Thank God Trump, not Cruz is running.
Trump will stop illegals, Muslims/Islam , the media and China which are the biggest threats.
In my opinion, the GOP came up with that contract idea to keep Trump from forming a third-party run. They (and I) did not expect Trump to win, but he did. Now these people have shown that they cannot be trusted.
Trump was not even in my top three at the beginning, but I am full supporting him now.
Cruz, the Bushes and Kasich (just to name a few) make me want to puke.
Laura Ingram (sp?) laid it all out in comments and told everyone to grow up and get behind Trump.
Wow. I’m a pretty solid Cruz critic, but even I expected him to have enough sense to stuff his ego for a night, and try to help bring the party together.
*************
My thoughts as well. I couldn’t imagine that he would self destruct like that. He could have taken the high road and preserved his political viability. Instead he drove off into the ditch.
Time to change your screen name. Get with JimRob about it.

When they realized Cruz wasn’t going to endorse Trump, the crowd rightfully booed Cruz at the end of his high-flying, nonsensical rhetoric that was supposed to sound presidential.
Trump essentially gave Cruz the hook when he walked onto the convention floor and drew the cameras away from Cruz,thereby bringing Cruz’s speech to an end with the boos ringing from the crowd.
Cruz is FAR stupider and more egotistical than I had imagined to stand up in front of the party faithful and make a speech that was about nothing buy disloyalty and which was guaranteed to draw the boos that it did.
You should watch it then.
He didn't set himself up, he deleted himself. To be the loyal opposition, one has to have ideas. Ted just has resentment and the ball he's picked up and is taking home. The kids will not play with him again, and nor should they. Ted is for Ted. In Political Solitaire, you're always the one who gets to president, and should be president in the real game, if the other kids weren't so stupid.

Cruz is one of the biggest pieces of shits that I have ever seen. Good bye!
Up to this point, many like me knew something was wrong with Cruz, but couldn’t put our finger on it. Now, we can.
**************
He has a messianic personality. I was never comfortable with that.
He’s a likable enough personality superficially.
A less-than-credible political presentation so far.
I wish Sen. Cruz was one of my US Senators than the ones I have right now, Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken.
Like hell he's dead to you - you just declared Hillary the next President.
Go back to DU, scum. You really are not anywhere near how smart you think you are.
I was a Cruz guy from the beginning, but when he blamed Trump for the Marxist protesters in Chicago, I began to see I was wrong about him, tonight confirms it. I never was a big Trump fan, but he is the ONLY choice if you care about your country more than yourself, Hillary will be the end of America if she is president.
Those aren’t principles....those are delusions of grandeur.
******************
Exactly right. He has a messianic personality. That’s why none of his colleagues are willing to work with him.
Obviously the intelligence of the American people is still in tact! They have made the right choice! God Bless Donald Trump and God Bless America! Cruz mad that perfectly clear tonight!
Is your cat named Huma?
/sorry
LOL
too early to make a name for 2020. Pence____??? no idea for VP,,,way too early.
If that was supposed to be joke, it was ill timed.
I know TX Republicans.
This ain’t gonna sit well.
On top of having a POTUS we trust, we also want one we can like. Cruz just doesn't bring that to the game. Sadly, he seems to have none that coaches him when it comes to delivery of his message.
I know this makes me sound like I want an entertainer, but I am just honestly evaluating his electability.
When this election cycle began, I was for Scott Walker first, and Ted second. It didn't take long for Ted to drop several places on my list. I am so disappointed with him.
Sad to say but it is pretty hard to conclude anything else. Disappointing. I don't see this as causing any long term damage to Trump. Cruz, on the other hand, may have done irreparable damage to his political career.
