Cruz royally screwed up. Ironically this is forcing the insiders who hate Cruz and trump supporters to unite.

Adelson made this gracious invitation only to have the lying farce Cruz take a dump on it. What a dishonourable creep.

Ted is pretty cocky seeing as how he is a Canadian who is not eligible to hold the office.

Sheldon Adelson speaks to Ted Cruz: “Mr. Cruz, You and Heidi have been BANISHED from my luxury suite, FOREVER! Like Adam & Eve banished from Eden. You know what you did!! Go. Go away and stay away!!”

Cruz made the dumbest bet of his life: that Donald Trump will fail. And when Trump succeeds in Office, you can bet that people will remember who tried to underhandedly block Trump from winning.

And they will remember Lyin' Ted Cruz, the Cuban from Calgary.

Even today he lied that Trump attacked his wife and that Trump accused his father of being involved in the Kennedy assassination.

This man talks big, but cannot be trusted because he is only in it for himself.

Even if Trump loses, Ted has still lost the trust of many former supporters. What he did caused direct harm to the party. This is far worse and more calculated than Chris Christy palling around with Obama after that hurricane.

And Cruz had the guts today to qoute R Reagan on the republican party. Yet the sordid SOB forgot something, Ronald Reagan ENDORSED his opponent. Then, promptly went on to give one of the best speeches I have every listened to.

Ted Cruz is a waste of skin.

Sheldon is a practical man.
even though i wish he did not do this, he had the right to do it
and
maybe it might help get the message through to Cruz that he’s acting very very badly

we have to defeat Hilliary!

DT was not my candidate but he is now OUR candidate and he is the one that will, hopefully, defeat the wicked witch for us now.

“What he did caused direct harm to the party. “

Yup.

Trump might as well have given that speaking spot to Hillary.

You just don’t get invited to someone’s party and then insult the host. I didn’t even care whether he endorsed Trump or not but we all know what “vote your conscience” is code for.

Apparently one of these book smart people with absolutely NO common sense.

Cruz had better get used to being snubbed. Look to the Republicans to run a strong Mexican-American conservative against him in the Texas primary.
