Enjoyed your post,Dolly. Thanks.
Hugs right back to you.
It's not that Cruz really wants Constitutional judges, limited government, religious freedom or the rest, it's only that these were the pillars of his campaign and he wants the Presidency above all else, thinks he's sent by God.
He's narcissistic at best, psychotic at worst.
Corey Giving Thumbs Up to TRUMP at the Convention.
Sarah Palin to Ted Cruz: “Delete your career”...
I read that Cruz was on CNN and said he's not in the habit of endorsing someone who spoke bad about his wife. I guess he forgot about posting photos of Trumps wife and saying disparaging comments. I'm glad he has destroyed himself. Now, Texas has to get rid of him when he's up for reelection if he has the guts to try to run for reelection.

That’s him!
Ted had a chance to be a man and he backed out in front of millions.
I would have preferred more conservative speakers.
It’s more than that. Posted this on another thread
He is extremely jealous of Pence IMO Pence is everything TC wants to be.
He is successful— both as a congressman and governor
He is a great family man with three outstanding children
He has a wonderful marriage
He is popular even with the opposition
He is a Christian, a conservative and a republican
Last night was as much as an attack against Pence as Trump. Pence is now the logical next torchbearer of the party. NOT TC
But then, a realization hit me: Donald Trump is the only candidate that clearly understood how it is to deal directly with "red tape" of government regulations, especially given his dealings with the City Council of New York City and the state government in Albany, NY. That's something other candidates don't understand in the Republican field, and Hillary Clinton CERTAINLY does not, especially given her admiration for Saul Alinsky.
In fact, I really want Trump to do something daring: frame his acceptance speech around the "Rules For Radicals" that Alinsky wrote in the book of the same name. After all, that's how Obama ran his Presidency, and Hillary Clinton--given her now-secret thesis written when she was a student at Wellesley College--will run her Presidency.
Nikos, Cruz being a dry drunk did cross my mind last night. Of course he may be just crazy. Who knows. I actually think that Cruz’s decision not to endorse Trump could be a good thing in the long run. This may make the party stronger as people coalesce in their anger against Cruz. Cruz lost, Trump gained. Trump is going to be fantastic tonight and the place is going to rock. It’s going to be the best night of the convention!
[Cruz speech ended around 10pm. By 2am, received Cruz fundraising appeal.]
I got one too and UNSUBSCRIBED him. Can’t believe I was on one his leadership lists.
I’m now participating in the TRUMP 4 Word Recovery Program - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!)
Ted Cruz is a fake. Remember the first paragraph of his op ed with Paul Ryan in the Wall Street Journal:
“The United States is making headway on two historic trade agreements, one with 11 countries on the Pacific Rim and another with America’s friends in Europe. These two agreements alone would mean greater access to a billion customers for American manufacturers, farmers and ranchers. “
Cruz was in support of free trade agreements, but backtracked when he realized he would lose political support. However, this first paragraph showed that he was in support of free trade, and that he is a liar.
He doubled down, tripled down, and quadrupled down. Absolutely bat-shit crazy, this man. Texans are telling him he needs to abide by his pledge; he refuses.
[Channeling Swaggart now.]
JIMMY SWAGGART turned his life around.
[You mean he’s now doubling down?]
CRUZ has doubled down as far as he can go. What comes after that?
“I think that DJT wanted to put him right in front of Pence to show the contrast in the two.”
Interesting point. That may be exactly what happened. Smart.
Pence has really impressed me...He speech was a tonic after the bitter taste left by Cruz’s non support.
Trump picked a great VP partner.

Last night, Cruz showed that he's earned a leading role in the nation's political future. And that nation is Canada.
