Geraldine Sam, former Mayor of La Marque, TX, told CNN she came to the convention as a Cruz delegate but is leaving as a Trump supporter after Sen. Ted Cruz's address at the RNC Wednesday night. Sam was interviewed by CNN following a contentious meeting between the Texas delegation and Cruz where the former candidate for president doubled down the rhetoric expressed in his speech.

Don't feel pregnant and alone, Geraldine; he lies to everyone.

Lyin’ Ted.

Is there a transcript/could someone do a transcript?

(My hearing is very bad, so audio is well nigh impossible)

I believe Trump clarified the proper spelling. It’s Lyin’ Ted. He holds up his Bible then he lies.

[georgiegirl]

please, please let this go viral....

I can’t imagine Texas sending him to the senate again.

Hey, DefeaTED, we have choked down many a chit sammich for the greater good. The stakes were high enough when Øbama was the candidate but now we have the Queen Bitch of the Universe as our opponent. You should have manned up and choked it down. It’s not all about you, RejecTED.

I'd wager he managed to turn a lot of his last gasp supporters against him and to Trump - he ignored that the real job is to stop Hillary and showed that he's petty enough to try to teach us all a lesson for not getting him nominated - he was entitled after-all....

Trump's latest message that he wouldn't accept Cruz's endorsement was the "Checkmate" moment in Cruz's career - he'll be lucky to get a job on some Podunk circuit court after his shenanigans....

Trump knows people.

Wow, does he know people.

[Grampa Dave]

Lyin’Ted sums up the liar born in Canada.

Trump has a way of smokin people out. Uncanny actually. He was rougher on ben carson actually , but ben got it and came around.

He holds up his Bible then he lies.

Pretty disgusting.

It is surprising that Trump was right about Cruz from the beginning. I suspect that Rick Perry and George P. Bush will challenge Cruz in the 2018 primary for senator; in that case, I guess we will be stuck again with Perry, the way we were when he ran for governor three times.

[Lakeshark]

I'll be shocked if they do.

I think he hoped to destroy Trump with his speech, and he only succeeded in destroying himself. He lost over half of his Cruzer fans, and made himself a pariah for the rest of his life.

What a fool he became.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Lyin’ Ted lies to everyone, all the time.
He uses all the right words that he thinks people want to hear.

Cubanadians can’t be “Constitutional conservatives” if they think they can ignore the natural born citizen requirement.

[Madame Dufarge]

I was going to a transcript for you, but then noticed that the article contains her remarks.

Ted better bone up on private law practice...Bond jumpers and drunk drivers everywhere need more attorneys...
