Thanking his volunteers in Cleveland a day after the Republican National Convention wrapped, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump today slammed Ted Cruz's Wednesday night speech and said he “will not accept” if the Texas senator ever decides to endorse him.
"He'll come and endorse over the next little while. It's because he has no choice," Trump said. "But I don't want his endorsement. What difference does it make?"
"Ted, just stay home, relax, enjoy yourself," Trump.

LOL! He must have been confused as to which doctrinal hat he was wearing at that moment!
See post 129.
If only.... Stupid move on Cruz’s part. His big chance was to be a magnanimous big-hearted man and endorse Trump while condemning Hillary. He could have been a SCOTUS contender. Instead, he was his usual petty egomaniac self. Lose with Cruz.
[Then all he needed to do was say “Ted’s Ted,” and then say, “Next question.”]
Why would he need to say that?
Cruz created a major faux pas and essentially insulted Trump when he was being gracious. He’s not going to let Ted get away with it, esp when a overwhelming majority of Republicans are not happy with Cruz’s actions.
A tail of two Teds...(Ted Kennedy and Ted Cruz)
Both ended their career by going off a bridge instead of over it
Bol! You may be the person who posted that Cruz is about to throw the evangelical shtick on the garbage heap of history. I didn’t see it firsthand, but evidently Ted signalled that that affiliation hadn’t panned out, and his next iteration would omit it.
I confess I laughed too hard over Cruz’ “some kind of wacko theocrat,” comments even to type. Can’t imagine where anyone would get the notion Rafael might be a whacko theocrat...
I read that the speech Cruz submitted for vetting ran ~seven minutes. Then he substituted his 2020 campaign kickoff speech...which ran for 27 minutes.
As you said, he loves the sound of his voice.
Bol!
Apparently somebody asked him... And lying Ted has been out in front of every camera he can find, falsely accusing Trump of attacking Hidey and his pappy preacher Cruz. And the Cruz-mites 'believe' the lies, that was why lying Ted would NOT endorse Trump. Ted Cruz is a pathological liar... much like the Clintons and Obama... They just cannot help themselves. They were born that way.
“You may be the person who posted that Cruz is about to throw the evangelical shtick on the garbage heap of history.”
I think he will go full Mormon and relocate to states they have great or overwhelming influence in. He is at least half way there already, when you look at his most rabid backers. And... he can keep the Dominionist crap. Dominionism AND Mormonism are much more malleable for neocon and globalist purposes anyway.
Please note I don’t think any of this has anything to do with actual beliefs. Those, I think are nonexistent amongst those who have opted for worldly power.
Cruz needs to be exposed for the liar he literally is... Cruz has spent these past two days falsely accusing Trump of attaching his Hidey and his pappy preacher Cruz. Trump is setting the record straight... Just like he promised.
Well this does sound like a very puckish Donald saying “who needs you?”
What a fascinating theory! Mormons do seem outsizedly [sorry; I know it’s not a word] attracted to Cruz. A Narcissist, meanwhile, is attracted to anyone who compliments and supports/praises him.
One problem: alcohol. Cruz loves him some scotch. Perhaps he’ll get a dispensation.
I have read repeatedly on this site that Trump attacked Hidey? Flat out LIE... and that Trump accused pappy preacher Cruz. Flat out LIE... Now you 25% that seem to need to believe LIES stop preaching to the one who WON!!!! Either work to keep Hillry out of the White House or go bury your head in Cruz's fig leaf.
Trump is doing some housekeeping this morning and the garbage truck is on its way to take out the garbage.
I see no fantasy written here.

WELL JOE...TO EACH THEIR OWN..
BUT THE DONALD HAS SURVIVED A TOUGH FIGHT WITH A MEDIA THAT TRIES DAILY TO DESTROY HIM...
IT HASN’T WORKED, BECAUSE, WE AMERICANS HAVE AWAKENED AND ARE SICK OF THE SO CALLED WASHINGTON LEADERS...
THE DONALD HAS BEEN A SUCCESS ALL HIS LIFE, I’LL TRUST HIM...
Y’ALL HAVE A BLESSED WEEK END AHEAD...PRAY FOR AMERICA...
You must not have children. Donald is doing Ted Cruz another favor. Cruz attempted to moon Trump, and then lied about why he showed his ass... as if Cruz is calling the shots... What Cruz cannot comprehend is that Trump speaks for US... and we the people did NOT elect Ted Cruz... Spare the rod (metaphorically, speaking) spoil the child... NOBODY ever took the proverbial 'rod' to Ted Cruz for his pathological lying... Might as well learn it now, sure would NOT want the one that HATES liars to have to reprimand.
“If Trump followed all the advice that was offered here we would be having a Bush-Hillary race.”
Oh, I know it. I just get sick and tired of the media, INCLUDING FOX, trashing him all the time. He’s the GOP nominee and the trashing will never end. They would all rather Clinton be elected than Trump. That includes each and every one of the Cruzbots, and the snarky Krauthammers, Humes and Hayes that are paid millions of dollars a year to offer their nothing opinions.
“The news cycle “was” about Hillary’s VP pick...”
“Not anymore!”

Bingo!
Bol!
Thanks!
