There are at least 10 threads covering the speech and the fallout, so no need to discuss that.
Instead, the fact that the most "Christian" candidate this year ends up being the most hateful, spiteful and selfish *sshole around is a good thing to discuss.
How do his supporters justify the disconnect between his beliefs and behavior?
Ye shall know them by their fruits!
Disappointing. A year ago I actually thought Trump was only in it to bump Cruz up. Boy was I wrong.
Whose Ted Cruz? Is he that guy who was diddlin’ whores behind his wife’s back?
Wasn’t Rubio supposed to speak tonight? If so, did he endorse?
They are going to try and justify that conscience comes above all else and that somehow breaking a pledge isn’t the same thing as “your word is your bond......” et al.
To decide whether conscience and its definitions (I looked them up) are different than honor or belief and warrant of one’s own word each must examine that in himself.
From my own perspective, then, it seems to Cruz there is no honor in “holding your nose” like MILLIONS of us wanting better than the alternative did with Romney and McCain. Thus, his conscience trumps his bond which says that his ‘word’ isn’t worth shit. It basically is a form of Taqiyya, then.
If that sounds harsh, good. I meant it to be. More than anything I’ve ever said, frankly. The man has no honor.
I would have voted for Cruz early on.....by the time the primary got to my state it HAD TO BE TRUMP.
Ted is petulant child who took his ball and went home. I guess he is trying to emulate the current resident of the White Hut who continues to act that way
Adelson gave GOP Presidential Candidates 92 Million Dollars in 2012
Not Good when Donors locked you out
The Ted Cruz butt plug picture I saw last night says it all. Cruz is a perverse tool who smells bad.
Pride goeth before the fall, and he fell hard last night. When you look up ‘hypocrite’ in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Ted Cruz.
Not the best time to pile on. I am for Trump. Cruz botched it last night. There are more productive things to discuss. Be like Trump. Win graciously.
The two most painfully idiotic "defense" I've seen on the part of frantically arm-waving adherents, thus far, has been (paraphrasing): "It was all a sly and evil trap set for the sweet, holy, blameless Cruz by the nastybad Trump persons! Yes it was, it WAS, My Preciousssssssssssssss!"
The morning's still young, however. ;)
Remove gratuitous “two,” above. ;)
The Cubanadian is a fraud.
He had me fooled right up until his cloture vote for TPA.
He didn’t just break his initial pledge, he was asked again at another debate if he would hold to pledge and he promised to again!
Wallace: Will support Donald Trump if he’s the nominee?
Cruz: Yes, because I gave my word that I would...
“Wasn’t Rubio supposed to speak tonight? If so, did he endorse?”
He made a video and half heartedly supported Trump
He had a video and yes he endorsed Trump.
Oh, ok. Thanks
I agree with you. Let’s go win the election and we will take care of this later.
Rubio sent a video, it played just before Cruz spoke
