More nonsense. Trump also ignored her fall and for the same reason. With the noise, Cruz couldn’t hear her fall, and his back was turned so Cruz didn’t hear her fall. Stuff happens, and it’s not always proof that Cruz is part vampire and part Orc.

The biggest criticism of Cruz is that he didn’t give up to make way for Trump. ~~Yawn~~ Trump is going to take the nomination anyways, and Cruz is a much better backup if something happens to Trump’s health than Kasich would be - read Kasich on immigration, Obamacare, the Assault Weapons Ban, gay marriage, Obama’s Supreme Court nomination, and other issues! Trump is also doing a terrible job of choosing convention delegates (look at how many Cruz has “stolen” by following the rules strategically, when Trump, despite his popular support, didn’t bother trying). I’m glad Cruz is choosing those delegates, since at least they are not establishment.

Trump’s best odds are with those Cruz-loyal delegates who are bound to Trump on the first ballot but won’t pull any rules shenanigans to stick an establishment candidate in Trump’s place. If Trump won’t make the delegate choices to prevent establishment nonsense, we’re lucky that Cruz will.

For those who object to Cruz based on his birthplace, I’m okay with that. I disagree on the meaning on “natural born citizen”, but concluding that he is ineligible is a completely reasonable interpretation of the Constitution (it’s my preferred interpretation, but the precedent says otherwise, and I follow precedent when it’s also at least reasonable).

For those who disagree with Cruz on the issues, please point at where you disagree with him on a key issue based on the positions on his website or on a reference site like http://www.ontheissues.org/Ted_Cruz.htm or even the totality of his votes (not a single vote in isolation).

But criticizing Cruz for not seeing something behind his back? Really? Can’t the rest of the Trump voters (I voted for Trump five days ago) just enjoy our 1000-plus delegates and treat a fellow conservative (and temporary opponent) with respect?

See post #115 right after she fell. It looked like Cruz saw her. Cruz then went back to shaking hands.

Hey, it is just a video.

I was glad Carly was not hurt.

It's not like I called Cruz's supporters Nazis and Brownshirts.

That site leans so far to the left my monitor almost fell off the desk.

Compare and Contrast their coverage of Trump to Hillary. The veil blows away in the wind.

Sure doesn't look that way on this forum, does it?

I just hope that "United we stand, divided we fall" doesn't apply here, because I want Hillary to lose.
