Ted Cruz has empathy and guts! Wonderful speech! Now I need to locate our tissues.

Keep praying to Jesus, patriots! You just never know how things are going to shake out.

Good reminder, Mlizzy.

A brilliant speech by the man that I am proud to call "my Senator". He pretty much delivered the speech that I had hoped he would deliver.

Thank you Senator Cruz, I will be glad to vote for you again in two years... wherever on the ballot that I find your name!

Cruz supporters went one step to far, they can call politicians all the names they want.

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

But a good number of Cruz supporters have opened up horrendous personal attacks against people; you do that, you'll hear about it back, I've likewise muted those whose sole contribution seems what has just been described if one pulls a Bolobaby or whatever.

Trump won the South by a sizeable margin, he won all around. I see that. I'm loyal to the party, if one wants to go on about lesser of two evils, don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

The WS owner has nothing to apologize for per the abuse of a good number of Cruz supporters, that's the way it is.

Cruz gave a great soaring speech. Not endorsing Trump was him standing on principle. He's literally the most compelling political figure on either side.

Maybe this is 1976?

Maybe!!

(Too melodramatic for you, Weird....... or are two exclamation points in your acceptable range of emotion?

When Trump loses in a landslide to Hillary, Cruz will be looking mighty good while Donald will be yesterday's news.

A lot of the idiots for Trump are saying that Cruz's career is done. They'd be wrong about that too. Cruz is just getting started.

I suspect that the standing ovation and applause Cruz got when he walked on stage is not setting well with them. Look for more hissy fits and meltdowns from them now.

Personally I believe this sealed Trump's fate. The Cruz supporters WILL NOT support Trump. I admit to being somewhat on the fence. There is no way in hell I will vote for the man now.

Welcome to the club!

I began to have questions about Trump when he came out in support of Planned Parenthood. Everything he's done since then has confirmed that he has no character.
The organized behavior of his supporters tonight just illustrates there is no place for people of character, who believe in concepts such as individual liberty, to stand with them.

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

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

I muted Eric Trump.

FWIW , Eric was a B+ and Donald Jr was only an A.

Not TC territory.

If it's a lie it is.

I supported Cruz over Trump; but the blood sport here is beyond the pale.

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.

Yes, pure conservatives who don't get anything done. Reminds me of a Senator.

Why? When has the party EVER been loyal to you?

Two sources tell me Trump team actively whipped the “boos” at the end of Cruz speech

It was a classic WWF stunt. One wrestler is speaking to a mic as the arch enemy enters the arena whipping te crowd to a frenzy.

Trump is classless bottom feeding scum

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.

Sources say that brilliant speech was "classless?"

Did it not have enough brass and gold plastered all over everything to denote "class?"

Funny thing about all that brass and gold...it's plate, not solid, and likely over plastic, just like the trinkets on the back bar...

Grow up man! Trump dishonored Cruz's family and that is a kind way to say it. Cruz did the honorable thing!

TOS and Trump supporters at their best

I hope Cruz is dead before 2020.

Little Trump just said his father is running for the parents of special needs children...is this before or after he mocks them in his speeches?

Or his late brother's kid that needed funds because of a terminally ill child ... and he cut them out of the family money.

Eh? I heard Cruz's entire speech. Best speech I've heard from a politician in ages. He did not endorse Trump in any way.

This guy wants us to unify under a pro-abortion, corrupt, amoral liberal.

That's all I need to know about him.

(And claims he was for Cruz! Now THAT's a laugh and a half!)

If you advocate voting for Donald Trump, then ipso facto* you are a Trump Supporter.

_{*ipso facto is a phrase from Latin which means "by that very fact or act".}

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove, but if you don't mind getting virtual tomatoes thrown at you, have at it.
