In this case, the dude not only lost the entire crowd, he lost over half his one time supporters, and committed political suicide with the speech he hoped would impale another.
It was self uglifiction to the max.
I have friends who voted for Cruz in our primary, who really disliked Trump, tell me how wrong they were, how selfish their one time favorite candidate was, and how much they were now behind Trump after the Cruz self disembowelment. They just kept saying "it was never about him, but he made it about him and his feelings. Considering how all that matters now is beating Hillary, how dare he do something that might hurt that chance." Good grief were she and her husband livid. Just one of the many stories that are showing up in the Cruz free fall in the polls.
I hoped he wouln't do that, but I predicted if he didn't change up and endorse he wouldn't be reelected dog catcher, I'm sticking to my prediction after listening to my friends. Cruz blew it more than he could have guessed.
Yep, that was a long suicide note.To be honest Cruz gives me the creeps.
I was a Cruz supporter for months, until I read a number of articles and various posters sent me private messages with links to his history.
If I hadn’t turned away from him then, I can’t imagine that I would have been with him after his speech at the RNC. How anyone could still be a supporter is beyond me.
