Oh, yeah, Cruz is the conservative, Trump is the liberal, why was Cruz so buddy buddy with Trump for all of that time.

I'm sorry, do you need it explained to you yet again?

Oh yeah, you're a Trump Supporter.

I give Cruz a 14 out of a possible 10.

With 4 style points and seven gold leaf clusters.

And sparkles.  And stuff.

Remember. Dont stay home in November. And vote UP and down the ticket.

100x's  :amen:

What a great speech. This is a great moment for conservatives. No one will speak as well and when Trump speaks everyone will remember the booing New Yorkers trying to drown out the man we should have nominated.

He began his speech congratulating Trump   He did not endorse   I think that was the right decision and one heck of a speech   It was very Petty of Trump to interrupt the speech but totally in character

Yep, totally in character!  What a low-life creep!

Ted Cruz was AWESOME!!  CLASS ACT!
TX should be proud!

I muted Eric Trump.

Trump gave just the speech I said he would!

Brilliant, and it was just the sort of thing that could unite the party -  that is, if the Trumpsters would let it. 

Why can't they lance the boil, even in victory?

I don't hear Trumpsters calling Ted the Olive Skinned Babboon or whatever.

No, the hate from some quarters is the division;

Trump stood up for the police, secured borders, the problem isn't with him, he just ran for the nomination and won.

"Trump people are rude and crude. Even the orange baboon upstaged Cruz. Cruz should come out tomorrow and endorse the constitution party."

That's bunk, the Cruzers have been bullies making means pirited personal attacks on others but cry when the website owner told them off.  They can get off their high horses, it looks like their campaign got pretty dirty to with all of those mailers that looked official and so on.

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out, loyalty is another thing, Trump won the Evangelical South, people don't want to deal with facts. Cruz was buddy buddy with Trump to for the longest time.

Trump won on the votes of liberal democrats, because Hillary had her race in the bag.

Because it is the party convention and it is what they are selling. People need to really start looking at this whole thing as a business- they are selling you a product, and that product isn't the candidate- the candidate is the marketing gimmick to them, like Ronald McDonald. No, what they are selling is you giving them continued power. They are going to always set up the false dichotomy where you either choose them or you are choosing (or you are) evil. In the Coke versus Pepsi war, you never hear them talking about Dr. Pepper. They can't let people realize there are other options that may fit closer to their values.

The Democrats will do the exact same thing, only in reverse. And both will continue to sell you their power to keep them in business and they'll keep putting up characters as marketing gimmicks.

The two major political parties are as big of business as the largest Fortune 500 companies in the country, and what they sell is emotional connections to them.

EXACTLY right!  :beer:  :patriot:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Oh yeah, you're a Trump Supporter.

No personal attacks, what part of that do you not understand. I'm loyal to the party, if someone wants to say "lesser of two evils" so be it, but I'm loyal.

Cruzers say I'll put you on ignore and you can put me on ignore, no, I'm not a Trump supporter, is your argument so weak, you have to resort to name calling?

I think the website owner has nothing to be ashamed of in addressing the gutteral bullying by the Cruzers, Cruz who was buddy buddy with Trump until the beneficial relationship didn't work.

Oh, now the Cruzers are decrying about class. Aw.  Do they have any toilet paper images to post displaying their classiness?

Remember when the Democrats booed God in the pledge of allegiance four years ago?

Obviously this doesn't rise to that level, but Republicans booing the statement to 'Vote for the Constitution' is in some ways, a similar watershed moment.

When the Democrats booed God, it sent a message to Christians (and others of religious faith or who believe in religious freedom and our history) about the party's direction.

Now, when Republicans booed the Constitution, it is sending a similar message to Conservatives about the party's direction.

All class.  Which is a trait that others can't get next to.

Agree 100%. Cruz is a true statesman.
