Why did Trump "let" Cruz Speak, if he knew he would not endorse? Cruz had majorities in enough delegations to have had his name placed in nomination and to have forced a roll call vote (and to have avoided the RNC nullifying his DC and Utah votes by declaring them votes for Trump "because the candidate had not been nominated"). I'm convinced that there was the deal.. not have himself nominated and get to speak to the convention.
Erik Erikson has tweeted that the Trumpers orchestrated the booing in advance. Others have written that Trump is more interested in "getting even" with primary opponents than in winning in November.
We have to beat Hillary, but I have concerns that with Trump we'll have someone as mean spirited an vindictive as she is. How will he govern? Prayer is the only answer at this point.
Stop paying attention to ‘red’ Eric, he is as mean spirited as one gets.
Since someone else used that line previously in the past, couldn't that be construed as pagiersm (sp)?
Ted Cruz the AV Geek was invited to the big Football party with the team and the cheerleaders and instead of acting cool and making nice he got drunk, pooped in his pants, pissed on the rug, threw up on the head cheerleader and groped the family dog.
Ted Cruz.: The new Tim Misney. Doing wills and chasing ambulances for a career.
He gave Cruz the rope and Cruz used it.
“...played Cruz like a fiddle....”
Yes, Trump plays 3D chess with the self-obsessed Cruz
and the one-track-mind media.
Erik Erikson is a “never Trumper” who never gives up.
He is a disgrace to journalism.
And a jackass.
Cruz is such an idiot that he thought what he was doing was using it as a lifeline.
That's my take, anyway. By doing it this way, Mr. Trump did the 'pubs a very big favor. They didn't like him, and now they don't have to worry as much about him getting in their way. Cruz's treachery means he'll never be believed again.
Even when Ted Cruz was talking about Michael Smith(The police officer murdered in Dallas) and his 9 year old daughter Caroline, Ted Cruz once again had to make it about HIM..how his daughter has the same name..geez, with Ted Cruz its always about HIM..I figured out what kind of man Ted Cruz is when he blamed TRUMP for Commie bastards protesting in Chicago and beating up Trump supporters, he didnt stand with police, he stood with the COMMIE PROTESTORS
Cruz was pulling a crazy Bernie, 30-minute Castro harangue to the masses. Straight outta Havana.
Well, Hillary is already using Ted's words from last night in a campaign plus for her.
Ted's an idiot if he didn't see that coming.
A former NeverTrumper is done with Ted Cruz and that is Michael Reagan, he never liked Trump but he said what Cruz did last night was NOT classy..I was surprised to see that since I have seen for months that Michael Reagan was no fan of Trump
Great gif!
Erikson’s a complete bozo. I wouldn’t give him the time of day. Trump let Cruz speak. What Cruz said, and the consequences, are all Cruz.
Erickson is a fat faced fraud!
Vote Your Conscience, yeah I can see that working for Hillary Clinton LOL..even IF she thinks that will help her it wont..but Cruz has his own aspirations, he thinks he has a chance in 2020, my 16 month old nephew has a better chance at becoming President than Ted Cruz
Get a grip. Trump just gave Cruz the stage. It was Cruz’s choice to do with it as he wished. There was no set-up here. I guess if you’re a narcissist and egomaniac like Cruz though, you’re always the victim & martyr.
My guess is that whacko Cruz wants to start a third party and fancies himself as the head of that movement. For a minute last night, I thought his “vote your conscience” line was a dog whistle to Cruzbots to launch a write-in campaign. In any case, such a move is woefully unpatriotic as doing such could hand the election to Hitlery. But Cruz doesn’t appear to care. It’s just all about him all the time. Bastard.
