Never heard her discuss it, but this might be a factor.

If she has that, she'll wind up looking like Rondo Hatton or Andre the Giant in a few years and then she'll die.  And so it goes.

That jerk Cruz, ever the self-absorbed asshole; emphasis on asshole.

Cruz isn`t going to suck Trump`s cock like the rest of the spineless, milquetoast GOP. Good for him. At least one Republican has a set.

He has a set alright.  Brass ones.  He has the True Believers conned with his televangelist theater shtick.  He's an empty suit who should go back to his career as an establishment appointee...his chair in Austin is still warm.  Or maybe he could get a real job and see how the world works.  I have no patience for a guy who never shuts up about defending freedom and liberty but sat out three wars collecting political chits.  A creep of the first order.

LOL  Ted Cruz shit the bed in an epic political suicide.  Trump handed him the rope, and he hung himself with it.
Trump is playing multi-dimensional chess, and the rest are playing checkers.

You`re talking about, Drumpf, right? You know, the guy that dodged the draft and laughed about it. Yeah, the guy that called John McCain a loser for being "captured" and enduring years of torture when he didn`t even HAVE to. Because you sure aren`t talking about the 40-something Ted Cruz. The Ted Cruz who has done precisely what his constituents elected him to do; The same Ted Cruz who has not sold his soul to the orangutan; And the very same Ted Cruz with the moral fortitude to reject Drumpf and his glassy-eyed cultists -- whom, by the way, again reared their ugly heads and showed their true colors with their abuse of Heidi Cruz tonight -- in favor of doing the right thing, not the expedient thing.

Dio benedica Ted Cruz
Molto ben fatto !

Yeah...right lol.

[WOTR]

Precisely.  Tonight he's turned himself into a heel on par with Vince McMahon, to have an entire arena booing him and he nonchalantly goes on with his speech, stubbornly refusing to give his support to the only obstacle left in Hillary's march to the White House.  Thumbing his nose at democracy he is.

Just trying to follow the thought process... How does not endorsing Trump mean that he is thumbing his nose at democracy?

"I think Trump is going to win. Boo if you want. I live in Michigan. It's gonna be the Brexit strategy. The middle of England is Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania"

Micheal Moore is a complete moron.

Trump is within 5 points in Michigan and just might win the state.

[nooryisawesome]

Not getting Lyin Ted's endorsement is seen  as a positive by me for Trump.  Cruz is a complete clown.  He talks non stop about the bible faith in god etc, but its beed pretty much proved  #cruzsexscandal

Cruz is also the same idiot that wants to get rid of the department of education. I am not saying the education system doesn't need to be reformed and more power given to local authorities. But there has got to be some federal oversight. Same with the department of energy and housing.

He's butt hurt that most Republicans support DT and not him, so now by withholding his endorsement he is trying to sabotage them - undermine those idiots who voted for DT in the primaries, how dare they not pick King Cruz.  I wouldn't be surprised if he privately celebrates a Hillary victory because Trump insulted his wife and his daddy.

[21st Century Man]

Shit you people whine about what a snake Cruz is for not supporting Trump.  Frankly I have to say it shows a lot of fortitude to not submit to peer pressure and bullying but that is just me.  The fact of the matter is he's still probably going to vote for Trump but he's not going to endorse him.  I don't endorse Trump either but I am voting for him in November.

Yes, I agree. Polling is skewed. People tell pollsters they will not support Trump. Google "the Bradley effect".

[21st Century Man]

I'm hearing reports that Trump whipped up his delegates to boo Cruz for not endorsing him.  Trump had read Cruz's speech before Cruz gave it.  Class act, that Donald. It disheartens me that people on here think everyone should get in line behind Trump.  It kind of reminds me of the way the Nazis convinced the German public to get behind them as no other views would be tolerated.  An endorsement is  solid affirmation of a candidate.  A person who does that totally believes in the candidate and supports the candidate 110%.  Come hell or high water, that person stands with the candidate.  Trump has not shown himself to be worthy of such support.  I will still vote for the guy but with deep concern.  I imagine Cruz will too but I can't say I would blame him if he doesn't.

21st, respectfully, I disagree. In my view, it's about getting all the help we can in defeating the Sea Hag. GOD knows all media is in the tank for her.

I don't disagree with you about fighting the sea hag  but I have a lot of concerns about Trump.  I don't want us to blindly follow him down whatever rabbit hole he goes down. He has made a lot of statements that concern me.  He has said that he wants to issue executive orders much the same way that Obama has.  That is disturbing to me.  I am just saying, yeah, he's the guy we have to get behind come election day but he has his faults and to ignore them completely is wrong.  That is why I can't endorse the guy completely but I will support him.

Perhaps I'm naive, but I think his hands will be tied, a harmless joke. Aside from Exec-orders, the Prez can do little. The Supremes will void exec-orders if needed.

Maybe they will be tied, maybe not.  I'm not putting much of my faith in the Supreme Court at this moment.  They have a history of issuing some poor decisions every now and then. Anyway, thanks for the dialogue.  I just think people need to step back and see where other people are coming from before condemning them completely.  Cruz has shown that he is principled and we should respect him for that. I expect some sarcastic comments coming my way after that last statement but I'm a big boy.  I can take it.

[Humilia Lepus Foramen]

Full disclosure 21st, I've never voted for a Republican presidential candidate in my life, I'm one of those "Independent" voters, and yes, obviously DT has his flaws.  But the bottom line is, the sea hag MUST be defeated in the election or I'm not sure we will have much of a country left in the next 4-8 years.  Just look at the "quickening" of social unrest under the current democrat administration over just the past year or two.  If that continues we are looking at 3rd world country status.  That is why it is so important to put up a unified opposition to the sea hag, including Republican leaders like Cruz getting behind their party's candidate.

Why was Ted Cruz even invited?

>Ted Cruz will not endorse newly minted GOP nominee Donald Trump Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention, NPR has learned.

>There is expected to be "severe blowback" without an endorsement, per a convention source, in a very pro-Trump room as the GOP primary runner-up still withholds his official blessing in his speech after a bitter primary campaign.
According to the source, by letting the Texas senator speak anyway it will make Trump look like the "bigger man here" as the Texas senator reneges on the party pledge all candidates signed to support the eventual GOP nominee.

Why should he endorse Trump?  Most people wouldn't!  In this case it's not so much as about sour grapes as it is about being reasonable.  Evidently Cruz has a conscience.
