He did not mention Trump by name, but he implied that people should vote for Trump over Hillary. That is clear if you listened to his speech.
I hung on every word. He did not tell people to vote for Trump over Clinton. A convention is no place to tell people to read between the lines. Cruz is stunted emotionally.
Listen bud, I watched the whole thing. He can turn a phrase. He had them in his hand. All he had to do was be the bigger man.
In my part of the world, we say “he stepped on his d*ck.” He blew it.
He is as done as can be. He will be working for Goldman Sachs by six months past his Senate term.
I voted for the guy.
It isn't clear to Amanda Carpenter, who is delivering the opposite message. The message Amanda is delivering, and it is supported by Cruz's speech which is ambiguous, is that people should vote up and down ticket on principle (and she outright says that means rejecting Trump).
Your clear impression isn't shared by all, and IMO, not by many. I don't think your firm testimonial will persuade anybody at all.
