Why did Trump "let" Cruz Speak, if he knew he would not endorse? It's all in the "Art of the Deal",

I have concerns that with Trump we'll have someone as mean spirited an vindictive

The epitome of 'mean spirited' and 'vindictive' was shown by Cruz last night. Trump didn't need to let him speak. Trump gave no conditions for the speech. How was that 'mean spirited'? Cruz sank his own boat with his prideful and arrogant behavior. Cruz submitted a NINE minute speech. He ran 13 minutes over and gave a different speech. NO respect for Eric Trump, no respect for the remaining speakers, no respect for the delegates - who reaffirmed their resounding rejection of him with the nomination vote. His speech was a vindictive act. I can just imagine how he would act if Putin called him beaknose or called his wife dowdy. We don't need a president like Cruz. Good riddance.

The simple answer is that Trump just brilliantly innoculated himself from the tiresome accusations of “having a thin skin.”

Next time some sniveling lilliputian says that, just point to the ted speech event. Not only did Trump know it was coming, he let ted blather on for 3x his alloted time. Then just walked in and stood there, taking it. The Man Trump. Ted did his worst and Trump made no reaction.

Checkmate!!!

I, too, was impressed by Cruz early on. However, at one of the debates, when Dr. Carson missed his cue, Mr. Trump stood aside with Dr. Carson, despite his name being called to enter the stage. When Cruz’s name was called, he walked right past both of them. I thought right then and there, “Mr. Trump is a gentleman.”

Will Amish go out and murder 3 kittens and 5 children tonight? No one can be sure what his motives are.

Was his post just a way to create doubt in the minds of his enemies so that he could engage in what might be all he really cares about? Murder?

Erick Erickson has not yet confirmed Amish is mentally stable, others have not surmised that he isn't a kitten murderer.

Prayer is the only answer at this point.

Exactly. I think it may be easier than we think to primary him out.
