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.

After tonight, you expect people to vote for Trump, lol?

Heidi Cruz had to be escorted out by Ken Cuccinelli because Trump's moronic supporters were screaming at her.  He's going to lose, and they can choke on it.

Pence is class, pro-life, has a real record of achievement.  Hoosier
When I was in the service, prostitutes used to use perfume liberally, thinking that it would attract Johns. Trump can spray all the Pence he wants and I will resist temptation.

Just trying to be helpful.  I'm sorry you feel that being called a "Trump Supporter" is a personal attack.  :seeya:

Funny how insulted Trump supporters are at being called Trump supporters.  It's a mental disorder.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the death of the Republican party.

Doing what our conscience demands is a huge portion of what our constitution protects if not the vast majority.

If you're on a jury and and your conscience tells you to acquit a guilty man, you may do so without repercussion. Voting is an obvious duty of conscience.

These Trumpers are showing their utter abandonment of the most basic constitutional principles.

Good. Every one of those suckers' sponsors will get a letter or e-mail threatening that I will cease using their products if they continue to support such drivel.

The chance of Trump spouting off a petulant retort to Cruz tomorrow night is now approximately 1200%. He won't be able to restrain himself.

Tomorrow night?

His twitter thumbs will be sore waaaaaay before then.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Absolutely.....he can't help himself!  He's just like a mob boss.

Its certainly no more or less insulting than being called a Clinton supporter. In a sense they're the same thing.

If you don't vote for Trump you're voting for the woman he's supported for years. :silly:

The Trumpsters just couldn't live with a tacit endorsement. They needed the full Orange Godking obeisance. So they screwed themselves.

Exactly.  Fantom,  Newt and I all saw it the same way.

I am in good company.

Get used to it.

I've been saying this since the first time Trump supporters beat a homeless man because he was Hispanic.  That was within a month of his announcement.

Ted dared Trump to fight for the constitution.

If Trump does , vote Trump.  Dont stay home. 

Vote UP and down the ticket.....

The brilliance is in the ambiguity.

Yes, exactly! It was so beautiful to watch!

America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men.

Wow.  Check out the look on Trump Jr's face there.  If looks could kill.  Looks positively evil.  Anti-Christ in training/in the making, perhaps?  And he's got that same arrogant, upturned Obama chin pose.  Hmmm.....

Trump's children may have jobs but they have a monstrous sense of entitlement.

Trump needs to seal the deal with Cruz.

Cruz is holding out for some kind of commitment to Conservatism that Trump is still unwilling or unable to give.

Well said.

The cultural divide has been exposed.  Trumpeters can not understand that Trump made it impossible for Cruz to give an endorsement.  They were raised differently from the rest of us.  I voted for Kasich but gladly would have supported Cruz.  He is a decent man and he deserved much better than he was given.

I voted for Dole, McCain, Romney, even Ford. They weren't my first choice, but I thought they were decent men even if they were wrong on some issues. I knew before the convention I could never vote for Trump and now I've seen how right I was in my assessment of him.

What you all just witnessed was the courage of a statesman who dared to focus on ideas and principles, and not on personality. Moreover, he did so in defiance of a crowd that he had reason to know would turn hostile upon his refusal to finally bend a knee before their prince, who himself could not restrain the impulse to upstage a defeated rival who would not pay him tribute.
And that, America is the courage, selflessness, and commitment we need in a president.

Not another narcissist.
