CRUZLIMS: Your vote is your responsibility, and yours alone. Trying to make it someone else's -- for whatever reason -- just ends up making you look like a mug.
Here endeth the lesson.

Over the weekend, The Daily Wire had the opportunity to speak with Kendal Unruh, a member of the Colorado Republican delegation to the Republican National Convention. Unruh is also a member of the Rules Committee at the RNC, and a leading advocate for a vote that would unbind the delegates from the candidates to which their state primaries are pledged.
Unruh explained that "28 committee members are required to pass a minority report, which then goes to the convention floor for all delegates to vote on. It then requires a simple majority to pass." She added that she does "have the 28 votes required for the minority report," continuing, "Not everyone who is with us is willing to be public yet, due in part to the threats being made by Trump's campaign and the RNC itself."

That is a good post. It’s a buddy-buddy system when the GOP has a majority. If the Dems get a majority, the GOP will discover what it’s like to be on the outside looking in. The Dems won’t even be generous with the crumbs they toss across the aisle. Instead of LaRaza it will be ElPardido:
‘For those inside the (Dem) party, everything. For those outside the (Dem) party, nothing.’
ElPardido = ElPartido
I’m voting for the Republican nominee, don’t get me wrong.
But I am also realistic. It’s going to be a disaster.
What has Trump done?
It’s not Cruz’s job to unify the party. It’s Trump’s.
What do people expect him to do?
So let me get this straight. Trump won the nomination, won the delegates, and yet is concerned that his delegates won’t vote for him on the convention floor? Why? If he’s such a juggernaut, such a sure-winner, why wouldn’t his delegates vote for him?
In my opinion, if there’s a floor-fight at the convention, it is the people who foisted Trump on the GOP who will be responsible for it. He’s a terrible general election candidate and his lack of momentum to this point has a lot of people worried that his defeat in November could be catastrophically bad. There is still time to undo this awful mistake.

What a joke!
It is the GOPe who backing the losing candidates who bear the responsibility to come around to backing the primary victors.
And that goes for Cruz, too.
He will at least have flushed out the un-American neocon trash
Having seen Cruz in action, our expectations of him are quite low. We believe that, in the interests of saving the country from Hillary, he should have followed through on his promise (to endorse the GOP nominee) sooner than later. The longer he delays, the more divisive his most desperate supporters become—and the greater the benefits that accrue to Hillary.
Nonsense. He won. The people have spoken.
What has Trump done?
It’s not Cruz’s job to unify the party. It’s Trump’s.

Donald Trump did not have a day of campaign withdrawal tantrum to green light party disunity among his supporters. Ted Cruz did. Cruzers need to own that. Every pathetic day of never Trump tantrums since the Indiana primary.
Cruz surrogates are currently defacto campaigning for HIllary Clinton while invoking Cruz’s name. And he is completely silent. Once again. It’s not Trump’s job to police Cruz’s delegates. That Cruz does not speaks volumes. Given his post primary tantrum I can only conclude is neither principled or conservative.

I notice this Cruz delegate is invoking Cruz’s name on Twitter and other places while she campaigns for party disunity. And Cruz is silent. This really reminds me of the Melania Trump smear by the Super PAC in support of Cruz. Despite his name being plastered all over the ad Cruz did not disavow that until days later when he felt it political advantageous.
I’m noticing a pattern to a real ugly side of Ted Cruz here. He’s using surrogates like the Super PAC and this delegate to smear Trump while giving himself plausible deniability. Given the stakes here I find it disgusting. These bells can’t be unrung. I’ll never be supporting Ted Cruz again. Ever.
Up-vote every single word you posted. Trump actually approached Cruz very graciously and offered him a speaking slot at the convention. And oh sure, the Cubanadian narcissist wants to speak to a crowd; heaven knows he couldn’t draw one during the primaries. [Didn’t he speak to a ‘crowd’ of 34, at one point? And in the end he was reduced to ambushing people at diners—people who probably just wanted to eat in peace.]
Still Cruz won’t speak a word to dissuade these demented, Hillary-cheering neverTrumps. Cruz has mental-emotional issues—and that’s just for starters.
He produced a lachrymose, bathos oozing video of poor, sad, Mr. Campaign bus driving away in the mists, while select Cruzlim Blubberhood acolytes blubbered, which they do well. It even features a sad, tinkling little string instument, which is at least a variation of the sad tinkling piano when a shakedown pitch is in order. Otherwise I think he buggered off to a kid free vacation, the stage props having served their purpose until needed again, and letting the senate votes take care of themselves.
You're believing with delusionals who really, truly, genuinely believe this:
They were never even remotely interested in nominating a candidate for the presidency, per se.
It's all been about minting themselves a brand new messiah.
On a side note, am I mistaken, or did you take a hiatus? I was missing your posts so much there for a while. You have a wildly entertaining, wonderfully distinctive writing style. I can usually tell it’s one of your posts by the first or second sentence, without ever having seen your tag.
That is the down and dirty, brutal truth of it all.
These people are superstitious, fanatical kooks, who smear and abuse the names Christian and evangelical with their very worldly agendas and false prophecies.
That right there is some scary stuff. It also eloquently explains why they can’t let go. If he’s “anointed,” then surely there will be a last minute ‘miracle,’ and Cruz will be the nominee after all.
Cultish behavior indeed.
I did indeed take a hiatus. I took a much better paying job which requires long hours and long distances. I am grateful to God to have it, as it came when desperately needed, but there is not a lot of free time. I am between gigs right now. I missed it here, except for the paid mourners I see are still with us, like an ideological herpes.
‘I missed it here, except for the paid mourners I see are still with us, like an ideological herpes.’
BOL!
Congratulations on the new job! Prayers that it—and you—are blessed in every way.
