Wow, Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge! I saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway. No big deal!

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

A-HOLES!

But how pitiful that the delegates go along with it like mindless sheep!

God Bless Cruz for his class, integrity, bravery, and honor!

He doesn't think he is smarter than everyone else, he just knows he is smarter than Roger Stone- but that isn't much of a stretch, Stone is on the sub 100 of the chart.

A jar of mayonnaise is smarter than Roger Stone...AND the morons who were braying in the arena tonight.

They don't need our votes, remember?

Since the RNC will probably lie and say Cruz changed his speech, this is the text the RNC sent out at 8:21p.m.

Earlier today there was a tweet or something that the Cruz supporting delegates were not being granted access to the arena for Cruz speech. I'm not sure if that actually was the case, but the seating setup had the Duke l'Orange's finest sitting nearest the stage.

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. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Well I'm tempted to say that the RNC Convention ended for me with Ted Cruz's speech (it would be a good spot to end it...)  but I guess that I'll watch the thread tomorrow to see what kind of train wreck might occur...   :pondering:

Have a good night everyone, and thanks for the great live thread!   :seeya:

Let him speak anyway, after inviting him to speak.

My question is this...why would the Trumpaholics want Cruz's endorsement? After all, they think he's a liar, the devil, an adulter, son of JFK's assassian, a globalist, and in general simply vile. Logic?

SOURCE: RNC threatened negative stories against Cruz if he refused to endorse.
Well, isn't that interesting.  For someone who lost the election and is a "loser", why would the RNC give a rats patooty who he endorses, let alone start attacking him after the fact?  I wonder what they fear? :whistle:

I guess Trump doesn't feel like he's part of the up and down ticket that will defend the Constitution. This is probably where I go into the #NeverTrump category. Cruz attempted to hold Trump's feet to the conservative fire. Trump and his minions don't want that. To me this indicates that neither Trump nor his supporters are interested in conservative values.

My little heart broke the way Ted and Heidi were treated tonight. I almost feel this country doesn't deserve them and those of us who believe should go Galt.

So two days ago Cruz told Trump there would be no endorsement.  Trump cleared Ted's speech...and orchestrated boos against him anyway.


Matt Flegenheimer ‏@mattfleg  42m42 minutes ago
Reminders: Cruz delivered the speech as written and told Trump what was coming himself two days ago, per top aide.

Mark Murray ‏@mmurraypolitics  49m49 minutes ago
Once again, Cruz didn't deviate from the embargoed remarks organizers released before speech -- knew it was coming

Ben Shapiro ‏@benshapiro  29m29 minutes ago
If you clear a speech, you shouldn't whine about it afterward.

Ben Shapiro ‏@benshapiro  25m25 minutes ago
Team Trump knew in advance. They would rather boo Cruz to humiliate him one last time than take a partial win. Vindictive and stupid.

Ben Shapiro ‏@benshapiro  14m14 minutes ago
This isn't about Cruz. It's about the fact that the Trump team is a clown car filled with angry Pennywise sociopaths.

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.
