The Republican convention appears to be facing a rocky opening both inside and outside the arena – inside, from forces loyal to Ted Cruz mulling a procedural fight...

...but he wont.
Is this real or media exageration?
This guy is becoming the Aaron Burr of modern American politics.
Cruz forces? They could fit in a phone booth.
I read the headline as “Rocky” Opening (Sylvester Stallone). :)
Cruz forces? They could fit in a phone booth.
From what I saw on TV, it’s an exaggeration.
Cruz needs to put his big boy britches on and grow up.
Humana non grata...
You think Trump wouldn't have Cruz removed?
I wouldn't take bets on that.
Cruz forces = Ted w/ a rat in his pocket.
Stop what?
“Those forces want to revise the rules that will reward states with closed primaries”
Those changes will benefit any conservative, including Trump and Cruz.
“to allow Cruz’s name to be placed in nomination from the convention floor.”
Of course, you’re paranoid that this is to somehow steal the election. Not at all (despite the ravings of a Colorado Cruzer). It’s not being partnered with a “conscience vote” that ranter wanted, so Trump would easily beat Cruz. Cruz is really trying to demonstrate how badly he destroyed Kasich, Marco, Jeb, etc.
@ 1 time I had respect for Cruz..At one time,no longer.He is in the same camp as the Bushies and they both suck
Sooooo funny, I looked at it too as “Rocky opened the convention” first and wondered, like Stallone? Surely not Tim Curry in the lace teddy!
Get over your election loss Cruz.
I’m sorry I voted for the a$$hole in the primary.
Cruz heaped a load OF BS on trusting Texans:
<><> I didn't know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it.
<><> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate.
<><> I didn't know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign.
<><> I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn't report this as required.
<><> And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
Cruz better get packing for Calgary.
Really? Let’s hear from some of these “Cruz forces”. I don’t take the word of so-called journalists on anything.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know.
When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put trusting Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at the time of his birth.
=============================================
Nowadays, these onetime Cruz supporters in Texas are airing their gripes----many are p!ssed at Cruz for not disclosing that as a Senate candidate, he was still a Canadian citizen. And is now expecting the whole country to rationalize that he's a NBC and eligible for the office......
Cruz got clobbered a long time ago...he just hasn't hit the floor, yet.
