Good to hear,Sam.
I had a 150 mile round trip/day commute for years by car(Toms River to Newark NJ)
What a grind.
Stay safe—hope to get to see Trump one of these days at Trump Tower.
My last reply I meant to say:
I hope that YOU get to see Trump at Trump Tower someday.
Uncle Henry, WNTM Mobile AL, seemed to be a Cruz supporter, but is being fair in criticizing the Cruz fiasco.

Great! I’m starving!
Booked marked so I can follow. Hubby won’t watch it, will just vote.
Post protesters photos please.
Morning, all!
Thanks for the thread, that delicious breakfast (lysie) being served in that beautiful Executive dining cabin.
Great observations being made by ALL!!
Cruz speech ended around 10pm. By 2am, received Cruz fundraising appeal. 'This fight has never been about a particular candidate.'

Don’t understand. Cruz is now asking for money?

I'll offer some of my take on all this. I have and am a Trump supporter from way before the first primary. So that is where I am coming from.
After watching it all, I am jaw dropped over how solid Mike Pence is. He connected 100% with me. Knowing and seeing how calculating Trump has been to now, I think he had Cruz speak on Pence's night to make sure that Pence (or whoever his VP selection would be) did not overshadow Trump by dampening the media narrative with some dark drama. I think that answers the "why did Trump let Cruz speak" question.
After hearing and becoming acquainted with Mike Pence, I can see how Pence could have stole the heart of the convention. I actually believe he set himself up well for the future.
For Cruz, yes he is obviously targeting 2020, and he wanted to help that along by denting Trump apparently in tilting the Election to Hillary. All he accomplished really was cementing further the negative aspects of his persona in the minds of... a huge republican audience. Terrible.
Can we have the rest of the convention with out all the hatred of Cruz marring it and further dividing Republicans? You loose more voters by keeping it alive. Let it die, it’s over and done with. Keeping it alive could cost votes and put the hildabeast in the WH.
I am soooo proud of my children, Don, Eric and Tiffany - their speeches, under enormous pressure, were incredible. Ivanka intros me tonight!
Look forward to hearing Fran Tarkenton talk. I lived in Green Bay when Vince Lombardi was head coach. Tarkenton, as quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings, drove Lombardi nuts. Fond memories.
He’s going to spend his time in the Senate fighting Trump on everything.
Cruz talking to Texas delegation now. On FOX
Cruz could have been a hero last night.
Instead he was a zero.
Cruz deserves to be kicked out of the Party and never heard from again.
Cruz did more damage to the GOP and this election than anyone here criticizing him could ever do.
He completely embarrassed the GOP and Trump and all of us.
There was NO excuse for what he did last night, on any level.
A petty, vindictive self absorbed sellout.
And a complete fraud.
Cruz now being smarmy and saying how great his speech was http://vaughnlive.tv/newzviewz
As if he couldn’t appear any slimier. ^^
