But even Paul Ryan is saying we need to send Trump to the White House over Crooked Hillary.

Ted Cruz could not bring himself to say even that.

[Girlene]

Ryan - We need to send Pence and Trump to the white House

Pence up!

[Shortstop7]

Yeah, he said he was proud of the man that we (the people) had nominated. Ryan has lost his mind.

[Biggirl]

Even Speaker Ryan was gracious. Wish Sen. Cruz was gracious himself.

[Pravious]

“I don’t see a slam of Cruz either.

Newt told the crowd THEY misunderstood Cruz, a great orator.

Newt tried to fill the hole that Cruz dug.

Newt did that to repair the unity that Cruz had shredded.

Newt KNOWS what the media would do with the crap Cruz caused.

and tried to mitigate it.”

But that’s the SLAM - don’t you get it? Cruz went through ALL that trouble to be an offensive, arrogant, narcissistic prick, and by Newt turning it all around (by suggesting that Cruz meant something he obviously didn’t) just pulled the rug out from under Cruz’s petty behavior. BAM.

Nice to see Paul Ryan enthusiastically endorsing.. oh, Pence. Too bad he wasn’t 1/100th as enthusiastic about Trump himself.

#CruzWordWorthSquat

I already tweeted your words.

[CAluvdubya]

did u see that smirky smile cruz had on his face .

Yes! It was after he tried to blame all the booing on just the NY delegates.

I've never seen anything like this. Cruz is done....

[AndyJackson]

Newt told the crowd THEY misunderstood Cruz, a great orator. Newt tried to fill the hole that Cruz dug.

Obviously you have no sense of irony or sarcasm. Newt twisted Cruz's words, stuffed them down his throat and then threw Cruz into the hole he dug for himself.

You just saw genius in action and were too dumb to see it. Go off and think about it quietly until you understand what happened.

[nopardons]

No, he was PROMOTING HIMSELF !

And in essence, told his followers to NOT vote for Trump.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I guess they had to escort Heidi off the floor. Repots of Cruz donors calling him a disgrace to his face as he left the convention center.

[bigbob]

And that’s what people will remember if/when Cruz again tries to advance his political ambitions. Poor form. Small ball. Sore loser.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I finally calmed down enought to post, and not get a time out after 16 years here.

I have never seen such a petulant, whiny, self indulgent, messiah complex performance in my life. It’s Elmer Gantry meshed with the Riddler from Batman. All that was missing was the creepy makeup.

I can’t believe, early on, I fell for Cruz’s bs. He’s as fake as the Clinton marriage.

He ended his political career tonight (come on Texas, vote his arse out! Even if you have to give the seat to a Dim). Fortunately, what we all saw was what everyone in the Senate had already experienced, so the lucrative K Street might NOT materialize.

After his political demise, I predict Miss Hidey will drop her “conservative” Bill Clintonesque husband quickly. She makes good coin w/Goldman Sachs (love that the crowd chanted that) and she had to leave. In disgrace.

And tomorrow, I’m going to do something I swore I wouldn’t do EVER again....going to tune into Beck. He, and his cronies, spin on the self
Immolation of Cruz should be classic.

Mr. Trump was gracious, tried for unity, and gave Cruz his time. Cruz has no one to blame but Cruz.

[RKBA Democrat]

I wonder what the most brilliant lawyer in the room was thinking? Martyrdom complex?

That was just a plain stupid move. And that crowd is certainly a fiery bunch.

[kabar]

Newt made lemonade out of a huge lemon. He tried to get the convention back on track after the skunk left the stage.

[AndyJackson]

It wasn’t subtle at all.

[map]

Double entendre.

[4Liberty]

OH no, not Ryno. 😡

[ObozoMustGo2012]

[ If it’s the one submitted, Team Trump must be letting him slit is own wrists.]

I would bet that was part of the plan. Might explain why Trump can out to the crowd during it.

[maggief]

ps. Looked very coordinated, complete with the Heidi “escort” out of the building.

Pathetic.

[combat_boots]

I meant the rambling, wild-eyed, 30 minute speech.
