Ted Cruz booed at convention

[makattak]

Perhaps, but in that case you say so up front.  And you don't accept a prime time speaking slot. 

At least he attended the convention, unlike Bushs, Romney, etc. 

He won 8+ states. He didn't have to "accept" a speaking slot, he earned it.

Since the donald knew what the speech was gonna be do you think he was using  it to play the faithful? Again

The whole lot of them should be booed.

And tarred and feathered.

Trump brags about his serial adultery, his fans applaud what a player he is. Ted Cruz honors a pledge he made, but not as vigorously as Trump's fans want and they call Cruz a traitor.

Trump calls Cruz's wife ugly and implies he has dirt on her, his surrogates spread false rumors that Cruz has had numerous affairs, he implies Cruz's father helped assassinate JFK, and he constantly called Cruz a liar.

It's shocking, shocking I say, that Cruz refused to wholeheartedly endorse Trump.

I think the next 4 months are going to be a hoot.

We get the government that we deserve becomes more evident every day.  Don't worry, Trump won't be elected even if he gets the most popular and electoral votes.  Why?  Because we won't know he got the most popular and electoral votes because key voting areas in America are rigged to pick Hillary no matter how anyone their votes.

'I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father,' Cruz said

He put family first.

Good. My estimation of the man just went up. (Family comes before country in the order of correct priorities.)

Supporter of candidate who espouses conspiracy theories is preparing for his candidates crushing defeat by readying conspiracy theory in advance.

I don't keep up with debates, so I was unaware of that. It also looks as if the general public still believed Cruz was pledged to support Trump, at least up until last night.

Earlier, Cruz had told Cooper when asked the same question: "I'm not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and my family ... I think nominating Donald Trump would be an absolute trainwreck, I think it would hand the general election to Hillary Clinton."

That was almost four months ago, so this can't have been a surprise to the folks in charge.

I googled some of the more notable smears that Trump ran against Cruz, and they all seem to post-date Cruz's early March pledge to support the nominee.


That link also has text that's supposed to be from The Pledge. According to that, they did pledge to endorse the winning candidate, though it doesn't say when.

Everything Ted Cruz does is Machiavellian calculation... while everything Trump does is...any different?

Sure. One difference...
Trump plays to win and then wins.  Cruz plays to win and then loses.

Achilles, sulking in his tent.  My advice: Ted, watch your heel.

It's telling that everyone konws "vote your conscience" means don't vote for Donald Trump.  

The local, Trump uber alles radio guy even called it a "dog whistle." 

I hear "vote your conscience" as a fig leaf for may gopers who dont want to vote for trump but want others to vote for them when they get the nom next time around.  Oh no they are not faithless gopers they just voted their conscience.

As for third party purist zero probability of winning voting, that is properly known as "peter pan  voting."

Ftr my conscience tells me to vote for trump as jesus christ is not on the ballot.

People thought Trump was exaggerating when he said he could murder someone on camera and his fanboys would still vote for him.

[Pb]

You have to be kidding me.  I wouldn't call Trump conservative....he is a capitalist.

You misunderstood me.  We should have nominated a conservative instead of the orange baboon.  But since the Primary voters picked Trump, we get Hillary instead.

I don't think we will have the evil hag...the orange baboon I believe will be the next  President.

I'd say it really depends on what happens with terrorists between now and Nov. If a Nice happens and a bunch of folks are killed by an Islamic immigrant then Cheeto Jesus will probably win.

Well, the winky face is there for a reason. And don't get me started on the third-party angst.

I have it on the highest authority that, despite his messiah complex, Glen Beck is not Jesus.

What is this Glenn Beck cheeto thing, now?

That might be a TOS/COC violation for here in TPP... but damn if that didn't make me bust out loud laughing.

Apparently even Cruz's onw (former) supporters believed that:

http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/07/21/richard-viguerie-ted-cruz-committed-political-suicide-national-tv/

And most importantly for those of us who endorsed Ted Cruz and worked for him in the Republican primaries, he betrayed the trust we gave him that he was a bigger man than his attackers and that there was a cause greater than self in the hard-fought battles of the Republican primaries.
...
I thought Ted Cruz was a patriot. Tonight, he proved he isn’t. However bitter and angry he is at Donald Trump, he knows that Trump is the only person standing between Hillary Clinton (a liar, a fraud, a thief and a traitor) and the presidency. And yet – after meticulously laying out the case against another 4 to 8 years of leftist tyranny — he refused to endorse the one man who can put an end to our long national nightmare.
...
After failing to endorse the Trump – Pence ticket last night, in eyes of most conservatives with whom I spoke, Ted Cruz became just another self-centered politician who walked back on a promise, failed to live up to his own Biblical standards and, when the battle raged the fiercest, put his own petty hurts before the future of his country and the conservative cause.[/quote[

Breitbart is %100 in the tank for Trump, their opinion means less than nothing.
