I really thought Cruz would be excellent on the SC too. Not any more. First of all, the Senate would NEVER approve him. They all hate him.

Tonight was the lowest political move I have ever seen ... and I’ve been watching conventions since Nixon’s nominations.

He’s done. He’s done.

There are some fine, conservative people in the state of NY. They are overshadowed by the loud liberals in NYC. Cruz is a fool to paint all NYers with the NYC brush.

Big mistake. Shows how little he know about the state.

I think Donald just let Teddy hang himself.

Very astute observation. Listening to F&F this a.m. Tucker Carlson opined that Cruz has no future with the party or as a possible Trump pick for SCOTUS. Very sad for him to do that. Even Rubio swallowed hard and endorsed Trump though from afar.

As Ted stuck the knife in last night he was smiling that weird little smile

Maybe he was smiling because Soros has a nice big bank account waiting for him in a Swiss bank.

Actually I may listen to Levin today...since he worked for Reagan I want to hear if he would REALLY support Cruz’s non endorsement.

Cruz should have taken the YUGE hint that crowd was giving him and said the right thing for this moment in time for the sake of unity.


Narcissists cannot take hints, or social cues.

In his own, twisted mind, he likely thought that audience was there for him....and were temporarily mistaken, once he (may have) picked up on their booing.

He’s a sick puppy. I feel sorry for his kids...and, maybe even a teensy bit sorry for Hidey.

LOL! Trending topic on facebook news feed: "Talk Show Host Laura Ingraham Gives Nazi Salute During RNC Speech."

That speech must have scared the panties off the progs. ;o)

I've got news for you....Nelson Rockefeller was MORE Conservative than Teddy is.

I'm old enough to remember Nelson Rockefeller. You're really off your rocker if you think he was "more conservative" than Ted.

Look.. you hate Ted. I get that. After last night, I'm pretty much done trying to defend him. But, I'm never going to agree that he's the same as Obama, or Rockefeller. sheesh.

I heard that rumor too, but I have to say I really thought he would at least say something like, “...And that is why we must defeat Hillary Clinton in the fall.” I would have accepted even that with no mention of Trump as a kind-of, sort-of fulfillment of his pledge and his word.

I agree. He didn't pledge to "endorse" the nominee. But, he did pledge to "support" the nominee. That was pretty weak "support".

I'd been hearing rumors all week about Cruz delegates walking out. For a minute there, at the end of Ted's speech, I thought he was trying to get them to do that. THAT, is NOT support. I wouldn't be shocked if some of them do it tonight.

There's just nothing good about last night for Ted. Trump schooled him, used him, and tossed him aside. Trump gave him a chance to unify. Ted chose suicide.

Hey, I finally saw the TRUMP fly over! I totally missed that, yesterday!

Cruz was delusional, wrapped up in his little cult on the street still campaigning.

Laura did mention in passing on her show one day that she & Dinesh dated for a while when they were in college.
