Cruz gets booed after he declines to endorse Trump
Politico ^ | July 20, 2016 | Nolan D. McCaskill

The Texas senator not only failed to endorse Trump at any point during his 23-minute remarks, he also encouraged Republicans to “vote their conscience...”

When it became clear that Cruz was not was not offering a direct endorsement, the crowd broke out in boos that continued for the balance of Cruz's remarks, shouting "We want Trump" as Cruz wrapped his speech.

And that wasn't the only interruption. Toward the end of Cruz's remarks, Trump himself made a previously unannounced entrance into the arena, prompting cheers and pulling the attention away from the main stage.

Republicans were livid with Cruz for declining to endorse. Mississippi state Rep. Becky Currie blasted Cruz, calling him “stupid” after proving that he “apparently only thinks of himself.”

“If he came here to really unite the party, he would have stood behind the candidate the people chose," Currie, who shouted “Trump” with others in the crowd as Cruz finished his speech...

I hope Teddy is planning to start a Dominionist mega church or something because his political career is in the toilet.

Cruz: I think I should endorse. I did my part. I was supposed to throw my delegates over to you.
GeoHWBush: No. We aren’t finished yet.
Cruz: I will be ruined.
GeoHWBush: Your father never disobeyed orders, which is why you’re here. This is the end of the first quarter.
Cruz: I will obey. Nobody will believe it.
GeoHWBush: There is an unending supply of Cruzlims.

Despite Cruz's attacks on his party's donor class and establishment, the Texas senator Ted Cruz's GOP campaign has received $37 million from just four donors. The Wilks family of Cisco, Texas, New York hedge fund tycoon Bob Mercer, Texas energy investor Toby Neugebauer and Illinois manufacturing moguls Dick and Liz Uihlein.

Cruz could have been an honorable man tonight and said “Donald Trump and I have our differences, but we both love America and want what is best for her so we must make sure Hillary Clinton NEVER enters the White House” that would have been good enough for me, but instead all he talked about was HIMSELF..even when he talked about the dead officer’s family he had to make it about HIMSELF

Trump’s a genius, he already tweeted that he saw the speech and told Ted Cruz he was fine with it..he knew that Cruz would hang himself LIVE on national TV and he did..actually I think he was hoping that Cruz would do the right thing and give SOME kind of endorsement, even if it was half ass just say SOMETHING..which I guess he did by saying to “Vote your conscience” OK cool I vote my conscience, I vote for Trump!

Multiple Supreme Court vacancies likely for 2017-2020, and Cruz can’t decide?

What a moron.

Such schadenfreude at this time after watching Lying Ted rip his mask off in front of the entire world and jump off a cliff.
It was like a Long drawn out Howard Dean scream.

Many foreigners like Cruz come over here to America but hate America. I've seen the hate from foreigners.

He lies to Americans and makes fools of them. Not me I never believed this creep . Neither do I believe Muhammad another cult leader liar.

Again I say it was a huge mistake to let Cruz speak at the RNC. He was there to help himself.

he “apparently only thinks of himself.”

The POS is now officially DONE in politics. So either he didn’t think about that or he doesn’t give a rip. If the latter, perhaps he was paid handsomely for his non-endorsement tonight.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I live in Illinois, not much I can do about Cruz come primary time but every Texan here should remember this a-hole and vote and support his primary opponent.

It’s happening right now to Ryan in Wisconsin.
