U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan are among those speaking to the Texas delegation next week at the Republican National Convention, according to a tentative schedule obtained by The Texas Tribune...

Cruz's speech could be his only public remarks in Cleveland beside his address Wednesday night to all of the convention's delegates...

A spokeswoman said Cruz will not be at the convention Thursday night, meaning he is likely to miss the speech in which his former rival, Donald Trump, accepts the Republican nomination...

Seems like bad form to me.

So Ted gets to speak, but he doesn’t stick around for the nomination speech on Thursday night. He must have a “pressing commitment” that he can’t avoid. Even EMK stuck around for Carter’s speech in 1980 but wasn’t too helpful.

I guess better to not have him there with pretend yawns and other facial incongruities.

Honeymooners TV show.

Golf Scene.

Gleason needs to learn hoe to play golf.
The golf book explains, approach ball, plant feet, address the ball.

Norton explains the instruction “address the ball”
Walks up, plants feet, salutes the balls and says

“hello ball!!!”

Everything Cruz does is bad form. Zero intellectual honesty.

At this point in time, it’s best that Ted Cruz is not there at the moment of the nomination and acceptance speech. I’m happy Ted was wise enough to include himself at all, but he is not yet ready to let go of the anger felt in the last few months that Donald made hellish for him.

Ted still has the concerning aura of a cult leader or movement leader, and all he would have to do to provoke an act of rebellion would be to say one or two off key remarks. Mike Lee wants to lead the rebellion, but he doesn’t have the charisma as does his ‘best friend’ who likes to use impressionable colleges such as Mike. They have a bond. It’s like belonging to a well dressed, very sophisticated gang. Rand Paul is similar, but I don’t think he’s ever been a virulent Never Trumper.

Ted has globalist interests to look out for and another 5000% increase inH1Bs to take more American jobs.

Cruz and Mike Lee have shown us all who they really are. Yuge Disappointments! I truly believe that Cruz has destroyed himself. He is a fraud and contemptible.

Good. Further proof the Never Trump effort is dead.

A shame that former presidents can’t be bothered to address the Texas delegation at the convention.

Otherwise, meh, couldn’t care less if there was one more senator at the convention on Thursday night when the acceptance speech is made.

What may be even more interesting why Sarah Palin is not going to be speaking at all. Donald says she was asked.
Some very famous public speakers won’t appear unless all is on their terms. Maybe she wanted a certain day and a certain hour, while they were offering her something with low potential audiences.

Knowing how Donald is used to managing people, and how blunt he can be, it would not surprise me if
Donald said “Sarah, we love you, but at your last event, you sounded terrible! Melania wasn’t too thrilled about your choice of wardrobe either, if you wanna know the truth. I know some fantastic voice coaches I could refer you too, they are completely fantastic, you won’t believe what they’re capable of doing with your own vocal qualities! Should I have them give you a call? Oh yeah, and the completion of this voice training is as they say, ‘a prerequisite condition’ before you are given a speaking role. “A prerequisite condition’!”.

The only thing I want to hear from ETC is I release all my delegates and encourage them to support Donald J Trump
