“yet never could have predicted the scope of vitriol his decision would elicit”

maybe ted couldn’t, but almost everyone else in the world who has at least two neurons in their skull that can bang against each other could have EASILY predicted the scope of the vitriol. about as easy as predicting the vitriol that would result if Cruz had spoken at the NAACP convention and begin screaming the N-word at all the attendees.

Zombies always vote for Dems, so, by extrapolation...

The only good news out of this is that the dens will believe the msm spin. What they don’t realize is that Trump has unified the party more than anyone understands

Thanks, Kent.

I feel much less stressed, now.

“The lying media. he wasn’t booed off the stage.”

I watched it live on C-Span and MY impression was EXACTLY that he got booed off the stage, plus a little help from the “hook” that Trump pulled when Trump showed up on the convention floor at the end of Cruz’s speech and all the cameras and attention turned to Trump while Cruz floundered and continued to be booed until he left the stage. That’s being booed off the stage in my book.

Rafael Cruz must have really and truly enjoyed that airplane ride with Obama on Air Force One.

Makes me wonder if jefferson blythe enjoyed his bj from lo-retta.

Trump might have figured out Cruz would try a 3rd party run or something so he gave him the rope so Cruz could hang himself . Now everyone knows what Cruz is a liar and a jerk and a Canadian foreigner that should really leave my country right now.

I hoped he would endorse. I thought he would, because the alternative could be taken as an endorsement of Hillary, and surely he wouldn't do that?

But he did. He had an opportunity to accept his loss graciously and to unite the party, and he rejected it.

Another one tosses himself under the bulldozer.

I got 2 calls about 6 hours before Cruz’s speech from the Cruz campaign team. I didn’t answer the calls, but that was what came up on the caller ID. Makes one wonder.

Ted Cruz got up and proved tonight to the immediate world that the better man did win the nomination - Donald Trump.

“Trump might have figured out Cruz would try a 3rd party run or something so he gave him the rope so Cruz could hang himself”

Looks that way. Trump tweeted after the convention that he’d seen the speech a couple of hours before Ted spoke, and deliberately let him go ahead and do it anyway. Anyone reading that speech before hand would have had to know that Cruz would be committing political suicide in an EXTREMELY public manner.

To me, the real question is how come Cruz didn’t know that’s what was going to happen. Insanity? Monumental arrogance? Completely out of touch with reality?

I hope not also.

however, I saw an email on another thread that someone said they received today , Cruz asking for donations and said freedom and the constitution a lot and to fight for that and he will or something like that , sounded just like his speech and asked to donate whatever you can

Hopefully Cruz self destructed tonight

There must have been nevertrumpers telling him this was a great idea. Some commenters on NR actually thought it was the bravest thing ever in politics. Which it wasn’t. It was egotistical and classless.

Cruz has always been socially tone deaf. Probably has a touch of autism.

All of that and Cruz probably also thinks he a Canadian Harvard educated foreigner is much smarter than these American and Texas jokels he will fool with his lies and that he is so much smarter than anyone and he did fool many not me and not a lot of us.

He thinks that if he says the words freedom and the Constitution and fight for freedom and etc. a few times in a speech in his stupid fake preacher I'm so sincere fake act that he will have Americans cheering and following him . and he did fool a lot . But not tonite . Everyone is on to this fraud now.
