Ted Cruz Rewrites Primary History
The Wall Street Journal ^ | July 18, 2016 | Allysia Finley

Posted on 07/18/2016 8:11:00 PM PDT by monkapotamus

Ted Cruz is expected to use his speech Wednesday night in Cleveland to tee up a future presidential bid..

Mr. Cruz blamed his defeat principally on the media, which “liked to paint me as some whacked-out theocrat” and putatively gave Donald Trump $3 billion in free publicity...

Fact check: Mr. Cruz won the Wisconsin primary in early April with the help of the so-called establishment that he loves to hate... in the preceding primaries, Mr. Cruz had gone one for 10..

After winning Wisconsin, Mr. Cruz went on a six-state losing streak in the Northeast...

Fredo will rewrite primary history again in 2018 when he loses his senate seat.

Manafort needs to cancel his speaking slot.

Still not sure why this candidate who promised to support whoever won the primary and hasn’t is speaking.

If that is what he does, he is digging the grave of his own career. Nobody will ever trust him again.

He needs to wake up and give an enthusiastic endorsement to Trump.

IMHO, if Mr Cruz ever expects more of a career in politics, he’ll do nothing but praise Donald Trump and enthusiastically endorse him him for president...

Anything less and he is done for....

So, if Donald Trump wasn’t running, who would people be supporting?

I won’t be watching Ted Cruz speak, and I won’t be voting for him at any point in the future for anything.

I have no respect or regard for Ted Cruz.

Ben Carson would have won if there was no Trump.

Cruz needs to REALLY WORK HARD on getting re-elected to Senate, prior to another Don Quixote run for the White House, as THIS TEXAN will take a lot of convincing to even get me to vote for him in November, 2018, much less the Primary just before that.

I’m with the GOPe now, Cruz is a TOTALLY DISGUSTING person.

I agree. Or install a trap door for a quick exit in the event Dirtbag Ted starts with any rat-fornication.

Has anyone ever been booed at their own party’s convention?

“So, if Donald Trump wasn’t running, who would people be supporting?”

Can’t say for FR, but Jeb would EASILY be the nominee - no one else had the means (money or media) to compete.

Jeb had a double digit lead before Trump entered and he had all the cash. He probably would have won because Trump was the only one to take Jeb on.

Yeah, at this point I've had enough of Ted. Unless he pulls a rabbit of the hat with his speech this week and comes on in for the big win, I can't see supporting him again.

If his speech on Wednesday is anything less than a full-throated endorsement of Trump, I will contribute 500 dollars to Cruz’s Democrat senate opponent.
