Earlier today, Ed cracked into the curious story of how Ted Cruz is going to wind up addressing the Republican National Convention tonight, supposedly without endorsing the party’s nominee. ... Jim Geraghty jumped into the same debate in today’s edition of the Morning Jolt, ...
"Are we absolutely certain Trump’s judicial picks will be good ones? Can he really secure the border, or will Trump water down his wall promises? Notice Rick Perry, who also spoke at the convention but who did not endorse or mention Trump from the stage, recently said it’s going to be a “digital wall.”
Are we absolutely certain Trump’s judicial picks will be good ones?
No, Jim. We’re not. But I know with an absolutely certainty what sort of picks Hillary Clinton will make. And this isn’t your first rodeo. You know it just as well without being told.
Can he really secure the border?
Beats me, Jim. .. even if it’s a scaled back wall, a “virtual” wall, .., he’s at least going to try. On the other hand, ...Hillary Clinton and all of the Americans in Waiting in Mexico and elsewhere?
For that matter, you can ask any number of other questions along those lines to keep casting doubt on the party’s nominee. Will he be good enough on guns? We can’t be sure, but the man has a concealed carry permit while Hillary is a proud fan of the Australian system of gun confiscation. Pick your poison, Jim. Will Trump raise taxes? Hillary has promised to.

Uh, he is a Republican and was a candidate?
It’s the Republican convention and not the Trump convention.
Cruz, the PERFECT exemplar of Trump’s allusion to “The Snake.”
That’s pretty funny!
From what I’m reading at other sources, it seems “the conservatives’ are on Cruz now to back Trump. We shall see. If he does, he probably loses Levin. Pity, that.
“I wish people would start trying to respect Cruz and his supporters and invite us to join the fight against Hillary with support for Trump.”
You need my invitation to join the fight against Hillary? You need me to respect Cruz before you will do so? You don’t seriously mean that.
To give him a rope to hang himself or to deliver on his pledge
to support the nominee.
Either way Trump wins.
I hope he uses the rope to hang himself.
Either way, Trump wins.
LOL!!! Not hardly. I'm on board 100% with Trump. I would simply like to see everyone unite behind Trump. Every time the name Cruz shows up on FR, he and his supporters (mostly former) are insulted and demeaned.
Sore loser or not, CRUZ is a conservative and we NEED him in this country. There is a good reason he is hated by the GOP establishment. AND, Trump NEEDS his supporters too.
Come here and change my diaper. I've Clinton'd myself over your name-calling. LOL!
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if Cruz goes off script and does and anti-Trump rant instead of reading the prepared speech.
Ted could have been the VP nominee...but he royally screwed that over into oblivion
Cruz has a SC nomination on the line. what is the over/under on whether he will blow it tonight?
Respect is earned, not given. So far, Ted and his sycophants haven’t done much earning.
Illegals lover Cruz is NO Conservative. He is a globalist shill. He and his NWO/Goldman Sachs/NAU agenda pushing freaky ‘wife’ can shove it. I can’t believe how even one FReeper can still be fooled by this fraud. LoFo’s indeed.
Put some lotion on your Butt Hurt.
Cruz and his supporters need to get with the program and support the nominee that the people chose this year.
Krispy did an amazing job of redeeming his 0bola hug, with his excellent prosecution of Hellary, last night.
Let’s see what Lyin Ted can do to overcome his snake oil smarminess reputation.
Cruz has done nothing to help the nominee beat Hillary. In fact he has done the opposite. Yet Trump still gives him a prime time speech.
And you worry about butthurt feelings because FReepers can’t stand the asshole?
Trump Train is gonna roll over Hillary with or without Ted Cruz. Any Cruz fans who are still holding out are idiots or have an agenda. They already pitched fits at the convention and never cease their bitching and moaning. And there isn’t as many as you think.
Cruz can honor his word and endorse or not. And if anyone is more loyal to him than country than can F themselves too.
If he backs Trump, he can have a future.
If not, faageddabaat it.
I really want some togetherness in our effort to slay the beast. I want conviction and purpose and we can work out the spoils and all the rest for later. It has to be taken down for good. For the children.
