What a guy.
Yeah, the doubling down was the final nail in the coffin of Ted’s career. Further, as a Christian you are supposed to forgive those that trespass against you as you beg forgiveness for your trespasses against others. further still, in the heat of a political battle, many things are said, intimated, and outright accused. These things are normally put aside when the battle is finished. To the victor goes the spoils. Holding grudges and hurt feeling are not only very immature, but extremely shortsighted.
My wife and I were strong Cruz supporters, hoping that even with the nomination going to Trump, Cruz would still be in the mix. We (Republicans) have a great bench and would like to see all of our great talent put to work. But then his speech and subsequent double angry doubling down did us in. We now question his sincerity and political competence. We are all if for Trump.
LYIN’ TED!!!
Well stated!
The Trump kids were born in the USA!!!!! They were NOT born in a foreign country!!!
“I almost feel sorry for him watching what a fool he has made out himself, destroying a once promising career.”
I know how you feel as I was fully supported him but what respect I had left for him died with these antics at the convention. Read this article by Richard Viguerie of Conservative HQ who was a convention delegate. This sums up perfectly why many people have canned Cruz. He could have reversed himself and done something great for our ticket but he let his pride get the better of him.

Especially since he’s planning to start running for president again as soon as the 2018 elections are over.
He’s already spent most of his first term not doing his Senate job
I haven’t heard of any motion in the other direction ... Hahahahahaha.
Mother was still a foreign citizen. They are US citizens, but not natural born citizens.
Same as Obama, born here of one citizen parent, one foreign parent.
Yes her name was Mary MacLeod from the isle of Lewis in Scotland. It was a very poor island and many of its youth came to America to work as domestic help. A real Prince Charming story of her meeting and marrying Frederick Trump.
She took her daughters to SCOTLAND to vacation in the summers and enjoyed eating at the restaurant at Ternberry. His dedication of the renovations and preservations which included granddaughter Kia really touched me.
One story Don J posted said Kia was to attend work with her father as a school project. She chose to go with “Pops” instead
You hit the nail right on the head. I too was a strong Cruz supporter and after the Indiana primary you knew it was over for him but I hoped he would do something positive and could have ended up at AG. I starting focusing my efforts on unifying the party. But as he persisted with fanning the flames of this #NeverTrump movement it became very troubling I started praying hard about this situation in early June. While praying one day at that time seeking God about what was the problem with this movement because I dd not feel right about it. I had the following Bible verse come into my Spirit. I was Proverbs 30:12 which is:
12 There are those who are pure in their own eyes
yet are not cleansed of their filthiness.
I think it says it all. What happened to him and this movement looks to be a strong rebuke from the Lord.
Too late Ted. You had the perfect opportunity to honor your pledge
before a national audience. And you hung yourself.
I predict your Texas poll numbers will continue to drop,
which will encourage primary challengers to jump in.
Age, experience and a heapin' helping of compunction might help to make his potential be realized, but he's not yet ready to listen to that right now.
If he's the believer he says he is and seeks the highest truth, the gift of compunction will eventually be given to him and, perhaps, then wisdom will follow.
In the meantime, what a gift to all that we see the young Mr. Cruz more clearly now instead of much later!
It seems we've dodged a bullet, or perhaps a golden BB, on our way to a new President.
Thank You, Jesus!
“It seems we’ve dodged a bullet.”
My dad said exactly that to me yesterday when we were discussing Cruz.
“It seems we’ve dodged a bullet.”
My dad said exactly that to me yesterday when we were discussing Cruz.
She’s just a mite agitated.
MR. Mrs Goldman-Saks needs to shut up, go away........
Many thanks, everybody! (Pinging to whenifhow & lucyt)
From the transcript ( spaces added for emphasis):
“...Sam said of Cruz. “You lied to me. You lied and said you were going to support the party nominee and you won’t. Then you lied to me. And I’m very upset at this time.
When you walked on, I turned my back.
Why? Because you lied to me. And don’t take my vote for granted because you lied to me.” “
I heard also that the new York delegates turned their backs on crooze.
I wonder how many others did the same as delegate Sam and the New York delegates?
Welcome aboard the Trump Train!! MAGA
Then explain to me why Cruz was on that plane with Barky and Hillary....it wasn’t just because he was the Senator from Texas...there are other things here in the mix...he is being promised something...none of them do something for the ‘good’ of things, only the ‘worst’ of things...
