Oh Carly, ya blew it!

You too, Gov. Walker.

We heard that coming home from out of town last night as we were listening to the NY returns, super creepy....something isn’t right.

Did you see this?

Sounds like St. Ted did nothing to oppose?

“He was probably thinking about disaster as it applies to him - 9/11, Pearl Harbor, events like that.”

Yeah I think you are right but man he could have phrased it better

[exDemMom]

Oh, my, that is so bizarre.

No wonder the guy can’t even win a primary where people vote! He is a lunatic!

[jpsb]

[Gene Eric]

And yet he phrased it worse.

It is almost as if Cruz is being held hostage in the race by his captors (National Review, Levin GOP-e) and he is sending distress signals to get out.

Check the video to see if he's blinking his eye to send a distress message!   ;-)

[silverleaf]

I don’t think so
“Americans love a winner but they will not tolerate a loser”
Patton had it right
Cruz is less and less tolerable

[commonguymd]

What the heck does that mean? Secret message to Amanda Carpenter perhaps.

[DannyTN]

Ted thinks he is best when he is lying.

Putting all of the perverted connotations aside:
I can’t imagine what period of history where America was figuratively so knocked down that “she” was “lying on her back”? Perhaps that is where Teddy thinks we need to be for him to rebuild the country? I have no idea.

Cruz obviously does not have the grasp of history he thinks he does. America has been in some tight jams but NEVER has America "been on her back" as say, Japan was at the end of World War II, or Germany, or England after endless wave of Nazi bombers (over which they DID prevail), America has taken some gut punches to be sure, but knocked on her back?

Cruz, you demented know-nothing, is that what they taught you in pre-school in Canada?

Do us all a favor and GTF back up there.

I think the approach of laying his defeat off on Trump, or any man for that matter by using America-on-the-mat as a vehicle screams “we were knocked down by an enemy - all of us” “We now have to get back up and send Trump to Guantanamo or whatever.” “Donald is the evil one here - I am the appointed messenger.” It was Ted Cruz that got knocked on his butt; not even Ted and his voters. I’d probably believe Ted Cruz and his “delegates,” However.

I just don’t buy him, I don’t like his tone, his boasting about being a “rules” nerd, laughing off condemnation for it and saying the word “delegates” probably more times than he uses the word “voters.”

Yesterday was just the harbinger of events to come Ted. You’ve got some time to prepare a decent concession speech. About a half dozen or so.

[Lumper20]

Same here as the first time I heard him was his announcement at Liberty. I listened for awhile and watched his mannerisms. This clown is all about being an actor, saying what he thinks people want to hear. His wife is a SDA who has Goldman Sachs’ agenda. These two are like Bill and Hillary except Cruz is not slick enough.

[dynoman]

Wow. Sad. So not brilliant.

[combat_boots]

I don’t understand his comment.

[montanajoe]

Say whaTTT?

[tacticalogic]

I don’t understand his comment.

Think "Pearl Harbor".

[patriot08]

My first thoughts, too. lol
