I guess I need to rewind and see, because I saw it as a cover for Cruz. Rewinding.
“With no requirement for endorsement, he encouraged his former competitors to speak once again,” names them. “They all responded to Trump’s generosity.”
“I think you all misunderstood Ted Cruz, who is a superb orator said, and I just want to point it out to you. He said you can vote your conscience for anyone who will uphold the constitution. In this election, there is only one candidate who will uphold the constitution.”
NO SMACKDOWN OF CRUZ. He was trying to tell the people booing Cruz for lack of endorsement that Cruz really endorsed him, see???? See how he endorsed him???? The Great Orator?
Gingrich is 50% of the time on the right side of things.
No, it was a smackdown. He said that if you did indeed vote for the one who will uphold the constitution, it has to be TRUMP. It's not what Cruz meant, but Newt made it mean that. Newt was being clever.
I finally calmed down enought to post, and not get a time out after 16 years here.
I have never seen such a petulant, whiny, self indulgent, messiah complex performance in my life. It’s Elmer Gantry meshed with the Riddler from Batman. All that was missing was the creepy makeup.
I can’t believe, early on, I fell for Cruz’s bs. He’s as fake as the Clinton marriage.
He ended his political career tonight (come on Texas, vote his arse out! Even if you have to give the seat to a Dim). Fortunately, what we all saw was what everyone in the Senate had already experienced, so the lucrative K Street might NOT materialize.
After his political demise, I predict Miss Hidey will drop her “conservative” Bill Clintonesque husband quickly. She makes good coin w/Goldman Sachs (love that the crowd chanted that) and she had to leave. In disgrace.
And tomorrow, I’m going to do something I swore I wouldn’t do EVER again....going to tune into Beck. He, and his cronies, spin on the self
Immolation of Cruz should be classic.
Mr. Trump was gracious, tried for unity, and gave Cruz his time. Cruz has no one to blame but Cruz.
Newt is the quickest study in the world. In the WORLD. He exposed Cruz’s words and while acknowledge he is a good orator, he said, so if Cruz meant what he literally just said, he is saying vote for Trump. NEWT IS BRILLIANT. period. Newt has so much grace and ability to bring people together.
Is this your best thinking?
Sorry, but Newt coolly baited and switched Cruz with Cruz’ own words. A classic debate skill, and nobody is more capable of deploying it than Newt.
NO SMACKDOWN OF CRUZ. He was trying to tell the people booing Cruz for lack of endorsement that Cruz really endorsed him, see???? See how he endorsed him???? The Great Orator?
... and you never saw the blade.
