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.

Yep, cringe-worthy every time I see it.

She did go for a clinch and maybe could have held on, but she didn't have position and almost takes another elbow and a backfist.

She's plucky, no doubt about it, but that was ugly. She's just not at his weight.

When did this speech happen? I was wathing Fox who has Megyn Kelly on at the time so it was around 9:15 and she said Rubio and Cruz coming next but then someone else was speaking and I left for a half hour. By that time Cruz was done and they were waiting for Eric Trump.

The Cruz rally interrupted by Trump’s jet was earlier in the afternoon. The later RNC speech was right before Eric Trump.

Cruz didn’t beat anybody. In a race where there is only one winner, everyone who lost are losers. Under Cruz’s logic I guess Kasich beat 14 other people just by staying in the race

Next time Cruz try again, I highly doubt he be in the top tier.

Can Cruz move back to Canada? Didn't he make a big show of giving up his Canadian citizenship, pretending it made him eligible to be US President?

I'm wondering when he got his US citizenship.

Cruz’ comment, “Gotta admit, that was well orchestrated”. Never imagines who might have orchestrated it though. Did he not have his Bible in hand at this time?
