Regarding your tagline: Cruz’s speech was great only if you side with those stabbing America in the back. His intentional backstabbing message came across loud and clear and he deserved being booed off the stage. Cruz is a first class ass. And I used to like the guy.
Thank you JIm
Then Hillary got her money's worth.
“And I used to like the guy.”
I used to like the guy also. As I posted several times after Cruz’s speech that Cruz was dead to me. Like you, early on I made mention that we needed to come together and get behind the eventual nominee. That was Trump and when he crossed the thresh hold I put my full support behind him.
But on to my tagline. If Cruz started his speech with congratulating Trump, then endorsing him, then continuing with the speech it would have been hailed as one of the great speeches. And it was a great speech, but was completely off topic for this venue. The point of my tag line is it isn’t what Cruz said that everyone will remember. It is what he didn’t say. When Cruz left the stage, the only thing me and probably every other Republican thought about was that Cruz did not endorse Trump.
I think people are taking my tagline as some snarky dig at Trump or as a show of support for Cruz. On the contrary. It showed Cruz for what he really is. A self centered piece of crap who in the end validated McConnell and the GOP’s hatred of him.
