>Cruz told people NOT to stay home in November, and to vote for candidates that would uphold the constitution. The Trump team could have taken that in a positive way, as close to an endorsement as Cruz culs come. it would have been a net positive for everyone, and a unifying gesture. Instead, they laid a trap for Cruz, with the intent of embarassing him and damaging him politically.
He was warned by Manafort they’d boo him but he didn’t believe it. Trump handled him a laso and Cruz chose to hang himself with it instead of hitching himself to Trump.
All Cruz’s worst wounds are self inflicted and this is the final one of his short career. He could have been VP then President in 8 years. Instead he threw it all away out pride and ambition.
Maybe that's where the Lucifer nickname originated.
He was warned by Manafort they’d boo him but he didn’t believe it.Right, that's why the Trump insiders had to walk and encourage people to boo. And why there weren't any boos when he made the statement you folks are so up-in-arms about, but only later after the whips had a chance to stir things up.
