I really don’t think it was Ted’s plan for him to be booed off the stage.
He thought he would be cheered for sticking to “his principles”.
He thought he would be cheered for sticking to “his principles”.
He wanted to make a speech that would be seen as supportive of the party without actually saying that he endorsed Trump, and he expected -- I guess -- that he'd be cheered on for asserting conservative values.
That's a dangerous game to play. You have to know the room and know what the audience expects. And you have to know how you come across. Ted Cruz didn't. Ronald Reagan could get away with giving a convention speech that barely mentioned the party's nominee. Ted Cruz couldn't. For one thing "vote your conscience" isn't likely to be seen as any kind of party unity message. For another, Ted went on for too long.
Chew on that Ted!
Give me back my money too, jackass. The proceeding message is from a supporter who was for Cruz until he dropped out and was also holding judgment until his opportunity to do right for the country. Today I'm just plain livid. I can't even imagine supporting him in the future for anything but maybe assistant turd counter and head condom remover at his local sewer treatment plant.

I bet Glenn Beck was cheering.
