Cruz still thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and could not admit to the huge mistake of not endorsing Trump the man but blame us for not being smart enough to read between the lines...

*************

Pretty accurate characterization.

Cruz is similar to Obama in that they both believe they are the smartest people in the room and both have messianic personalities.

Bookmark pinging myself.

Cruz has managed to outdo his speech last night.

Doing the campaign schtick right now. I believe he is trying to throw Texas to the (D)ummies.

This is unprecedented territory.

UnprecedenTED

Addressing the Texas delegation.

Covered on Fox News right now. Manafort was just taking questions in response.

The Cubanadian is truly insane as his PooperScooper and RedState sycophants.

He is trying to upstage Mike Pence. And he is now trying to sabotage the election and elect Hillary.

This SOB is toast. I would vote for Romney before him and I hate Romney.

Guy on Fox calling him a self-absorbed narcissist.

Cruz has succeeded in uniting the party ... against him!

No he didn’t, go back and watch Reagan’s speech at the convention, it offered no endorsement of Ford at all.

There is the video:

Here is the Transcript:

Reagan NEVER endorsed Ford at the 76 Convention. His speech was far better than what Cruz offered, but there was no endorsement of Ford anywhere in it.

Anyone telling you otherwise is LYING.

I was proud of them, too. The delegates picked Cruz ahead of the primary but the GOP awarded the delegates to Trump since Cruz was no longer running.

I have seen a lot of wailing from the delegates, though. They are probably the same ones that maybe 20 years ago derailed Foreman’s run for governor and we have had libs ever since.

Can’t recall seeing a guy self-destruct from that level before. We actually considered him for the office of the vice-president, if not president of the United States.

Now I wouldn’t vote him onto the local PTA Board.

My best friend called me yesterday and asked if I was going to watch Cruz’s speech. I said “yeh I want to watch him get booed off the stage”. He delivered. :-)

Thank you.

During the nomination process I finally became so disgusted with Ted, I started referring to him as Tead Cruz.

Couldn’t have been more spot on, thanks to his own doing.

Good point.
Trump is smart enough to give someone all the rope they need

And to remember that Napoleon said (supposedly) “Never interfere when your enemy is destroying himself”

Cruz's speech was NOT the one sent to Trump.
It was the one composed BEHIND ENEMY LINES
1 week before the GOP convention.

“This is how we bring down Trump and help the UN and the EU.”
