Cruz expressly agreed to do that, to support the nominee (”Oh! But he’s not the nominee ... YET!”) and now he’s stamping his feet/holding his breath until he turns blue, until he gets what he wants, whatever that might be.

He’s like Captain Ahab hunting his great white whale.

He lost. His supporters can’t accept it either, or that his refusal to do what he promised to do weakens the fight against Clinton.
Even if they are careful now with their incessant, childish name-calling (after a slew of them were wished out to the cornfield) they still whine about being insulted by those of us who think that by his actions, well, their boy must be a RAT nevertrumper/Hillary Clinton supporter.

I would say the same thing about Trump if the tables were turned and Cruz had won and Trump was demanding to be kick-off/keynote speaker, or to be VP or whatever it might possibly be that motivates Ted Cruz.

Trump/Cruz? Put down the bongs. Enough of Cruz’s foolishness. It’s nut-cutting time.

This is all about Cruz wanting to speak at the convention. Trump is nutz if he lets Cruz speak without first endorsing.

All Republicans need to unite against Hillary.

I saw a photo and people thought it looked like Cruz’s dad. Who knows...it was a long time ago.

Ok, I saw it too. I just presumed it looked like Cruz’s dad might have looked back them. Prolly not him, though.

****************

Correct in that Trump isn’t offically the nominee until the vote is taken at the Convention.
If at that time Cruz fails to endorse then he’s lied and will fall further down the
respectability graph. JMO.

Thank you. Seems like solid info, though only circumstantial relating to Cruz’s dad.

it seems that some on here have selective memory. Trump didn’t start an attack on Heidi. He merely said he would expose her - and that meant her past positions. How in the he** is that at attack? Let’s not forget Ted’s butt buddy, Glenn Beck, who called Melania a slut and a prostitute. Get your facts straight.

Trump admitted a retweet about Heidi Cruz was a mistake.

Do you remember that?

It’s time for unity. While there is a fringe of #NeverTrump’ers still around, there very few on this site still.

What are on this site are many, many “to hell with Cruz and his supporters” advocates, some right on this thread.

Just as #NeverTrump needs to be put down, so does the vitriol against Cruz and his supporters.

Otherwise we cannot unite and move forward.

It’s been two months. It has to stop!

Sure I remember that, but it was still after Cruz started his stuff. You have selective memory. It was just a picture of Heidi and Melania. so what? You want to fault Trump for defending his wife? I sure don’t.

So you don’t see how Cruz could see that as a personal attack from Trump against his wife?

The picture of Melania which was taken for the British version of GQ was published in an ad by a Super PAC, not the Cruz campaign. When Trump was asked what proof he had that Cruz was behind it, he said he had none. And both the Super PAC and Cruz denied that Cruz or his campaign bought the photo, produced the ad, or had anything else to do with the ad.

But the retweet of the Heidi Cruz picture? From Donald Trump’s personal account.

And, yes, Trump said it was a mistake.

I don’t think I’m the one with selective memory here.

It is very doubtful there will be a Trump-Cruz ticket.

I hope not. Cruz is nuts.

Do you remenber that?


Cruz personally smeared 14 million Trump supporters as “low info” Do you remember that? Rafael Cruz smeared Trump’s religious beliefs to Evagelical groups. Etc. Do you remember that? Of course not. The amnesia of sore loser Cruzers is breathtaking

Cruz intentionally poisoned the post primary season with his withdrawal day press conference tantrum. Cruz delegates continue to lead never trump movement. Yet sore loser Cruzers telk us it is all Trump’s fault the party is not unified. Nonsense.

I was responding to a specific charge and refuting a specific assertion.

Do you want to win in November?

Seriously? Do you?

Because ripping on Cruz and his supporters is not the way to do it.

Trump has started mending fences and uniting the party behind him. Take his cue and cut the vitriol.

It’s over, stop rubbing salt in the wounds.

Unless you want Clinton to win.

Cruz could make good impeachment insurance.

Yeah, except "Canadians can't be our President"...or vice-president.

At this vexery moment we have Cruz delegates campaigning to unbind delegates and have a divisive convention. Given that Why arw you asking a Trump supporter if they want to win? How about you ask your fellow Cruzers first? Does it bother you Cruz is silent as his surrogates defacto campaign for Hillary?
