Cruz is Delusional!
Cruz is Delusional!
speech wasn’t a bad speech, and frankly would have been far better had the crowd been classier... Failure to endorse Trump really shouldn’t be surprising, will it have long term impact? Guess we’ll see in 2018.
Certainly it will have some short term impact.
Enough, I hope.
;D
VOTE OUR CONSCIENCE ???
Yes thank you mr cruz !
That’s usually what sane people do ....when they have a conscience , unlike you since you are obviously OWNED by hiden interests and ties
[He’s working for Hillary.]
Yes, and the GOP Establishment. Called it several months ago. Oily Felito is a dirtbag.
Yikes...no pressure there.
:D
Altho I held some Cruzers to their word today that Cruz would endorse and nailed them for it.
Regarding my post to you, I am just hopefully optimistic that you are correct!! I know Hitlary is going to lie and cheat and Trump will need a landslide to win.
The Trump team had the full text of the speech in advance, and Cruz talked directly to Trump about what he was going to say two days in advance. The Trump team gave ther tacit approval, but then near the end of the speech, they were seen whipping the crowd to drum up boos.
Cruz told people NOT to stay home in November, and to vote for candidates that would uphold the constitution. The Trump team could have taken that in a positive way, as close to an endorsement as Cruz culs come. it would have been a net positive for everyone, and a unifying gesture. Instead, they laid a trap for Cruz, with the intent of embarassing him and damaging him politically.
This was a set-up, pure and simple. You could see it in the surprise in Cruz’ face. Trump acted in a vindictive and destructive manner. This was so important to him that he did this even though it is going to cost him votes in November. That’s not the behavior of a leader. It’s not the behavior of a decent human being either.
I fear that, too.
I will be happy with “enough”.
:)
i will have to play it tomorrow.
“Why did Trump give him prime time?”
to let Ted self-destruct once and for all by showing the entire world in live prime time what a P.o.S. Ted Cruz really is. trump tweeted afterwards that trump had seen the speech two hours before it was given and deliberately didn’t stop Cruz.
“I respect Cruz for sticking to his guns.”
And those guns are what? Proving to the whole world Cruz is a dishonorable, disloyal liar who is so self-serving and arrogant that helping Hillary get elected to destroy our country is a perfectly acceptable trade off as long as it serves Cruz’s self-interest?
“he just handed his top spot to Scott Walker {if he chooses to run again}”
Scott Walker went up several notches in my book tonight. Very classy & cares more about defeating the Hildabeast than satisfying his own ego.
Cruz hates Trump more than he loves his own children.
Nothing to admire about that, Cupcake.
Randy Mandy is still thinking with her loins not her head.
Cruz should have listened to Laura Ingraham. He needed to get beyond his wounded little boy pride.

Wow, Princess.
Might want to change kneepads before you try again; the current ones just exploded.
Hillary or Trump, that’s the choice.
Cruz has had every opportunity to take the correct, principled stand (not to mention to keep his pledge).
As Laura Ingraham said earlier, (rough paraphrase) the hurt little boys need to get over their wounded pride and support the nominee. Cruz let the team down, totally, and is no longer a valued member of our side.
