Anyone else pick up on the Shakespearean connotation last night? Interested in comments and observations on the Cruz concession speech.

“Boundless optimism” was stolen from Reagan.
What kind of pompous ass prefaces a statement with, “Hear me now”? Oh. Right.
Typical Cruz. Smarmy.

Cruz handled the situation with dignity and grace and it was necessary for him to put this aside and look to the future for himself, as well as for his party and the country. Nobody expected him to endorse Trump last night but the next few weeks after he's had time to lick his wounds and decompress a bit will reveal the true measure of the man and let us know whether he has a real political future.
My guess is he'll surprise us. He's still a young man and Trump himself observed he has a great future ahead of him.

Cruz sounded like a circuit preacher at a revival meeting. I now understand what Trump meant by his comment that Cruz doesn’t know how to talk like a normal person.
To: Captain Peter Blood
I didn’t watch it. At any point did he start talking to a skull?

If Cruz explained the issues as expressed in that speech during his primary races including Indiana he might have won. Instead Cruz allowed the visual media saturation to define and dominate the campaign.
Had he run it like the Reagan campaign which I participated in .That campaign developed truth squads that sought local imput on regional and local problems and used print venues as backup to explain conservative solutions which were also worked into stump speeches. Giving it that local touch which worked in Iowa with the ethanol issue. But Cruz abandonded that tactic.Instead his campaign let local supporters languish and left to creating their own devices . .

No. Sounded fake and preachy. Wasn’t sincere in his delivery. You could tell he was bitter.

More Bulwer Lytton I think.
