Voice and Haughty Lecturer Style grates on my nerves.”
Mine too. And let’s not forget his annoying “pregnant pauses for effect” every 20 seconds. Most predictable and annoying.
It goes both ways.
Yep, me too!
People walked out on Jeb Bush at the 2015 CPAC.
