Perhaps he was just a bitter bitch that couldn’t let go... something he can mature from.

Did you ever misread the mood of the country?
Did you ever think the country was as interested
in you as you thought they were? Did you ever
come to the realization that, but to a tiny few,
you weren't more than a hill of beans?

Maybe Ted’s time is better spent trying to get an interview with Goldman Sachs. Heidi can help in this regard.

What a delusional fool, he had an opportunity to matter big and help the country at such a crucial time, but he put ego ahead of country:

“He thought he was reliving one of Ronald Reagan’s great moments, and that it would establish him as the conservative standard-bearer going forward, but the hall didn’t buy it, nor did the country,”

The best thing Cruz can do is immediately put distance between himself and Romney/Ryan/McConnell/McCain/McGramnesty & the GOPe nevertrumpers. And then climb down off his cross and help us save the country from Hillary.

Go, Cruz, GO!! Go, Trump, GO!!

Mr. Cruz tried to visit the suite of mega-GOP donor Sheldon Adelson but was denied entry...

WOW!!! Atta boy Sheldon :)

As a once true supporter of Ted Cruz, I now think he is incredibly creepy. And all because of his own stupid, puerile actions. He is probably a Hillary/Soros/Sachs operative, anyhow. He would have been a “False Choice” (the Hegelian Dialectic) as McCain and Bush were...so sad—a plant coming right out of the heartland of Texas again.

Shame, shame on you, Mr. Cruz!!! The diabolical choices you are making will take you to hell. It is time you take back your soul and fight for true freedom and liberty and your daughters’ future (where our Natural Rights come ONLY from God)-—pre-1913, and put the bankster cartel in prison for treason and confiscating BILLIONS and getting millions killed in their wars, etc., and return their fraudulent billions to the proper governments.

Cruz was my first choice before Trump got into the race. I then saw Cruz as an excellent VP, getting groomed for the Presidency in 2024.

Now?

I wouldn’t pee on Cruz if he were on fire.

First time I heard Cruz speak, I immediately knew there was no he was ever going to make President. Squeak, squeak, for 4 to 8? No way in Hell.

If his guide had been to do what’s right for the country, he never would have miscalculated. Being that he’s never been anything other than an ambitious poser, it’s clear why he did what he did. It was foolish of him, but his intention was clear. His ego wouldn’t allow him to recognize that he had already lost this battle and would have been better served by going back to the phony conservative/patriot routine and pretend to support Trump over the traitor, Hillary. But Cruz’s hubris got the better of him.

Karma plays rough and tumble. Never again, Ted, never again. I was for ya' before I was against ya'. You blew it, with your lies (NBC) and your treatment of the best man we have who is willing to FIGHT for our country. OUR COUNTRY, not yours, not Canada.

Still awaiting your convoluted reply as to how you, yourself, determine YOUR NBC. Tick Tick Tick. We've an overabundance of these parasites in Texas, so please feel free to move back home. Too many are already feeding off of US

Oh, and, Ted, remember

Cruz did much more damage to his personal image than his “political brand”.

It’s a lot harder to fix the perception that your are a liar, a phony, and a backstabber.

“He thought he was reliving one of Ronald Reagan’s great moments, and that it would establish him as the conservative standard-bearer going forward, but the hall didn’t buy it, nor did the country,”

That's because his speech had NOTHING to do with being the "conservative standard bearer".

He should have listened to Reagan's 1976 RNC speech a few more times (and even his 1980 nomination speech). Reagan could not have been more gracious to Ford, and took the moment to attack Democrats and unify and bolster the party. He didn't separate himself from the party or the candidate they chose in 1976. He tried to rally the party to his way of thinking, all while throwing his support behind the party to define conservatism.

Cruz took the opportunity to leave the party divided, and make the moment about him. He might as well have said "Look, all you people made a mistake, but that's okay. In four years, you'll be able to correct that with me again, so long as you don't elect Donald Trump in this election."

Just watching all those highly staged video ads he made, trying so hard to look and sound warm and sincere - a couple of them with his kids and wife (one reading a book at Christmas), another where he’s sitting next to his mother on the couch and talking about her as if he was eulogizing a dead person were excruciating to the viewer and the mother and embarrassing to watch. It was clear that something was very fake and a bit creepy about this guy.
