I knew all I needed to know about Cruz during the primary.  Which is a whiny slimy politician.  Cruz sold out his principles when the anti-establishment candidate started using the establishment to fund him, raise funds for him, endorse him, and campaign with him.

Plenty of us said FUCK TED CRUZ back then and it still holds true today.  The pathetic politician only got as far as he did because Trump took out the real competition.  Cruz couldn't even beat a fake Republican in Republican race, yet you think he is some political genius.  Well the voters have spoken and the result is Cruz failed.

Quoted:


Cruz is unlikable.  His voice and demeanor are a turn off to a lot of people, he's not a confident leader.  He's whiny.



Plus he looks like a premature baby grew up.

Blah blah, I'm from Texas (which is the only place they put up with my bullshit).

I'm still butthurt that my screechy, whiny, backstabbing wasn't enough to win enough delegates or people's hearts and minds.

I believe in my conscience and my principles and things going the way I want them to, otherwise I'll take my ball and go home, because politics isn't about building coalitions and cooperation, but divisiveness and backstabbing.

Bill Clinton is my homeboy.

Honestly I wouldn't endorse any candidate who doesn't share my views of far right fundamentalist christian sharia law that Americans are fucking fed up hearing about when the Bill of Rights is at stake.

I follow the rules when it benefits me (Colorado), whine about them when people use them against me (the convention).

He has achieved an epic level of butthurt, his asshole is like a glowing crater from a mile wide asteroid.

I have no idea what the hell is wrong with some of you. Vote for whomever has a R next to their name. It's pretty simple. And yes, Ted Cruz is a fucking little bitch.

Quoted:
Good for Ted. It's refreshing to see a politician that doesn't pander to the crowd in front of them.

This is Cruz's vote your conscience comment from the speech.

"If you love our country, and love our children as much as you do, stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom, and to be faithful to the constitution."

Quoted:
It takes a real leader to stand up and deliver the goods when everyone is against him.  It's refreshing to see someone not compromise their principles in spite of what others think or say.  Good for you Ted, you have my respect!!!!!

That was the 2nd time in my life I watched a politician commit suicide live on camera.

Whatever the back story, it helped Trump.

The image is that Cruz has hurt feelings, doesn't support the nominee that We, The People selected, and the crowd turned on him, all while the nominee shrugged it off gracefully.

Planned, or spontaneous, it benefits Trump and makes the only guy I want for Supreme Court look like a dickbutt.

From here.


So, as the dust settles from the chaos that broke out on the convention floor over Senator Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) speech failing to openly endorse Donald Trump, here are some facts upon which to reflect:


1. Donald Trump knew Cruz’s speech text in advance.
2. Cruz told Trump two days in advance that he would not endorse him.
3. The speech itself congratulated Trump on winning the nomination, ripped Hillary Clinton, extolled freedom, and then told Americans to vote their conscience.
4. When Cruz gave the pre-approved speech clearly ripping Hillary and telling Americans to vote based on principle, Trump minions reportedly began whipping the crowd into boos. Paul Manafort reportedly "grinned and chuckled when asked by Mark Halperin if Trump aides encouraged boos of Cruz from the floor.”
5. Trump obviously knew what was coming, too, and entered the arena as Cruz concluded his speech, before Cruz was booed off the stage.

Trump has now tweeted out a slap at Cruz: "Ted Cruz booed off the stage, didn’t honor the pledge! I saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway. No big deal!” Sean Spicer of the pathetic Republican National Convention said that he was "hoping for better,” even though the text was pre-screened. Donald Trump Jr. appeared with Sean Hannity to exclaim, "The best unity I saw was everyone booing [Cruz] off the stage.”


So, to summarize, Trump knew what was coming, apparently planned the boos, and planned to take advantage of the situation in order to vindictively rip open a Republican rift that hurts his own campaign, and cast Cruz as a traitor.


Then he lied about it.


And he did it all because he despises Ted Cruz, because he’s a petty man, and because he’s a stupid boor.


Here’s the amazing truth: had Trump merely instructed his fans to keep clapping throughout Cruz’s speech, it would have looked like the "suggested” endorsement that Team Trump had touted all day long. But Team Trump decided it was more important to throw Cruz out of the popular clique than to take the partial win. Cruz had to be humiliated for his failure to Kneel Before Orange Zod.


It backfired.


Trump and his team end up looking like the bullies they are. They end up looking like the vindictive dolts they are. And Cruz ends up looking like a man willing to stand on principle rather than pay obeisance to an insecure fool who prizes his own narcissism above even the possibility of victory over Hillary Clinton.
