Ever hear the story about the guy throwing Starfish on the beach back into the sea???

That's the spirit!

Welcome to the Apathetic and Cynical Side. We have cookies.

Swire's extra wipe

He's trying to have his tonsil cake and eat it too.

Another singular insight to go along with "Trump isn't serious about running, and won't win a single state primary....... he'll be dropping out soon".

Lol the only butthurt I see from this news are Trump cultists like you lol

I love this announcement only for the reason it being out the cult butthurt.

ETA ok we have one lol

 
I sure would.  The behavior of Cruz has me firmly against him.  He left a lasting negative impression.  Even Bernie Sanders, after really getting screwed, sucked it up and became a team player.  Cruz did not. Cruz took his ball and went home, where he can stay.

No matter what happens I have to eat a shit sandwich???   I can eat the one made of total turd only, or I can eat the one with condiments.  Either way I have to eat one.  Well you pick, but either way you are eating one, might wanna pick the one with some competing flavors??  

Just sayin

Did you miss Rancid Lance's comment the other day? The substance was the same although it was phrased more politely.

Exactly. Don't take anything I say too seriously (I never do). I'm generally full of shit.

Don't encourage this??!!   You are covered with people willing to do your heavy lifting.  He ain't!!!

 
LOL.  Trump and mini-Trump.  




Did Cruz not bring a suit?  Because that one is way to big on him and looks like one of Trump's.  


 

It's nice to see Cruz being a team player finally.  Too bad he had to ruin his reputation to get to this point.

Oh you know where he is,,,,  checking in with his DU handlers of how to spin this.

I'm a Cruz supporter as you may remember but I'm glad he is doing this

The clerk is wishing he'd stop bawling about "I just want my conservative party back!" and pay for the damn thing already.

 
THE NUMBERS MASON!

Cruz's jacket was really bugging me... but you're right, he borrowed one of Trump's for the photo

No doubt.

The last few remaining #AlwaysHillary supporters are already spinning it that the Trump supporter base is butthurt about his endorsement

Trying to project onto someone else

You know they're upset that Cruz endorsed Trump. They always smugly proclaimed how Cruz is such a Principled Conservative who would never endorse the New York Liberal

Funny to see the mental gymnastics.

#NeverTrump is dead

Folks who take themselves too seriously on the internet are doing themselves a disservice.

You sir, are now assigned to getting Subby into line...if you need help with middle of the night sock parties, call Lug....we expect a 100% attitude adjustment in our young fruit loop......

I'm not so sure. It seems like you Trumpeteers are most butthurt about this. Your boogeyman is no longer.

If you wonder why Trump supporters said the things they did, just look at your own snarky, derogatory comments. While I believe childish comments are wasteful of energy needed elsewhere, I understand why they made their comments. Pot, Kettle.

And nice to see Mr Cruz come around....time for this party to rock the country and leave no wonder about what the people want from its Goverment....

It feels good man.

Oh Cruz, timing was never your thing.

My boogeyman is Shillary. Not sure about you.

For real?  Are you guys serious with this crap?

General Martok: "THEN THE VICTORY WILL BE OURS!! ALONE!!!"

That's right.  

Any yellow dog before Hillary.
Trump's a blonde.
So there you are.

But I forget.  What in his speech was in opposition to Trump's policies/positions and how are they different.  Please highlight Trumps opposition points and how they are better for the US.

Everyone's help in assisting me in rembering how evil the speach was is appreciated.


Here's the full transcript of Cruz's RNC speech:

   Thank you. Heidi and I are honored to join you here in Cleveland, where Lebron James just led an incredible comeback victory. I'm convinced America is going to come back too.

   I congratulate Donald Trump on winning the nomination last night.

   Conventions are times of excitement. But given the events of the last few weeks, I hope you'll allow me a moment to talk to you about what's really at stake.

   Just two weeks ago, a nine-year-old girl named Caroline was having a carefree Texas summer – swimming in the pool, playing with friends, doing all the things a happy child might do. Like most children, she took for granted the love she received from her mom, Heidi, and her dad, a police sergeant named Michael Smith. That is, until he became one of the five police officers gunned down inDallas.

   The day her father was murdered, Caroline gave him a hug and kiss as he left for work. But as they parted, her dad asked her something he hadn't asked before: "What if this is the last time you ever kiss or hug me?'" Later, as she thought of her fallen father, and that last heartbreaking hug, Caroline broke down in tears. How could anything ever be OK again?

   Michael Smith was a former Army ranger who spent three decades with the Dallas Police Department. I have no idea who he voted for in the last election, or what he thought about this one. But his life was a testament to devotion. He protected the very protestors who mocked him because he loved his country and his fellow man. His work gave new meaning to that line from literature, "To die of love is to live by it."

   As I thought about what I wanted to say tonight, Michael Smith's story weighed on my heart. Maybe that's because his daughter, Caroline, is about the same age as my eldest daughter and happens to share the same name. Maybe it's because I saw a video of that dear, sweet child choking back sobs as she remembered her daddy's last question to her. Maybe it's because we live in a world where so many others have had their lives destroyed by evil, in places like Orlando and Paris and Nice and Baton Rouge.

   Maybe it is because of the simple question itself:

   What if this, right now, is our last time? Our last moment to do something for our families and our country? Did we live up to our values? Did we do all we could?


   That's really what elections should be about. That's why you and millions like you devoted so much time and sacrifice to this campaign. We're fighting, not for one particular candidate or one campaign, but because each of us wants to be able to tell our kids and grandkids, our own Carolines, that we did our best for their future, and for our country. America is more than just a land mass between two oceans. America is an idea, a simple yet powerful idea: freedom matters.


   For much of human history, government power has been the unavoidable constant in life – government decrees, and the people obey. Not here. We have no king or queen. No dictator. We the People constrain government. Our nation is exceptional because it was built on the five most powerful words in the English language: I want to be free.


   Never has that message been more needed than today. We stand here tonight a nation divided. Partisan rancor, anger, even hatred are tearing America apart. And citizens are furious—rightly furious—at a political establishment that cynically breaks its promises and ignores the will of the people. We have to do better. We owe our fallen heroes more than that.


   Of course, Obama and Clinton will tell you that they also care about our children's future. And I want to believe them. But there is a profound difference in our two parties' visions for the future.

   Theirs is the party that thinks ISIS is a "JV team," that responds to the death of Americans at Benghazi by asking, "What difference does it make?" That thinks it's possible to make a deal with Iran, which celebrates as holidays "Death to America Day" and "Death toIsrael Day."

   My friends, this is madness. President Obama is a man who does everything backwards – he wants to close Guantanamo Bay and open up our borders, he exports jobs and imports terrorists.

   Enough is enough.

   There is a better vision for our future: A return to freedom. On education, your freedom to choose your child's education, even if you aren't as rich as Hillary Clintonor Barack Obama.



   On taxes, your freedom to provide for your family without the IRS beating down your door. The Internet? Keep it free from taxes, free from regulation. And don't give it away to Russia and China.


   Freedom means free speech, not politically correct safe spaces. Freedom means religious freedom, whether you are Christian or Jew, Muslim or atheist. Gay or straight, the Bill of Rights protects the rights of all of us to live according to our conscience. Freedom means the right to keep and bear arms, and protect your family. Freedom means Supreme Court Justices who don't dictate policy, but instead follow the Constitution.


   And freedom means recognizing that our Constitution allows states to choose policies that reflect local values. Colorado may decide something different than Texas. New York different than Iowa. Diversity. That's the way it's supposed to be. If not, what's the point of having states to begin with?


   Hillary Clinton believes government should make virtually every choice in your life. Education, healthcare, marriage, speech – all dictated out of Washington. But something powerful is happening. We've seen it in both parties. We've seen it in the United Kingdom's unprecedented Brexit vote to leave the European Union.

   Voters are overwhelmingly rejecting big government. That's a profound victory. People are fed up with politicians who don't listen to them, fed up with a corrupt system that benefits the elites, instead of working men and women.


   We deserve an immigration system that puts America first. And yes, builds a wall to keep us safe. That stops admitting ISIS terrorists as refugees.


   We deserve trade policies that put the interests of American farmers and manufacturing jobs over the global interests funding the lobbyists. And if we choose freedom, our future will be brighter. Freedom will bring back jobs, raise wages. Freedom will lift people out of dependency, to the dignity of work.


   We can do this. 47 years ago today, America put a man on the moon. That's the power of freedom.


   Our party was founded to defeat slavery. Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. We passed the Civil Rights Act, and fought to eliminate Jim Crow laws.

   Those were fights for freedom, and so is this.


   Sergeant Michael Smith stood up to protect our freedom.


   So do our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines fighting radical Islamic terrorism.


   So did the family of Alton Sterling, who bravely called to end the violence.


   So did the families of those murdered at the Charleston Emanuel AME church, who forgave that hateful, bigoted murderer.


   And so can we.

   We deserve leaders who stand for principle. Unite us all behind shared values. Cast aside anger for love. That is the standard we should expect, from everybody.


   And to those listening, please, don't stay home in November. 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.


   It's love of freedom that has allowed millions to achieve their dreams. Like my Mom, the first in her family to go to college, and my Dad, who fled prison and torture in Cuba, coming to Texas with just $100 sewn into his underwear.

   And it is love that I hope will bring comfort to a grieving 9-year-old girl in Dallas – and, God willing, propel her to move forward, and dream, and soar . . . and make her daddy proud.


   We must make the most of our moment – to fight for freedom, to protect our God-given rights, even of those with whom we don't agree, so that when we are old and gray . . . and our work is done . . . and we give those we love one final kiss goodbye . . . we will be able to say, "Freedom matters, and I was part of something beautiful."


   Thank you. And may God bless the United States of America.

The only people butt-hurt and angry about this anouncement are the Tramp fanatics lol Irony

Burger King babies out in force.

"Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us, you don't need to be afraid to HAVE IT YOUR WAY!!!"

So far the news this weekend is going to essentially be the tail end of the NYC/NJ IED attack coverage, the Syrian cease fire failing spectacularly, the riots in Charlotte which were just proven to be total bullshit (video of the guy advancing on the cops carrying a gun), Clinton taking a nap, and this.  Excellent terrain for Trump to maneuver in.

Have you missed the angry butthurt posts by your crew in this  thread ? LOL There are only two Nevertrumpers from my count and only one is mad.

Better now than never,  and before the first debate as well.

I'm happy to welcome Cruz aboard the Trump Train...next stop The White House.

I wish Ted well too.





I do pity the Canadian Concern Troll though because his cover has been blown.

Nope, every time I maybe consider voting for Trump, his supporters show how retarded they are -- such as your post.

I hope Trump wins so Hillary doesn't, but I won't be associated with his retarded supporters. If he doesn't win, I will beat the trumpsters over the head with his loss for the next 4-8 years -- win win for me

I think he would do well in any form of oversight.

This and fk the dips hit who called him a Democrat. You don't know WTF Trump is even gonna do. Ted record is on the side of the Constitution.  Come back in 4 yrs and tell me what Orange Jesus has done.

No, tell me more...

I think Ted Cruz's wife is a whore too. Will he endorse me too now?

Every vote counts.  Was Cruz holding out gonna cause Trump to lose...NO WAY!!!

Will Cruz endorsing make a path to victory that much easier....YES IT WILL.


Cruz should have been silent or endorsed at the convention.  But here we are now.  


Maybe we could all quit bitching at each other, from both sides, and unify????   Does that make any sense at all???

He is an odd one.

Join date/post count

From a teener!!

Good. Every endorsement helps to keep the witch out of the White House. As for the butt hurt they can blow one another after the election.  And above all I want the clintons out of politics once and for all. In prison would be nice too.

Except for an Amendment or two and the treaty ratification process, right?
