Sen. Ted Cruz may be on the list of speakers at the Republican National Convention that Donald Trump said he plans to release on Thursday.
Three sources, including one close to the Trump campaign, tell NBC News that Cruz is in negotiations for a speaking spot at the convention. It would be a notable shift for Trump, who previously said his former opponents who haven't yet endorsed him wouldn't be invited to speak. In response to those comments from Trump, a Cruz spokeswoman said at the time that the Texas senator wasn't expecting to receive any time on the schedule.
If Cruz does indeed speak at the convention, it would be a boon for both the senator and the presumptive GOP nominee, who is still struggling to unite the party behind his candidacy with less than two weeks to go until the convention kicks off in Cleveland. Cruz is widely expected to make another White House run in the future, and his appearance at the convention would further elevate him within the party. It could also help convince his former supporters to back Trump, many of whom remain skeptical of the presumptive nominee — and a small cohort of whom are trying to force a contested convention to oust Trump.

Now that Trump has gone thru 16 candidates, been through hell and back with the media and the never trumps, and this jackass cruz thinks he has the balls to want to speak at Trump's convention?
That really takes stupidity if I have ever seen it...I have been around some people I thought were really in left field, but this cruz idiot is just about as stupid as they come...
Trump can do whatever he wants, it's not for me to say, but I will say this, I have had people around me that are as idiotic as cruz and they never have stayed more than 5 minutes of my time, that's how long it took to tell them what they where and where they stood with me...
Cruz is another Hillary Clinton through and through...he lies, he cheats and he did to the American people...
Born in Canada, sealed his records, didn't let the people in Texas know he had citizenship there, and then lied about the FEC loans, Goldman Sachs and Citi bank; yeah, he's just like Hillary Clinton, lies, lies, lies....good old Lyin Ted!!!
I meant for Cruz to sue “The National Enquirer,” not Trump. Cruz hasn’t. Nor has his father. The allegations stand.
You are right but most people did not understand what was going on. They did understand the JFK murder.
You forgot: Lincoln waged a civil war in order to abolish one of the inalienable rights in the Declaration: the right of secession. From 1965, the U.S. has been an empire rather than a republic.
This reply was an even better rant. Keep going...
OH HELL NO!!! I don’t want to see his face and hear his voice.........he’s like a turd in the swimming pool! Don’t do it Donald......
Sure. Let him speak. There’s a slot available at 4:00 am.
Nope, no sense of humor. None at all. Not even a trace...
The Walking Ted are still among us.....
Trump is a bigger man than Cruz. Regardless of what happens, if Trump does the right thing, he will come out ahead.
Just what the convention needs another Ted plea for money and why we should support Hillary over Trump.
Nothing good will ever come from this slimeball.
Flush the Turd.
Honest answer in return, please.
No “score” to settle. Lyn’ Ted reneged and in so many repeated ways has proved to be a liar. He has no place at the convention and Republicans should be ashamed to even discuss making room for him. He brings nothing but trouble and adds absolutely nothing to the convention or to Trump as he competes to beat Clinton. Cruz should stay home, get to work in DC, or move back to his Canadian homeland.
Sal, this was denied HOURS ago by the Cruz camp. It was a planted hoax by Trump. CBS made the correction as soon as Cruz denounced it as a lie.
Yes, absolutely.
or is this part of the Begala scheme to create a ceiling by creating a false “trump said” story.
Remember Hillary is dependent on demoralization of opposition voters
Hillary is dependent on zombie voters willing to validate her lies for their own self worth.
Remember the Alamo
Remember Pearl Harbor
Remember 9/11
Remember Hillary is a liar.
