Wasn’t Rush a Cruz guy for awhile? Anyway, interesting take. I didn’t used to think so, but Cruz is slimy IMO.

Maybe it was in part to magnanimously let Cruz blow off steam. He wanted to, so Trump granted it. Maybe it was in order to make Trump look better, not worse — to show that Trump isn’t going to bite everybody’s head off forever. If they want to wallow in their own hells of hate, it won’t be Donald’s fault.

He still is, if McCain did this he would have roasted him

I agree. Trump was a class act to allow Cruz his moment. Also showed Trump could be in a battle with someone and afterwards be gracious to them.

Exactly what I said last night here:

Whether Cruz knew it or not Trump allowed this to go forward for a reason.

I didn’t know about the fly-over at the Cruz rally. Interesting little tidbit.

I always thought that. It's common for the lamestream media to say that Trump is a "self promoter", but Cruz beats out Trump in that area by far.

Rush doesn’t really impress me. Don’t get the cult-like following especially here on FR. People here should know better than to follow any man really. People here should know the great need of our time is for hearts to turn back to trusting God and not man.

Everybody’s a self promoter, and first in line is the Lying Leftist MSM.

I'm reading some conservative blogs who think that it's inevitable that if Trump wins, he's gonna be impeached, because he's so incompetent. It's gonna be so bad that, to save the country, we're gonna have to impeach the guy. This is also in an opinion piece on what Cruz did last night.
 
Seriously?? Where is any evidence that Cruz would be competent - from when he first threw his hat in the ring up to present day opportunity after opportunity came along for him to show his alleged acumen & intelligence - he would either do nothing or else do the total opposite, every time. He would botch it. I worked and voted for him to get into the Senate expecting him to work at getting a movement going to slow down if not stop the Regime - and TtThppff! - nothing, except a bunch of windbag speeches and press releases about what needs to be done. He wasn't even a speedbump to Obama & the Gang. Trump is the one who got a movement going and has been accomplishing most of what I was expecting Cruz to do. Cruz is a damned windbag - that's all he is.

Trump was probably ready to come out on stage no matter how the Cruz thing turn out. Trump is a ready business guy. Either way it works out in Trumps favor.

I never heard Rush explicitly endorse any candidate. He never does in any election cycle. He just lambasts the Dems.

It is possible that when God has carried us along doing something mighty, our egos find feet and walk us into regions of hell, leaving us vulnerable to despair.

It happened even with prophets. Elijah outdid the prophets of Baal, but then when Jezebel piped up with an impotent death threat, he mistakenly concluded that he was worth nothing. No, God’s plans were working. He wanted to allow Jezebel to keep living and raging for His own reasons. It was always about God; it never was about Elijah.

Yes, Cruz was cleverly used a poster boy for what the GOPe did become. Trump wisely let Cruz have his 15 minutes...now it would be stupid of Cruz not endorse Trump even though he is stumping for the 2020 pres run — which he would not get unless by default since the lawless RATS cannot produce a candidate that does not stand for the DemocRat Mafia.

So in reality Cruz punked himself which Trump and his advisors probably just smiled at each other.

Trump didn’t “use” Cruz. He knew Cruz would be childish enough to make himself look bad. Any leader knows when to let a fool have his rope.

You know you can just hear the Democrat Consultants this AM making that call to one another...”Hey Akmed it’s Shamequa..damn that Trump is going to be tough, see the way he took out Cruz last night, PIAPS is too damn stupid to pull off a stunt like that. We got our hands full. At least with Obama he was a suitable sock puppet and the dolts liked him. We better dredge up more cop killer stories and more solar panel promises or we are toast. In fact don’t repeat this anyone but a Republican consultant called me and well I’m thinking about it, it’s more money and I can be home with my 2 kids, Dad is not in the picture as you know...”
