Why is “lyin Ted’s” endorese so important? Read the comments below. If some on this Board really believe the bad crap they write about him then why did every one make such a big deal out of him having” to endorse Trump?
Why is it so important? Unity, and not giving ammunition to the other side. It’s about showing you are a team player, and fighting for a common goal, not personal gain. I thought being a Christian meant being forgiving, not vindictive. He’s parading himself as an icon of virtue, but he is not living that way. He is not a good example of a Republican, gives conservatism a bad name, and is not acting in a way that deserves to be designated Christian.
To show party unity and to encourage what is left of his following to support Trump. His non-endorsement helped Trump more, perhaps Trump and Cruz realized that this was intentionally done.
because giving the enemy any ammunition to beat Trump at this point is an abomination to the freedom of the country and Lyin Ted just did that after Trump gave him a top speaking slot at his convention
It wouldn’t have been important IF he endorsed him, it’s important that he didn’t, because of what it says about Cruz.
His speech was basically saying “I hope we lose this year, so I can just keep running for President for the next four years. I like grandstanding, and it will be more fun if there’s a Democrat in power, though I’m willing to sabotage Trump too, if I think it will be good for me.”
“Why is “lyin Ted’s” endorese so important?”
You’re right, Ted’s endorsement is not important at all. Trump does not need it, and letting Ted Cruz embarrass himself one last time will have no negative effect on Trump whatsoever.
In fact, it is probably better that Trump stay distanced from Cruz and whatever is left of his loony following. Even the Texas delegation showed on Tuesday they are ready to embrace Trump as their “new friend” and their positive comments about Cruz seemed to me a minimal act of kindness and sympathy for a “favorite son”, as was the Texas-only applause on Wednesday.
Cruz is toxic after Wednesdsy, when he doubled down on his awful NY values gaffe by saying the whole point of states is that NY can disagree with Iowa, and when he answered the widespread boos with the smug and sarcastic “I appreciate the enthusiasm of the NY delegation”.
As if the NY delegation were the only ones booing. As if being hated is a mark of conservative virtue. As if his invitation to speak was anything more than a bone being tossed to a pathetic sore loser. As if he was, like RR in 1976, delivering such stirring and historic oratory that the spellbound audience was thinking “God help us, we’ve nominated the wrong man! Cruz is the one we should have nominated!”
As if.
