And like Benedict Arnold, he has thrown in with the enemy because of perceived slights to his honor and a desire for personal glory. Good comparison. Benedict Cruz.

I think Pence will be a better future candidate than Cruz

Typical establishment double-speak. Straw men galore.

The anger at Cruz comes from his not honoring his pledge. Not whether his family was maligned, not whether bald- headedness is curable ... The only thing that Cruz needs to talk about is his choice to go against his word. Anything else is typical, establishment hogwash bs.

He could maybe say that he is aware that he is breaking his pledge and then try to defend that decision...he has an argument. But he’s not doing that. He’s denying that he’s broken his word. Thit shat don’t fly.

I don’t recall Reagan coming to the podium in 1976 and telling people not to vote for Ford. After the convention, he made a commercial for Ford, and appeared on his behalf, contrary to what Levin claims.

Cruz is very unlikeable to democrats and independents. He should keep up his sore loser act, it will only help Trump win in November against the Beast.

I think one of Cruz’s biggest problem is religious pride. He thinks he’s better than everyone else and that God ‘anointed’ him to be president. I think he greatly damaged his 2020 chances last night.

I don’t recall all the particulars. I wasn’t tuned in like we are on Free Republic now, and didn’t do assessment to the degree we do now.

Reagan wasn’t the type of guy to screw the nation to get even with another candidate from his own party.

We must also remember that pre Carter, most Democrats were nowhere near the threat to our nation that Obama and Clinton are.

Reagan would have been praising his rival if they were running against the likes of Mrs. Clinton.

Ted is just utterly clueless.

You must have been watching “Turn: Washington’s Spies”, like I was. It was great, I am really hoping for another season.

I voted for Cruz in the Maryland primary. By his performance the last few days, he has lost my future votes for him in national primaries.

Thank you for augmenting my statement:

take into consideration that the Trump gang wished you to be part of the/a victory

And yes, we all know how much credence Becks words hold.

Cruz now reminds me of Scar, whose jealousy links him to hyenas and other destroyers, in order to be 'king.'

Cruz is an ankle biter for his own ego.

More than that he believes his father’s prophesy that Teddy is destined to be POTUS. That explains his entire behavior.

Trump let him speak and laid the trap. He knew Cruz’s fatal flaw and knew that Ted would not be able to stop himself from exposure as the arrogant a-hole he is. Ted walked right into it.
