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.

We can use this. Sanders supporters and Independents will NEVER want to choose the candidate who Cruz prefers.

Dig this from Breitbart:

“Reactions were even harsher behind the scenes. Dana Bash of CNN reports that Cruz entered a donor suite at the arena after the speech, and was told, to his face, that he was a “disgrace.” One man was so angry at Cruz that he had to be “physically restrained,” and Heidi Cruz had to be escorted from the convention floor because of heckling by Trump delegates.

I feel sorry for Carly...he screwed her over...

And I feel sorry for the kids. Especially remember when he forced a kiss on one of them...for the camera.

Now in retrospect, it is easy to see why there were problems in the Ctuz family. I had considered him a steadfast conservative on life and religious freedom, but he now seems neither steadfast nor conservative but petty and vain.

I don’t get it; if Cruz was not there to endorse Trump, then why was he there? It is not about Cruz. Does he not get that? The country is at stake.

IMO this was the begining of a Ted Cruz write in campaign. He is going to try to garner enough votes in the Midwest to stop Trump. Heven wants Hillary elected so he can run against her in 2020.

Cruz was fine until he threw in with Glenn Beck - that's when the wheels started coming off. Beck is a complete numbskull, no idea what happened to him, but he pulled Cruz down with him.

I suppose the reason the Trump campaign let Ted Cruz on the stage tonight is that if you give a man enough rope, he can either use it to pull himself out of a hole, or hang himself.

Ted Cruz chose poorly tonight.

On the other hand, he might standing in his hotel room right now, muttering "I should have ended with, you won't have Ted Cruz to kick around anymore."

He “could have been a contender,” but he blew it.

“vote your conscience as long as it’s for someone who will protect the constitution” is code for his cult followers to vote Libertarian so Hillary will win.

The man is a nithling; a nothing, a man with no honor or character.

Cruz is a hamburger, fries, coke and a toy short of a happy meal.

You’re probably right. But I don’t think he’ll get enough write in votes to make a difference. People are seeing him for what he really is. He’s as evil as Hillary and, as my wife says, like Bill Clinton, he hides behind a Bible.

On top of that, a 2020 campaign won’t get off the ground. His career is over. In fact, Texas may recall his butt.

Remember last June when everyone was saying Trump was a plant and a dupe for the Clinton campaign. Hmmm. I wonder who the plant and dupe is now, huh Ted Cruz?
