Geraldine Sam, former Mayor of La Marque, TX, told CNN she came to the convention as a Cruz delegate but is leaving as a Trump supporter after Sen. Ted Cruz's address at the RNC Wednesday night. Sam was interviewed by CNN following a contentious meeting between the Texas delegation and Cruz where the former candidate for president doubled down the rhetoric expressed in his speech.

Even Marco made a endorsement of sorts.
Poor Houston. Soon, billboards across town will have pictures of Cruz with the caption, “Better Call Ted!”
For so long, Cruz believes and has been told and convinced others he is so smart. If he had half a brain, he should have been able to see this would be the reaction. Other than blind ambition, how could he not realize that that moment, especially, was the worst time to pull that stunt and would cost him his base? It was stunning to see that level of stupidity so blatant.
It was also beautiful to see Trump let him do it so spectacularly.
I suggest he is a dangerous man based upon his actions.
I would not put anything past him.
When people beileve they are saviours, bad things can happen.
Seriously? He wouldn’t give to God because other financial commitments were more important? Wow...he really never has read the bible has he?
Pride goeth before a fall
No wonder God bitchslapped this cruz punk.
Way to go, God!
I understand that Cruz threw another “hissy fit” the next
day after he saw that his PLEDGE-BREAKING did not go over
well at all with those of us who value the TRUTH, excuses
aside. (Carson did use his head for something besides a
hat rack and kept his pledge; as any honorable person will
do.)
Fang & I voted for Cruz in the primary. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
If Texas re-elects him to the Senate, he will be lucky.
If not, he can always practice law or be a Democrat
politician.
Best line I heard after Cruz’s speech on Wednesday was by Fox’s Chris Wallace.
After Newt’s attempt to try and mitigate Cruz’s behavior, someone asked why people in Washington instantly hate Ted Cruz. Wallace’s answer...”it saves time.”
Great! Cruz is some serious political trouble and I hope he gets a primary opponent so we can show him exactly what we think of him.
Good for you!
Ted Cruz is a narcissist. He will never admit to doing anything wrong, will piss off everyone around him and then use the victim card to gain sympathy.
Narcissism is a mental disorder that often results from childhood trama.
I know, because I live with one, and narcissist s will most often admit, nor go to get help with their mental issues.
I agree; they must have promised him something if he didn’t endorse. Because there’s no way Trump is going to beat Hillary. SCOTUS, perhaps?

There are some people who are very “book smart”. They earn top grades in school & attend top colleges. But, on the other hand, when it comes to common sense & self-awareness, they are complete idiots.
I strongly suspect that Cruz falls into this category.
WHAT do you mean Trump isn’t going to beat Hillary? Who are you? The American people have spoken!!! and with the people that we don’t even know behind Trump and the campaign scene, Trump would never had made it this far if he wasn’t going to win....oh you disappoint me!!!
I love true crime and I am concerned that he shows many of the same sociopathic tendencies I see among criminals. I would agree he has potential to be dangerous.
When it’s shown that all of the Cruz supporters switched to Trump Cruz will say “I caused that by being a horse’s rear end at the convention. That was my plan all along.”
Didn’t DT renege on supporting the Republican nominee? DT didn’t raise his hand to pledge support at first (cheers, remember?), then said yes, then said no...
And...
“At a CNN town hall event on Tuesday night, Trump reversed on that promise, telling CNN moderator Anderson Cooper he no longer respects the so-called loyalty pledge a stage full of then-candidates agreed to during the very first GOP debate in Cleveland last August.”
So now he is going to hold someone to a pledge that they both reneged at the same time. Ted “back-peddled” at the time of the wife thing that DT started, yes?
“Trump, Cruz Back Down From Pledge to Support Republican Nominee”
I love research. LOL I’ll probably get banned for life.
And the worst thing is it could be against the children and hidden.
I can’t BELIEVE i’m saying this about the guy who i thought was OUR hero!!
####
Trump!!!!!!!!!
And thanks Jim for not kicking me off until i saw the ilght :)
