CLEVELAND, Ohio — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) gave a stirring address to the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, but failed to endorse Donald Trump, telling Americans to “vote your conscience.”

Can’t even give him the stirring part. About five minutes into the speech he already was crapping the bed and it was apparent he was digging his own shallow grave.
I think it’s terminal....
Senators are not Presidential timber.
I was vilified on FR earlier in the season for pointing this out.
NOW y'all see what I meant.
If you haven’t heard this it was reported on Fox that Cruz said he is the leader of the conservative movement, and he couldn’t violate his beliefs by supporting Trump.
Roughly speaking, Ted considers himself our Pope.
But he’s really our poop.
Once and for all the Bell Curve has been disproved. High IQ’s are no substitute for common sense... Ted Cruz came into this world with absolutely NO common sense.
He just proved that Trump was right all along calling him Lying TED. He promised to endorse the nominee during the debate held in Cleveland. He lied, that is all. He will never be considered for major office again. His word is not to be trusted.
People are voting their consciences, Ted!
Get out Ted, you loser.
Literally married to Goldman Sachs: Ted’s wife was among those who paid Hillary $225,000 per secret speech to Goldman Sachs.
Ted showed his true colors tonight. If you feel that way, be honest about it and stay away from the convention like John Kasich or Mitt Romney.
Certainly do not accept a speaking slot on the candidate’s big night after nomination is final.
Ted just proved Trump right (again)....”Lyin’ Ted” is exactly correct.
He’s lucky that he *only* got booed off the stage.
Can anyone explain what Cruz thought to bring about his appearance tonight. What possible good does he think this will do for him? I don’t get it. He destroyed whatever shred of respect some had for him. I personally donated twice to his campaign and could not be more confused than I am now with Ted’s actions. The guy must have some mental problems.
Bottom line: Cruz pledged to support the eventual GOP nominee. He broke his pledge.
Agree. Cruz’s 15 minutes of fame ended tonight.
He will slink back to the senate more hated than before.
The only reason I can think is that Teddy Cruz is in the pocket of certain special interests. Then again, Cruz revealed during the primaries that he isn’t mentally, might have paranoid/anxiety issues. His paranoid obsession with Trump became frightening like a stalker’s.
How is that not a Trump endorsement?
>I was really disappointed in him not endorsing Trump. It makes me wonder what he is trying to do or gain. He lost his bid and is now making enemies. It is hard to understand.
Hillary offered him a bribe and he accepted is my guess.
Rick Perry was bad enough...
so far Abbot seems promising!
As someone who supported Cruz in the primaries, this is extremely diappointing.
Excellent points. Probably less than 1 in 1000 average people asked on the street could identify Sen. Cruz
Thought less of Cruz.
But it is ok to sign a pledge to support the nominee and not do what
you pledged to do? Cruz is a man of principle. Yeah right.
Jim needs to zot your sleezy a$$.
