Cruz let his own outsized ambition get the best of him.

He deserves his political banishment.

The Cubanadian was never eligible.

Stick a fork in Ted, he’s done.

I’m sure he can line up a nice job at Goldman Sachs.

Great article.

I would only add that Newt did amazing damage control after Ted’s debacle, and removed the stink from the hall so Pence could shine.

And Pence did shine.

Trump knows how to pick ‘em.

And after this career making hanging that Cruz did to himself, he went to his supporter for comfort and he wouldn't let him in...

He tried the next day to make speeches but the supporters that once were his, turned against him and let him know it...

Texas I think was the most embarrassed by Cruz's actions, and now they have a big decision to make...I would unseat the lying, low life if I lived in Texas...

Why did he even go? And then come out and say it was because Trump smeared his father and wife...the Rubio camp was the one that let that out, and they are the ones that let the picture of Melania out also, and as far as his father, he's nothing but an illegal, lying, fool....married to two women at one time...it's no wonder Ted is the fool he is, look where the seed came from...

Jeff Kuhner ( wrko am 680, yesterday From the RNC floor ) noted he heard that Cruz maybe in trouble in TX for his re-election, Ditto that from Laura Ingraham today. I have been saying 2 days before his firewall he is finished politically and I stand by it.

I've been to most of the GOP conventions since 1980, and I've never seen anything like it. These people stood on their feet and booed. These are Republicans! They don't do this. They don't know how to stand up and boo. And yet, Cruz so divided them and worked them into such frenzy that it happened.

Cruz tried to pass it off as just the New York delegation acting up. But that is wrong. The whole hall was in an uproar. You couldn't even hear the last two paragraphs of Cruz's speech because the booing had reached such a crescendo.

St Ted self destrucTED

Kudlow is a good man, I think, but he’s spent too much time with the mini-cons at NR.

I don’t believe “Vote your conscience” meant “vote for Hillary, so much as he wasn’t going to endorse Trump.

Besides, you can’t really take the guy seriously if he’s going to give up his citizenship in Canada to become president

Cruz and the conservative “intelligentsia “ are putting their own financial gain and hurt feelings ahead of the country.

Non eligible, not Natural Born Citizen,

You ignorant birther. For your information Ted Cruz's mother was born and raised in Delaware, which makes Ted Cruz a natural born citizen, no matter where he was born.

BTW I did not vote for Ted Cruz in the TN primary election on March 1, and I did not vote for Donald Trump either, but I will vote for him in the general Election on November 8.

A lot of people say Cruz was trying to lay groundwork for 2020, Cruz is now trying to say it was about Heidi and Dada....

I think it was actually a calculated gamble to try and kick off a third party run this year. If he had found support inside the hall, I would bet he was going to try and glom onto another parties ticket. Instead he found no support and completed detonated any chance not only for 2020 but for even retaining his senate seat.

The sad thing is if Cruz had played ball, had stuck to the themes of the party and convention he would have been regarded as magnanimous and probably would have secured a spot in the Admin and possibly the Supreme court.

I believe the public is missing the best point about Cruz’s speech. Tell me a name of any democratic speakers being allowed to speak at their convention historically that was anything but right on the topic for who was getting approved for the job and any of the points that may offer any questions as to their viability. I can save you some time.....none.

By allowing Cruz to speak and say what he wanted, further satisfied me that I belong to the party that displays honesty and integrity by not trying to lie and cheat the public out of their opinions. We throw the whole possibility at our party and give them the best overall choice for their leadership. Our elite people in our party, and they do exist, proved again this year they do not tell our constituents who they are going to vote for. We don’t crown our royalty right up to the end of their acceptance and afterwards. We are still open to suggestions for a better way. The libs tell their people what the way will be and who it will be long before they get there. I’m glad I’m a conservative. Not because of what they were. But because of what they are trying to be........ BETTER!

Rush just had a caller and trashed Trump for not cow towing to Cruz. Rush is going to play Trumps interview this morning illustrating how he doesn’t care about Cruz.
