Thanking his volunteers in Cleveland a day after the Republican National Convention wrapped, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump today slammed Ted Cruz's Wednesday night speech and said he “will not accept” if the Texas senator ever decides to endorse him.

"Honestly, he may have ruined his political career. I feel so badly," Trump said this morning of Cruz, his former primary rival.

Cruz was booed off the stage on the third day of the convention for suggesting that people should “vote their conscience” in November. The Texas senator defended his speech the next morning at a Texas delegate breakfast, arguing he’s “not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and attacks my father.”

Bur Trump said this morning that Cruz will “come and endorse over the next little while. It's because he has no choice. But I don't want his endorsement. What difference does it make?"

"Ted, just stay home, relax, enjoy yourself," Trump said to laughter from the crowd of supporters and convention volunteers.

Trump said he reviewed a version of Cruz's speech, which included no endorsement, but allowed him to take the stage anyway Wednesday night.

“He got up and he added a sentence, which could have been viewed as a nasty thing in terms of what he said because he was implying something which is wrong. But that's OK,” Trump said, referring to Cruz’s “vote your conscience" line.

There is always a choice. Anyone who endorses this insanity deserves the prize at the end.

He knows Sen. Cruz is never going to sully himself by endorsing this horrible, worthless man, so it's easy for him to say anything he wants.

He might as well start running TV ads (assuming he has any funds) against Ted Cruz at this rate.

In reality, it is eating the Donald's insides that Sen. Cruz won't endorse him. tRump is used to getting him own way, know matter what he has to do. Sen. Cruz is getting the last laugh and I hope he is enjoying every minute of it.

Rick Perry, says it well, "If the RNC was about Unity, Cruz didn't get the memo".

You really like quoting "has beens" don't you?

Good thing there wasn't two more things to remember beside "unity"

The RNC wasn't about "Unity", so there was no memo to get.

I'd rather the RNC was about Freedom, Limited Government and Defense of the Constitution and that they UNIFY around those principles.

So Donald Trump can write off Ted Cruz. As well as all the Cruzers who would normally vote for the Republican.

OK fine. I get this.

But why? Why can't the Trumpanzees on this site (as well as TOS) understand this? They keep yammering like Chihuahuas that unless we vote for trump - then we are essentially voting for Hillary.

What a bizarre screed!

If he gets elected, it will be an, um....interesting four years.

I'm listening to Rush try to shill for Trump. Its painful to hear - he's incoherent.

Trump's candidacy will destroy many prominent people.

"vote their conscience" presumes almost 14 million GOP voters and over 1500 GOP delegates did not vote their conscience when they rejected Cruz and voted for Trump. Its insulting to millions of Conservatives.

What part of the RNC was about unity? When they stomped on conservatives over and over? When they took delegate votes for other candidates and awarded them to Trump? When they are instructed to boo Ted Cruz?

There has been no attempt by the Trump Side to reach out or build bridges to conservatives, none.

Those things are being drowned out with boos

Simple fact, if you are still supporting Cruz after he proved what Trump has said about him, live on TV, there is nothing that can help fix that problem. If you will not vote for the GOP ticket to help your fellow Americans stop Hilary there is something broken that cannot be fixed by anything anybody says.
