I don’t know but the day he got back from his time off for funeral of one, the other died. He was on the out # program.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

That’s what happened.

[Tuxedo]

Cruz is being such a douche. Yank his speaking spot

[RegulatorCountry]

I’ve suspected belief in this has been behind tepid support for Trump, attempts to insert Romney and now these efforts to disrupt the convention in the hope of somehow elevating Cruz. How Cruz figures into this Mormon thing is a bit of a puzzler, unless he’s intended to be VP to Romney.

[sockmonkey]

Why do the keep showing cucinelli down on the floor. He looks like he has poop in his mouth..probably does.

[Kenny]

Ken Cuccinelli getting way more than his 15 minutes of fame today.

[Kevin in California]

Fix it to “I’m an ass!”

[who knows what evil?]

Guess Cruz can kiss that Supreme Court seat goodbye...

[thouworm]

“Beck, Lee, Romney, and their little friend Cruz...right now, I am disgusted by all of them”

“We will not forget.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just said the same thing in a reply to Jim Robinson:

JR said:

“The Romney/Ryan/Bush/Cruz GOPe sore loser society is trying desperately to throw this election to Hillary.”
~~~~~~~~~~~

I replied:

As usual, you hit the nail on the head.

Hillary2016, and 4 years for the GOPe to consolidate for 2020.

What self-aggrandizing myopic fools! Demographics alone will damn their plan.

And Cruz positions himself among the globalist uniparty? Former Cruz supporters will never forget.

Is Cruz going to be kicked off the speakers list?

[Hulka]

But a nice looking 65.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Cruz is being such a douche. Yank his speaking spot NOW!

[MagUSNRET]

It was particularly entertaining to see his little temper tantrum when he threw his credentials on the ground. What a spoiled little brat!

[who knows what evil?]

Are we talking Judge Pirro?

[TTFlyer]

The idea that the Mormons and the GOPe were working to together to overturn the will of the voters is unsettling to say the least.

I hope we have seen the last of the Romneys, the Bushes, Kasich, and Cruz. I despise them all.

[darkangel82]

Rinos took the governorship of VA from him but that’s no reason to be acting like this.

[mabelkitty]

Yes!
It’s going to happen whether the establishment likes it or not.

[novemberslady]

So you become a delegate to represent the voters in your state
but think your opinion is more important,

and you become a politician so you get a bigger soapbox
to scream and whine from

and you lose a primary election
so you refuse to honor your pledge to support the other candidate,

And you lose a Presidential election
and nobody wants your sorry ass,
but you never go away....

Very special people.

[Jim W N]

Even when he was a hero, it looks like Arnold’s personal ambition and recognition was more important than the cause of freedom.

People may argue about Cruz’s status as a hero, standing up for the Constitution and freedom against the Left in Congress, whatever. But I see a guy whose personal ambition and future seems more important than the causes he supposedly stands for (eliciting the obvious response that “his only cause is Cruz”).

[JudyinCanada]

So what is the resolution they are talking about? I am so lost.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Can't put it up enough: (grammar aside)
