Cruz RNC Speech

[JimBowie1958]

nope, the cruz voters just learned what a tool Cruz really is. The bark is over and the vote to start. Cruz is done. Maybe one or two dozen love him still, but in reality, those from the left will pick up any idiots who back a loser like Cruz. Change is what is up this year. CHANGE. Not the same old same old. And, that is only Trump. ooopss Bernie was getting there and boom, bye bye..

Isnt it ironic that it is the so-called liberal Hillary Clinton who is defending the status quo Corporate Crony Network system while Trump the Republican moderate conservative who is the Disruptor of that system?

It just goes to show you how phony the whole Corporate Crony System has become and will remain till it is thrown out, from the top corner of the attic to the musty basement and the whole kitchen sink.

DESTROY the Multinational Corporate Crony Network and liberate the United States of America from its ruling class!

 

[JimBowie1958]

I did already say that Cruz broke his pledge and that I agree that was the wrong thing to do. I'm only saying that I understand why Cruz did not endorse Trump.

Cruz is hardly responsible for what 'his minions' decide to do. When I talk about Trump or the Trump-bots, I speak of them independently, and everyone else should do the same.

I don't recall Cruz ever attacking Trump's father, and my search didn't result in anything. Even if Cruz did attack his father, Trump outright lied about his.

If Cruz were an insider, he wouldn't be treated as he is, and wouldn't have been treated as he has been through the entirety of the primaries.

Trump was fighting fire with fire and even stated that he did not think that Cruz dad had anything to do with the Kennedy assassination. He was responding to a speech that Teds Dad gave where he said if Trump won the election it would destroy the US and other ridiculous things.

Trump was responding in the vein of 'Well, lets see what horrible things are being said about you, well here is this National Enquirer story that says you were with Lee Harvey Oswald. Why isnt there any discussion of this? Instead the press wants to discuss the Trump is going to destroy America nonsense.'

Trump: I never thought Cruz's father had anything to do with JFK assassination

 

[JimBowie1958]

So you are FOR harsh gun control measures, but against a voter ID card? Hmm. Interesting.

Once you understand that the left today is in favor of a Venezuela type of strong arm government, it all makes sense.

you mean he just makes it up because he's the internet troll of presidential candidates?

Had I meant that, I would have said that.

But it is no surprise at all that an ideological basket case like yourself can only understand things through your ideological mental filters, so what I said instead morphed into what you transliterated it as.

The two poster children for Crony Capitalism and unbridled ambition.

I am OK with ambition, even unbridled ambition as long as it is still sane. Once it derails into insanity, such ambition is a colossal train wreck.

What disgusts me so much about Ted Cruz now is his rank hypocrisy.

 

[tinydancer]

Oh Trump is actually ecstatic. On the inside. He knew exactly what was in that speech and what wasn't. He knew the endorsement wasn't coming. Everyone on Team Trump knew this. No one was blindsided at all.

Haha. I love their faces. The whole family pulled it off.

You really have to understand that this was a set up by Team Trump. Cruz accepted the speaking engagement at the convention because his ego drove him to it.

Manafort knew that if Cruz endorsed Trump that would be great. If he didn't endorse him it would forever marginalize Cruz and destroy Never Trump for eternity.

It was a win win scenario.

Cruz's political career aspirations for the Presidency are now toast. That was the ultimate goal.

To set this up you see was going to be a win win for Team Trump. Cruz is now the divider. And the Donald?

The unifier. For the Republican Party. Too funny and well played.



It was one of the most audacious and awesomeness of awesomeness political strategy I have witnessed.

1. You believe that shit that they saw Cruz' speech before he gave it? God you are dumb.
2. Cruz was never going to be president. The fact you think he ever stood a chance tells me a lot more than the words you just wrote to me. LOL.

Now tell me how they pre planned Melania's plagiarized speech. Please, tell me that! Every time the unorganized Trump campaign fucks up please give me your right wing spin. I love it!

Pffffft. Yes they saw the speech. Of course they did. Trump had read the speech. Do you really think that Manafort would have allowed a mortal enemy to take the stage on the Wednesday night without knowing what was in that speech?

Oh and Melania's speech wasn't plagiarized in the clinical sense.If anything mosaic plagiarism would be the closest.

I know they had a fall guy (woman) come out and apologize and that put a lid on it. But there was nothing in Michelle Obama's speech that was cribbed that hasn't been out there like general phrases "your word is your bond".

Michelle didn't make up that phrase or "you work hard for what you get" or "show people respect" for crying out loud. Hence no clinical plagiarism.

Back to last night. It killed Cruz's career. Adelson wouldn't even let Cruz into his party. He's toast.

Hahahaha!

Do I really think the Trump administration would plagiarize Michelle Obama's speech? No. So nothing surprises me about this haphazard campaign.

Why was his mortal enemy even there? Who invited him? Doesn't Trump or the GOP have a say in who speaks? Of course Donald has the power to say you aren't going on. This is spin at it's finest. Damage control! LOL.

They must have known this was going to happen. Yea right. LOL. That's why security had to quickly get Mrs. Cruz the fuck out of there before Trumps rabid supporters tore her limb from limb.

"Clinical plagiarism?" So fucking funny. You republicans put the liar in plagiarism.

What damage control? Silly person. This was a set up and it was brilliant for the Trump camp because it was a win win. Here's from left wing CNN with an excellent take on what occurred last night.

Oh and I'm completely correct that the whole Trump camp knew in advance that Cruz would not endorse him. I will accept an apology.

"Jason Johnson, Cruz's chief strategist for his 2016 campaign, tweeted that Trump had even more notice that the Texas senator wouldn't be endorsing him. "Cruz told Trump directly two days ago," he said.|

Told ya!

Now. First up. The staging.

"And then, Trump's counter: Near the end of Cruz's speech, Trump arrived at the arena -- knowing that television cameras would cut away from Cruz and focus on him, allowing for one final jab at the man he branded "Lyin' Ted" during the primaries.

Cruz's career will never be the same again. The convention floor briefly devolved into chaos following his remarks. Cruz's wife, Heidi, was escorted off the floor as hecklers shouted "Goldman Sachs!" -- a reminder of where she works. "

Now the CNN analysis of this epic flame out.

"Cruz knew he was making a long-term wager -- but he might have lost some important friends in the process.

He was turned away from mega-donor Sheldon Adelson's suite after the episode, three sources told CNN. Cruz's Virginia campaign chairman, Richard Black, said he's "doubtful I would do that again," referring to his future support of the senator.

"In the end, each individual has a duty to the nation that transcends the duty to yourself, and that's where I think he failed," Black said.

Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Michigan, called it a "mistake," though he thought Trump shouldn't have given Cruz a prime speaking slot without a guarantee of an endorsement.

Hillary Clinton won't help Cruz escape turncoat accusations. She tweeted the phrase he'd uttered to set off boos -- "Vote your conscience" -- with a link to her website.

And.....

Trump goaded Cruz on Twitter after the speech, writing: "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!"



And this shows you that the Trump's absolutely were scripted on how they were going to handle this.

"But the real show of family force came as the crowd turned on Cruz.
Three types of Republicans at the RNC
The Trump children largely ignored the early portions of the Texas senator's remarks -- remaining stoic, knowing what was to come.

Midway through, the four children shifted in their five chairs -- leaving one open in the middle. It was for their father, who was set to enter the arena.

Together, the five delivered Cruz a cold stare-down -- riling up the crowd even more as boos drowned Cruz out."

Ted Cruz at Republican convention: Takeaways from wild night - CNNPolitics.com

You know what? Maybe you are right. They didn't have enough for 4 days of entertainment and maybe this was to fill some time.

It was a kick ass set up if I've ever seen one. Cruz let his ego get in the way and he can kiss any dreams of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue good bye.

Funny but if it weren't for Trump he was your number one guy. But don't worry. He's only beloved in right wing wacko world anyways. No worry about him being a President ever. In fact I wish Trump would have picked that ass clown for VP.

And I love when Republicans trash other Republicans. I'm pinching my nipples as I read your posts.

I love it how Republicans are trying to push Trump as the new hope and change candidate, while stealing the last hope and change presidents entire campaign strategy. Trumps so full of shit its funny. But of course you don't see it.

If he wins god bless. I'm sort of like a brit who didn't vote for brexit but sort of deep down wanted to see what would happen if brexit occurred. Won't be the end of my middle class existence but for many of you it will.

 

[rightwinger]

the move backfired anyway, he is now the boob and the party is united behind Trump. Funny how things work out isn't it?

Cruz has said he would never endorse Trump

Has to do with personal attacks on his wife and father

Why would an endorsement seem sincere

pledge

noun
noun: pledge; plural noun: pledges
a solemn promise or undertaking

"Lyin' Ted", and "Low Energy Jeb" both broke their Pledge. They are LIARS. Their "word" is shit. They are no better than hiLIARy.

so why did he want to speak at the convention, it was the mandatory element to talk. It's why the others weren't there. He got sucked into a trump trick and lost big time, he's washed up bubba.

yep, Cruz' own ego ended his career. I love it. I can't stand the dude. I hate people who talk down to me. It is what he did all the time. speeches instead of answers. good riddance.

Ted, what time is it, (ted says)well you see, you go to Germany and down on the boulevard there is a shop, in that shop the fella there makes cabinets for time pieces, as he.................then the clock is powered and you get a time like now, 7:00pm. Yep tired of all that.
