there is NO comparison between the jerkoff Cruz and Ronald Reagan - this is all delusional BS, Cruz couldn’t hold the Gipper’s jock

I recall in 76, Reagan (who did endorse) stood with Ford on stage in front of the convention in a show of unity

You’re not who you think you are, Ted.

Glenn and your dad are wrong.

Your not The One.

Cruz is too much of an hole curmudgeon to ever be President. he has no chance in hell even if Trump loses. The country will be finished after 4 years of Hillary anyway it will be unsaveable

Perhaps in reply to TC’s continued stance this morning after he self-inflicted the night before, DJT tweeted this a while ago:

@realDonaldTrump - “Other than a small group of people who have suffered massive and embarrassing losses, the party is VERY united.”

A puppy is a puppy, juvenile and untrained. Cruz is past puppyhood, he is at the dirty dog level, ill bred, untrained and does not know if he is a pig or a dog.

I wouldn’t entrust the care of my puppy dog to a Ted Cruz.

He doesn’t want to be a servile puppy dog but I wonder if he is being cast as a villain in a Great Media Morality Play... without him even being aware it. (The unseen hand of Donald The Director!)

Whatever the case, there has never been a greater instance of STUPIDITY in American politics. Ever.

I thought he was the smart one.

“he was booed off the stage after telling voters to “vote your conscience” “

Hey Ted, just to be clear, you weren’t booed for saying “vote your conscience” or “vote for the Constitution”, you were booed because you said you’d support the nominee, which you are not doing. You are clearly just another clever and opportunistic lawyer, putting yourself first.

Did any good friend or family member point out to him that it is not about him?

It is about whether or not America's future must wait four years for him to emerge as a "savior" of the Constitution, or whether his fellow citizens' judgment in 2016, combined with the team of other fellow citizens, including Trump, can join in an effort to crash the determination Hillary Clinton to defy and destroy any semblance of liberty which remains.

He might do well to remember that not every citizen in 1776 believed the same, but those selfless patriots put aside personal ambition and joined together:

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." - Signers of Declaration of Independence
Sorry, but my grandchildren cannot wait for his dreams and ambitions to materialize!!

I’m sorry, I just can’t accept the argument that Cruz is an idiot. 2020 is gone, poof. If Hillary wins, Republicans will gather around whatever governor stands up to Washington who will be carried through to the White House in 2020.

There’s not even a path if Trump does completely awful as president. The McRomney parts of the party will rise up and point out that Ted Cruz was part of the problem in 2016 and certainly isn’t a solution.

Maybe 20 years from now he’s got a shot again, but most likely, that was Ted Cruz’s last RNC speech.

Longest Suicide Note in US Political History

I thoroughly concur with that statement. I don't believe his "Lone Star" constituents are going to cotton to him after last night. I also believe that the fine residents of Texas are saying something to the nature of:

Thanks for informing us who the hell you REALLY are.

Trump will win this year and 2020 shouldn’t be a problem if Trump is half as good in his first term as I think he will be, like Reagan was.

The BIG issue we should all be thinking about is what will it take to get the right guy in 2024 who will finish the job and dismantle most of the unconstitutional federal government and reinstate the Constitution as the Supreme law of the Land and ONLY legal bulwark of political freedom against federal tyranny.

Short of that, The Trump Movement, like the Reagan Revolution, will amount to a mere speed bump on the Highway to Hell.

Now have to find out when Ted is up for reelection and primary his ass out of Texas politics. Not about who beats Hillary...... its about making sure she does not win this election. Cruz last night provided aid and comfort to the socialist democrats ...... unforgivable act.

I was a big fan of Ted Cruz .... my posts will reflect such as his “record” albeit not perfect, was best of the polidiot lot IMO....

BEAT HILLARY ABOVE ALL ELSE !
