Drove all of us nuts. I was a Bears fan. He drove Halas nuts too. Little sh*t would run around back there. He was the Johnny Manziel of his time.

[PghBaldy]

Cruz really is an arrogant psycho. He is once again attacking the NY delegation.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Trashing NY delegation.

The man is batshit crazy

[TomGuy]

Next gig for Ted Cruz:

Updating that Dale Carnegie classic and expanded the title to: "How to Win Friends and Influence People While Ending Your Political Career"

Alternate title under consideration: "How to Shoot Yourself in the Foot and End Your Political Career"

[/s]

Cruz is giving some kind of presser this morning, defending his actions and trying to play down the situation.

psst, Ted, STOP DIGGING.

[Spirit of Liberty]

Did you catch the Greek Orthodox priest’s benediction last night? No, I didn’t, but I wasn’t watching the convention.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I think is about more than 2020.

He wants to be the anti-Trump voice in the Senate. Power.

[nikos1121]

I don’t think so, with all due respect.

Trump gave Cruz the chance to endorse him or not. Either way Trump wins on this. Cruz could have come out and joined the ticket. He chose not to.

Did not diminish Pence in the least.

I think Pence is the perfect VP pick. Perfect.

Someone said Newt should have a special assignment ie to head up a task force that will identify and get rid of gov’t waste, un-needed departments, set the goals in various areas including space exploration etc.

[PghBaldy]

Laura Ingraham talking live about this (she was there, obviously) http://www.talkstreamlive.com/program/laura_ingraham/

[PghBaldy]

Probably right. He is a nut though. Can’t believe Texas did not see through him years ago, though. He has always creeped me out. Slimey, smirking lawyer that he is.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Texas delegate says point blank, we need you to endorse.

Ted saying it is the easy out. Says he won’t lie. Texas delegate raking him over the coals for his non-answers,

[Jane Long]

I just posted the same, on another thread.

He’s sick. Needs help/intervention.

Looking pathetic and ill.

[Crusher138]

Ted Cruz is a lying crap weasel.

[MayflowerMadam]

IIRC, Ted does have a history of alcoholism, as does his father. Even if an alcoholic isn’t drinking at the moment, there are tendencies that remain.

I worked in the Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Dept. of the city where I lived. I was one year out of Baptist Seminary, after being raised in a parsonage, and knew nothing about alcohol; absolutely nothing (except that it’s eee-vil). I lasted a month there as a fish out of water, and begged for a transfer, but I learned a lot in those four weeks. Ted does seem to have typical “dry drunk” issues. Your word, “unstable”, is perfect. And “delusions of grandeur”.

I’m watching the freak’s press conference now. Digging himself deeper into his hole.

[lysie]

Delicious. Thanks.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

My God.

Not going to lie. Will honor is comittment to voters.

What about pledge?

His speech last night was telling Trump “This is how you win.” From a loser-rich.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Channeling Swaggart now.

[Religion and Politics]

Seeing this too. He says easy way out is to support, but that is the pledge he took. Why do that if that was supposedly the easy way out?

Here is a question. If he ever is the "nominee", should the entire party hold their support until election day? What an idiot.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

FOX cut away :-(

[PghBaldy]

I had to mute him. He repels me - his personality and manner in particular. He is arrogant and thinks we are idiots, and it shows. He once again mocked the NY delegation.
