Texas senator admits Trump again got the better of him

At the key moment of Ted Cruz’s remarks here Wednesday, from the heavens appeared a reminder that the Texas senator’s big speech to supporters this week was being delivered on the outdoor patio of a bar and not inside the convention hall.

“In an amazing campaign field of 17 talented, dynamic candidates, we beat 15 of those candidates,” Mr. Cruz said. “We just didn’t beat 16. Our party now has a nominee.”

The crowd booed. But it wasn’t because Mr. Cruz was reminding them of his defeat – they were pointing to the sky, where a plane emblazoned “TRUMP”, set on a landing course at Cleveland’s lakefront airport.

Mr. Cruz turned to see the commotion. He had to admit, Donald Trump had gotten the best of him again.

Stay tuned for fun. If he endorses his holdout supporters will be in the isles doing the angry chicken dance.

Keep them honest ASA Vet.
I took grief this morning for standing firm on natural born citizen as the founders meant it.
We may be among a very few who still know what it means.

While speaking in tongues and holding snakes.

I have never been so disgusted by any politician in my 36 years of voting.

His voice is annoying. But his speech isn’t bad. Better than I expected.

I saw the video clip on Fox business a while ago. So awesome! What timing! Ultimate photo bomb by Trump.

Annoying is understatement. And his topics are not uplifting. The crowd shots show bored, silent people.

The BIGGEST problem I had was with the crowd. I would have been chanting “honor your PLEDGE!”

You are right. He is no better than Ryan , McConnell or little Jebbie at this point. He lied at the first debate.

If I were Trump after this stunt I wouldn’t give Cruz the time of day. Trump walked out when he knew Cruz double crossed him. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump doesn’t report Cruz lied, again. Trump coming out at the end made the delegates turn on Cruz very quickly.

Ted Cruz just demonstrated tonight that he is a nasty little man whose sense of self-worth eclipses his intrinsic value.
