Cruz’s sarcastic remark toward the New York delegation was inappropriate...but it is unfortunate the crowd continued to react the way that it did, because this creates an opening for the press to talk about that as though that is the only thing that happened all night.
I can proudly say that my vote and the votes of other like-minded Republicans in New York was the beginning of the end for Cruz. What a petty sore loser. I am glad he got booed off of the state like he was on Showtime at the Apollo.
I hear you, but I think it’s time we stop worrying about the media. Besides, Trump will just throw a shiny object in the opposite direction and they’ll go running after it.
Cruz mentioned the NY delegation enthusiasm to ensure the people watching did not think it was the whole room.

Overall he was giving a great speech. He simply chose to end it badly.
Cruz should have taken the YUGE hint that crowd was giving him and said the right thing for this moment in time for the sake of unity. The crowd was truly revved up enthusiastically anticipating it toward the end before the “endorse Trump” chants started. He had the momentum in that speech and he basically dropped the mic on that moment. I went back to watch this again, and I see the moment he strayed, and he had the momentum right there at that moment. He should have taken the hint from ‘the New York delegation’, and the rest of America in that hall who were trying to get him to the right place, but he mocked them instead. What a putz. That speech could have ended with a jubilant roar of approval and instead he settled for being bood off the stage. For the smartest guy ever, this guy just can’t take a *#&! hint.
