Denecruz tenders his concession speech.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said in an interview airing Sunday that GOP front-runner Donald Trump may encourage riots if he does not win the Republican nomination in Cleveland this summer.
Asked on CBS' "Face the Nation" if he was concerned about the possibility of violence if he were able to "overthrow" Trump with the delegates in Cleveland, Cruz insisted there wouldn't but said that Trump might try to fan the flames.
"No, it won't, although Donald may do everything he can to encourage riots," he said. "You know, overthrow is such a loaded spin word as ... to bring nothing but chuckles."
Gerald Ford and Abraham Lincoln both won their respective nominations despite coming in with fewer votes than their opponents, he added, so it wouldn't be the first time that the candidate who comes out of a convention is the one who didn't win the most votes during the primaries.
"When we arrive in Cleveland, I'm going have a bunch of delegates," he said. "Donald's going have a bunch of delegates. And it's going be a battle to see who can earn the support of a majority of the delegates elected by the people."

Cruz is entering REVOLTING category. GTFA
We have become comfortably Trump.
Oh, but you know a slimy lawyer can squeeze out of that charge.
The more that comes out of this guy, Ted Cruz’s mouth, I believe this fool is totally insane. And....the creepy people he surrounds himself with is frightening, his wife, “Strange” Carly Fiorina, raving lunatic, Glenn Beck his total nutcase father, etc. Governor, Mike Pence must have been on reefer or insane, to endorse this oddball, screwball!!! Sad!!!
Is there really any Indiana voter follish enough to cast a vote for this obvious loser....from head to to, Ted Cruz? Go figure folks!!!
Support & vote for Donald J. Trump on this coming Tuesday in the GOP POTUS Primary election in Indiana!!!

Denecruz tenders his concession speech.
Now, he's over a K.
Ted you are out of line.
What Cruz is really saying is that any and all leftist anti-Trump riots will be blamed on Trump by the GOPe/Cruz in an attempt to sabotage Trump’s camnpaign against Hillary. In order to elect Hillary. The GOPe vastly prefers a president Hillary.
I think the key problem with Cruz’s quote is that Trump is not going to lose.
However, I am worried that they intend to have some of these Cruz delegates who should be Trump delegates, violate the rules and refuse to vote for Trump on the first ballot.
I think it’s coming, engineered by the Bush family and other insiders.
And Rush Limbaugh is preparing everyone to believe it was all “legal”.
Someone tell me how they can still support Cruz, please!
So Cruz is saying that if he doesn’t get it, Trump will cause riots. Seems like he is trying to scare people to support him...

The GOP Bush era is finally over and I for one is glad.
““encouraged—
Way to go. You just broke the internet again.
I need an updated pic. But with the same Ted picture.
Says the delegate thief.
What vile rat this bastard is.
But Ted just said: “And it’s going be a battle to see who can earn the support of a majority of the delegates elected by the people.”
That’s a clear commitment by Senator Cruz to ignore all his delegates which were not elected by the people. And I’m glad he’s finally rejecting those delegates.
That is unless he, umm, “mispoke” again.
He is getting desperate, because he knows he will not win it.
“YOU are the one with a bunch of delegates that were given to you...Not by the people, but by the GOPe...”
That is the damn truth.
