You need the Trumpster's secret decoder ring to understand it.


How about a little orphan Annie decoder ring like in "A Christmas Story". Instead of saying "drink ovaltine" it says "Vote Trump"

This isn't about Cruz. It's about the fact that the Trump team is a clown car filled with angry Pennywise sociopaths.

I can't quit giggling over that one!

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?
I posted on another thread that if he went on stage and sang the praises of the Donald, and then said, "But he says I am a pathological liar.", would their heads explode?

They don't need no steenking logic, they are blinded by the spray tan!

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.

Let him speak anyway, after inviting him to speak. 

"I'm gonna give him one more chance.  One more chance to kneel before me.  And if he doesn't, I'll go straight to tweeter and make fun of him for it!" 

Whaddamaroon.


That tweet is still on his feed, I'm reading the responses to it now.  A lot of people are pretty dang witty...

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.

@CatherineofAragon  you should see the comments on the news web pages about Sen Cruz. I've never seen such vile things said in my life. People really are drinking the koolade and Loving Donald like he is our Saviour.

I think IMHO start reading Gibbons now. Between O, Donald and Hillary, this great country is going to fall for all the exact reasons Rome did. We didn't learn anything from history. We need a man or woman with the values and intelligence of Sen Cruz.

Not if my life depended on it!

Are the zombies over there furious that Ted Cruz remained honorable and did not endorse the evil one.

He gave a great speech though and did urge people to vote ... I may just write in Ted Cruz.

They don't need our votes, remember?

And aren't getting mine, either!

Trump 'let him speak'... what a guy.  He probably thought Ted Cruz would cave.  Not happenin', baby.

Tonight was a watermark of the kind that only comes around once every 30, 40, 50 years.

I do not believe anything will be the same, politically. I know it won't with me.

I'm seriously considering leaving the Republican Party completely after tonight and changing my registration to independent.  Thing is, I won't be able to vote in the primary in my state if I do that.  I am SO DISGUSTED with the GOP right now though.

I officially went #NeverTrump tonight after Trump's tweet about Cruz not honoring his pledge. He could have said that he was the guy Cruz was talking about in his speech. Gingrich tried to do that for him. Trump can't do it.

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:

Because they're petty anal orifices and they despise Cruz so much they'll do anything to humiliate him.

I've waited until Trump was the official nominee. Now that I and the Republican party have little in common anymore I'm changing to independent. And that's after being a Republican for 36 years and never missing an election.

Disappointed in Trump for putting out that tweet about Cruz.

Took Cruz's implied endorsement way too hard, especially with Newt's commentary.

Still will vote for Trump.  After all, as a realist, I expect this stuff from Trump.

Just watched Ingraham's speech.  She is silly, I remember on her show, she claimed Cruz was losing his leverage to become Trump's VP.

And yet...

There she is, DEMANDING that Cruz endorse at the convention-- which he still could explicitly.


Guess Cruz has a little more leverage than the 'conservative media complex' wanted to admit.

The election is 109 days away, and Trump is still bashing Ted Cruz.

Bashing Democrats?  Not so much.

Trump continues to disappoint.  I keep searching for a sign that he is ready to become an adult and step into a role of leadership, but the days continue to pass with unforced error after unforced error.
