That Moment When Ted Cruz Doused Himself With Gasoline and Lit the Match On Stage (video)…
The Last Refuge ^ | July 20, 2016 | sundance

It’s called self immolation. July 20th 2016 will go down in Cruz family history as that moment when Ted Cruz detonated his career suicide belt and created the #NeverCruz movement.

Forget the non endorsement, that’s not the issue. Senator Cruz had a remarkable opportunity, he blew it. Cruz accepted an invitation to speak to the GOP convention then insulted the audience. Cruz couldn’t rise above his own brutal ego and petty selfishness. The arrogance simply went too far, he humiliated himself in front of millions.

Watch and see for yourself:..

It happened just like we predicted it would. Donald Trump gave Senator Ted Cruz the rope, and Ted hung himself -diminished himself- on national TV.

Don’t be too angry… The backlash Cruz is going to get from his prideful and arrogant display will be written in the annals of political history and shared with political science classes for generations.

I’ve only been listening to Levin for 6 months, before that it did not fit my schedule. So I don’t know the “old Levin’. But the new Levin likes to shout out principles with little or no context. If they really are the principles of the future after the USA spends some time in the wilderness then he needs to show it through concrete examples and actions. Cruz and Levin are not walking the walk, they are all talk.

EXACTLY!

Cruz just gave aid and comfort to the ENEMY!

Cruz is a TRAITOR not just to the Republican Party, but to America!

Cruz is dead to me, and I was one of his biggest supporters here.

Agreed they should be. However, truth be told, I don’t care if he was born on the Fourth of July in Philadelphia, I won’t vote for Lyin’ Ted who broke his pledge!!

Lame Cherry said it best - I am stunned after observing Ted Cruz, for Donald Trump provided Mr. Cruz the golden microphone to set Cruz’s future, and for some reason, Ted Cruz wrapped his neck in the cord, jumped off the stage, and then beat himself to death.

I see your point. It was really a no-lose situation for Trump, to hand Cruz the rope. Either Cruz would hang himself and help Trump, or toss it aside & help Trump.

“I can’t tell you just how angry I am at Cruz, he’s such a total jerk.”

Ted forced me to remove the blinders from my eyes when he voted to end debate on TPA last year. It was in that moment, that I saw him for the globalist Obama clone he truly is.

We really missed a bullet with that one.

Now that is interesting. The question is what was Newt basing that on. Did he have knowledge of Ted’s speech or was that just his expectation without that knowledge.

That is the art of the Deal. Trump plays chess and saw that this would be Ted destroying himself in the wrong place.

Dang, what is wrong with the people in the suite that restrained the guy who went after the disgraceful Cruz? (I know, I know, they have some class and decency unlike their Canadian suite mate)

Cruzbots are the only listeners Levin has left.
And the size of his listenership is shrinking everyday.

He can’t afford to lose the only small group of listeners he has left.

Lol! Yep! He is the styrofoam box!
