CLEVELAND -- Ted Cruz did the Republican Party no favors last night when he pointedly refused to endorse GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, breaking a promise he and other rival candidates made at the outset of the primary campaign last year.

“I wonder how many Cruz supporters became former Cruz
supporters last night.” - samtheman
In today’s currency, I wonder how much Ted got to play Judas to America.
I wonder how much the Bush/Clintons paid their minion for that debacle last night..
You should trademark that word if possible...probably not... or get a web domain...it could be used a lot In the future
Kaysuck, Yeb! and the Cubanadian and any of the other also-rans who continue to help Hillary by not endorsing Trump deserve their political banishment.
Saw CSPAN talk to many of the Texas delegates afterwards-they were not happy with Ted at all.
Humility is an unknown concept to a narcissist like Cruz
Cruz became the incredible shrinking man and Trump because the incredible hulk, albeit a gracious one.
Never underestimate Trump! Cruz should know this by now. (btw, Trump timed his arrival perfectly!)
All but Mike Lee, Ken Cuccinelli, and Heidi Cruz...and I’m not sure about Heidi.
Tantrum Teddy didn’t win and he’s a sore loser.
I’ve seen 5 year old kids with more class.
The author wrote: “He saddled Cruz with the undeserved nickname “Lyin’ Ted.”
Last night Cruz proved he deserved the nick name.
My take as well. I have been a Cruz supporter until recently, and last night’s speech finished off what little support i had in me for Ted. Principles or no, he pledged his support for the nominee. I value a man’s word right up until he showed me it’s worthless. Too bad, we need the man he pretended to be.
If Trump had waited Cruz would have been ruthlessly booed from the stage, Trump entrance turned the attention to him and Cruz got off stage. I didn’t even see Cruz get off the stage.
I loved the booing, and the fact he was invited to a millionires party at the convention and then turned away at the door.
PRICELESS
Maybe the initial cheers were still echoing in his head when the reality of what he had done to himself became evident in the boos. His ego and vanity took him down and demonstrated why Trump cleaned his clock. He wanted to hurt Trump, even with the Nation at stake, and destroyed what was left of himself.
I thought I read rumors Mike Lee told Cruz to endorse Trump.
I might be wrong.
His constant rant of “principles” when compared to his actions only proved he has no principles. It is only a cover for a very dark heart.
This was really cutting off ones nose to spite their face.
Cruz has taken the torch from Ron Paul and will live his life in exile as the kook politician.
The display at the podium last night demonstrated more than anything else that Cruz has no flex in him, which is death to a politician. There are so many ways he could have endorsed Trump without sacrificing his “principles.”
Just one e.g., refer to the very conservative platform and say that he will work with Trump to see that it is honored. That would get his point across and still make him viable for the future.
As it is he immolated his future.
