Trump makes his grand entrance during Cruz's speech and cameras pull away to Trump.

Stay classy, Trump.  /extreme sarcasm
When Clinton was in office I thought no one could be as vain and always on camera, then Lord Foul was elected and proved me wrong, Trump will be Moby Dick in compared to obama's minnow!

Where the hell is the thread that I can force my opinions and attack other posters like an angry insult comic?

You can abuse us, Frank. We have built up an immunity to it, though.   :tongue2:

Lol, if they understood the context of the image that was photoshopped from, they would realise they were being trolled with it.

Looking at it all I could think of was darkness.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

:silly: :silly:   I didn't notice this until someone on Twitter pointed it out, but they asked Trump what "honer" is...and does it rhyme with Boner?
The reason that Trump can't spell honor is simple, he has absolutely no experience with the word! I wonder if Jr. will tweet out that Cruz is now finished, his career over, because he didn't bend knee in fealty. All those who were disgusted by eight years of a Lord Foul Monarchy seem to be just fine in accepting someone who acts even more like a king.

Freya, don't let it bother you. friend.  Ted Cruz doesn't get intimidated.  This kind of crap rolls right off him and he glides on by, unfazed. 

He's looking ahead to 2020.  In November, when the oafish nominee crashes and burns, Ted's going to be the leader of a movement.

Thanks, Catherine.  I was feeling with Freya also.  So disgusted by that bunch.  What a bunch of deluded morons.

And Trump.... he can't even spell HONOR.  Cruz personifies it.

Well seems either I prepared a comment and didn't get to post or the moderator deleted it quickly.

But here's a comment I posted on the adult topic about the convention.

I had some work I had to do with Photos on Photoshop for my church and a cancer fundraiser so wasn't able to follow this thread until after I finished.  I was able to hear most of the speeches either in person or after I recoded them.

I am impressed with the convention, have been impressed with Donald Trump for some time and with how the moderators won't let the disrupters to ruin this thread.

I also intend to run through the alternate thread but don't have positive expectations.  So far I see that crowd as a bunch of whiney cry babies.  I hope this comment doesn't get me chastised as it's not intended for one person but a crowd of people who seem to practice group think.

42 pages of bitching and whining is unbelievable and I imagine this post disappears also.

Trump supporters are the absolute MASTERS of bullshitte and projection and assert all kinds of facts that are never so.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Another cheeto worshiper it sounds like. I'll just add to my ignore list. It is attitudes like this that split the party and allowed the vulgar porn wing to win the nomination.

So proud of Cruz tonight. He did everything he set out to do. First and foremost like Cruz promised earlier, he was God first, Family second, and party third.

He honored God in how he handled himself tonight. He defended his family by not endorsing Trump who unjustly attacked his family (and Cruz). He was humble in pointing out the things he and Trump held in common like Trump's pledge to building a wall and vetting immigrants better. That was a compliment to Trump that was NOT forced.

Like I said, so very proud of my Cruz tonight. He stands 10 feet tall to me now.

I'm proud to say that Ted Cruz was the first (and so far only) political candidate I have ever given a donation. Cruz 2020!

Soooo...Mrs. Trump has always liked Michelle Obama.  That should set off even more red flags about this liberal NYC-bred family...

That was my take as well.  Doesn't seem to matter to Trump supporters though.  He's gonna build a wall.

Received an email from a friend that I heretofor thought had some sense that was ranting about Ted's "Me! Me! Me! It's all about ME!" speech. 

These people have lost all contact with reality

Cruz booed offstage after talking about the importance of principle. Eric Trump, who donated $10,000 to Schumer, followed him.

Priceless

I will be loyal to the party, if this is what people want to say they are not, per whomever the party nominates, Romney or whomever, it should be seen for that.

The Party is not loyal to you.  The Rule committee just voted to give even more power to the RNC Chairman at the expense of the grass roots.  Take a guess which side Trump delegates sided with.

We don't see Trump supporters continually demeaning Cruz; so that is what must be class.

Put down the lighter and step away from the crack pipe NOW!

Ted Cruz did endorse trump.

Ted laid out what a Conservative will fight for... now lets see if Trump can live up to the endorsement. And that folks.. is the masterstroke.
It is all upon trump.... to gain the endorsement Ted gave.

Correctamundo!
