Woah – Robert Mercer Excoriates Ted Cruz For His Non Endorsement Convention Speech…
There were some who clung to the belief that Senator Ted Cruz could survive his belittling, too-cute-by-half, selfish convention speech. That group just lost a whole lot of members with this published story.
Robert Mercer, the renegade, outlaw (non traditional) political billionaire who determines where all other outlaw political billionaires go with their view$, has just delivered a non recoverable smack down upon Senator Ted Cruz.
Noted, of course, is the vessel (NYT) utilized by an angry Mercer – to deliver the message and drive home the scope of his rebuke:
(Via New York Times) In an extraordinary public rebuke, two influential donors who were among the biggest supporters of Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign excoriated Mr. Cruz on Saturday for his decision not to endorse Donald J. Trump at the Republican National Convention.
The remarks from Robert Mercer of Long Island and his daughter Rebekah Mercer suggest widening fallout over Mr. Cruz’s convention speech, in which he did not endorse his former rival and, instead, suggested that Republicans should “vote your conscience” for candidates “up and down the ticket.”
“Last summer and again this year, Senator Ted Cruz pledged to support the candidacy of the nominee of the Republican Party, whomever that nominee might be,” the Mercers, who rarely comment in the news media, said in the statement to The New York Times.
“We are profoundly disappointed that on Wednesday night he chose to disregard this pledge. The Democratic Party will soon choose as their nominee a candidate who would repeal both the First and Second Amendments of the Bill of Rights, a nominee who would remake the Supreme Court in her own image. We need ‘all hands on deck’ to ensure that Mr. Trump prevails”.
“Unfortunately, Senator Cruz has chosen to remain in his bunk below, a decision both regrettable and revealing.” (read more)
This is HUGE…. Remember, Mercer bought and built the entire Cambridge Analytics empire specifically for Ted Cruz. Then Mercer purchased Breitbart to assist the endeavor; then Mercer put $11 million into Cruz super-PAC’s.
Oh man, this is delicious.
Especially because Fox News is already going full moonbat.
Additionally, this could mean the following political Sea Island attendees are also forced, for sake of their own political reelection skin, to go “Full Trump”:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Kentucky), political guru Karl Rove, ? House Speaker Paul Ryan, GOP Senators •Tom Cotton (Arkansas), •Cory Gardner (Colorado), •Tim Scott (South Carolina), •Rob Portman (Ohio) and •Ben Sasse (Nebraska).

Remember when it comes time to Cantorize them
The Cubanadian has burned his last bridge while standing on it, he has no political career.
seems Mr. Cruz’ mouth wrote a ticket that his ass is going to have to pay.
IMO. couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Robert Mercer wasted $11 million.
Ted’s flameout has been astounding. This guy flushed his entire career in a matter of 3 months. As is so often revealed, some of the smartest people are really some of the dumbest. As Don Jr. Said, he received his training from ppl with PhD’s in common sense.
Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
He's a clown, that Charlie Brown
He's gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
(Why's everybody always pickin' on me)
That's him on his knees
I know that's him
Yeah, from 7 come 11
Down in the boys' gym
Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
He's a clown, that Charlie Brown
He's gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
(Why's everybody always pickin' on me)
I hear rumblings that some want to see Perry challenge Cruz for the Senate seat next election. That will be tasty!
I agree! Burnt ToasTED!!!
It seems highly unlikely that he’d speak publicly about this now—without having spoken privately to Cruz before Cruz’s immolation.
Sheldon Adelson locked him out of his sky box.
The Texas delegation publicly chastised him.
Big money donors Bill Mercer and his daughter slammed him in the NYT.
Now lets see what the Wilkes brothers say/do.
Sounds good to me.
Ted Cruz’s political career is over.
I know several people who were staunch Cruz supporters throughout the primaries who now look upon him as a leper. He’s finished.
I think Dan Patrick or Greg Abbott are more likely.
This cycle it looks like Portman will win. Not long ago, I would have cheered such news.
Wikileaks also uncovered exchanging of emails with Ted and the DNC wanting their help. He’ll be lucky to still be in politics by 2020.
Lyin’ Ted was ALWAYS a Bush Establishmentarian based on his voting record including his and Heidi’s anti-American “NO BORDERS” push for Goldman-Sachs..
Early on, Lyin’ Ted’s partnering with Glen Beck should have been a clue.
It just took awhile for some to finally see through his fake facade.
Ted was so smarmy. Starting with the story of the murdered police officers little daughter. His attempts at emotional manipulation were transparent and cringe worthy.
He proved himself emotionally immature, unable to squelch his personal ambition while using his wife and father as props also.
I imagine the moment that might have been. Ted teases then endorses Trump...thunderous applause, smiling cheering party atmosphere. Unity and joy would prevail.
Instead he choose to be the ultimate buzz kill.
Yes it was!
