Ted Cruz and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump started the 2016 presidential primary fast friends — but their political alliance quickly descended into a fierce rivalry.
Cruz’s supporters have spent the Republican National Convention attempting a coup designed to give Cruz the nomination, and trying to force through rules changes for Cruz’s long-term benefit.
Now, with Cruz set to deliver a speech today, some are left wondering — will Cruz put aside his own political ambitions, heed calls for party unity, and formally endorse Trump on the big stage?
Not likely, according to political experts, who have hinted that Cruz may instead have a last-minute ambush planned to embarrass Trump in front of a national audience.
The conservative senator repeatedly clashed with Trump during a bitter primary fight, with the New York billionaire repeatedly mocking the lawmaker as “Lyin’ Ted.”
If rumors are true, Cruz has his own mockery planned.
With an eye toward 2020, early reports indicate that Cruz’s team drafted his convention speech to focus on adherence to the Constitution, with some political backhands at Trump thrown in.
Cruz has not endorsed Trump despite pleas for party unity from the campaign and party officials. Nor is he expected to in his speech, the senator’s aides admit.
And Cruz’s refusal to endorse Trump will be the biggest story line to come out of Cruz’s speech, no matter what else he says.
Cruz only seems interested in setting himself up for another future run at president.
Paul Manafort, Trump’s top campaign adviser, said Wednesday that he expects Cruz to address “the same kind of issues he talked about in the primaries,” adding that his message will be “consistent with what Mr. Trump is talking about.”
Manafort’s words, however, suggested that relations between the two camps remain chilly.
Before Trump even accepts the nomination, Cruz’s supporters as well as critics say undercurrents in Cleveland are emboldening the senator’s band of believers and stoking his 2020 prospects, should Trump lose in November.
So what Cruz says Wednesday during his prime-time convention speech will be closely watched for clues about his presidential aspirations.
Cruz halted his campaign two months ago, having outlasted all but Trump in a field that once numbered 17 candidates. He finished a distant second in the delegate accumulation during the Republican nominating campaign.
His supporters clung to hope that that the convention would adopt rules that would free delegates to disregard the results of state contests and swing behind Cruz at the 11th hour. That hope was quickly dashed in opening-day proceedings.
Easily spotted in their cowboy hats and Lone Star flag shirts, dozens of Texas delegates shouted their objection when the push to change the rules was declared defeated in a voice vote that sounded close to those in the hall. An effort to have the vote recorded also failed, leaving anti-Trump Republicans feeling mistreated.
“There isn’t a Band-Aid big enough” to heal the hurt that erupted Monday, said Cruz supporter Ivette Lozano of Dallas. But she seemingly admitted she and other Cruz supporters were looking ahead to a Trump defeat.
“The plan is 2020, and we have an opportunity to do that,” said Lozano, a family practice physician.
Besides his prime-time speech, Cruz plans to hold a delegate appreciation event Wednesday, and address the Texas delegation Thursday.
Ron Kaufman, a Republican national committeeman from Massachusetts, said the flare-up over rules was choreographed to demonstrate public support for Cruz and preserve his future. “These votes had nothing to do with Trump,” he said. “This is all about Ted Cruz trying to make the party smaller.”
By smaller, he meant that Cruz supporters were pushing for primaries where only registered Republicans can participate. Cruz was more successful in such contests than in ones also open to voters who aren’t registered Republicans.
Cruz’s closest aides appear to be anticipating another run, considering how they are staying in his immediate orbit.
Former campaign manager Jeff Roe and data guru Chris Wilson formed a firm in part to provide a home for the expansive Republican database the campaign built over the last year. Senior campaign strategist David Polyasnky has been named chief of staff to Cruz’s Senate office.

The deal is sealed. Trump is the nominee. His son talked like Democrats USED to 40 or 50 years ago. Getting people back to work and having a strong nation. I’m a Democrat and my whole family and self are voting for Trump in November.
I would expect all far left liberal Democrats to vote for Trump. They are his base of supporters.
You’re an idiot. Those are Bernie’s base. Trump don’t need Bernies sloppy seconds
Oh yes the ol’Oaf does need Bernie’s slooppy seconds because he’s not getting we ‘constitutional conservatives’. In fact, he made it clear he doesn’t need us ………… so hey, I will oblige the Oaf !
Some of you Republican’s are Reptards, Vote for Trump Ass wipes, or just put that lying treasonous bit cheaper in office !!! Now what do that say about you?
Sen Humphrey:
Any one who tries to over rule the will of the people is anti democracy and does not qualify as a supporter of the Constitution. The anti democracy elitists are unfit for office or any position in the GOP including that of a delegate. That includes the likes of you.
dont know why you think anyone cares whether you vote or not-as a cruzbot we intelligent patriots expect you to stay under your rock until 2024
You know I am really getting tired of hearing from the Cruz sour grapes crowd of which you must be a member. Even your 11th hour attempts to force rules changes failed miserably. Face it the delegate count stands at 1,725 Trump/Cruz 400 an some odd. That is a clear and obvious loss despite Cruz trying to steal votes in Iowa. Face it, your boy lost and lost big time, the American voters have spoken and it clearly indicates their disagreement with your sentiments.
Now let’s add to that, that Cruz has no honor or respect for the RNC or the American people for that matter, being that he signed a pledge to support the eventual party nominee. Well Trump is now the official nominee and I still haven’t heard Cruz issue his support for the nominee he pledged to support. As much as he feels his loss is unfair to him, Trump won fair and square despite the Cruz shenanigans up to and including the Convention, we all know what transpired. It’s time for Cruz to swallow his damaged pride and accept the fact he lost.
Perhaps had he been more honest, and not attempted to “STEAL” votes he might have stood a better chance, but he didn’t do that. This article states that Cruz will now go about setting his sights towards 2020, and he is free to move in that direction. However, America will remember in 4 years that he failed to live up to his pledge to the party, his fellow candidates, and the American people. Cruz has one chance to redeem himself, that is how he presents himself tonight at the convention, any indication of him still harboring animosity for his loss will kill any political aspirations beyond a Senator from Texas. It’s time Cruz man up and put his big boy pants on, go out on stage and back Trump, anything less will render his aspirations for the future mute.
His major mistake in all this is that he allowed his pride get in the way of what is best for America, this alone speaks volumes of his character. This coupled with his vote sealing in Iowa, his failure to live up to his pledge, and his continued efforts to torpedo Trumps campaign has exposed his true colors. American have endured nearly 8 years of a petulant childish president, do we really need another?
You sound like that loud mouth CRUZ.
Ken, think you better go back to grade school
You just promised to vote for Hillary. That will get you a minimum of two Supreme Court Justices placed by her. They will be so liberal, you won’t have to worry about the Bernie movement. They will have the power to saddle your conservative heros with Liberal bench rulings that will dog them for 50 years! Smart move.Gordon.
Jerry you really must stop allowing the readers to witness your random ignorance. PLEASE think BEFORE you write.
Trumps supporters are not leftist Democrats. Most are conservative Republicans. ‘
I agree with you —lots of conservative Republicans and those who can actually see where this country is headed will vote for Trump. Our country is headed for a fall that it will never recover from if someone or something is not done to turn it around. I for one can not understand why people are so blind to see that our country is in very bad shape—-look at the debt—look at the division—look at the hate crimes—-look at the destruction of towns and the disrespect for human life—no matter what color! What will be the future of our children and grandchildren—look at what we will be leaving them!
Carol,
You are 100% correct. If Trump doesn’t win in Nov the US is over
Carol, it is hard for those of us who (still) use our heads to think how come so many are blind to reality around them. I think that the latest absolutely insane craze of Pokeman (sp ?) that make people walk off cliffs while they are chasing some imaginary monsters is an awesome illustration of how crazy people have become. Common sense is being taught out of our children in schools, with system of schooling that has very little to do with how we used to learn. “Top heavy” all in the technology world, so many don’t even know how to slice bread – they buy it sliced.
I find that the most patriotic thing I can do right now is at every opportunity in a lighthearted way bring logic into various situations and issues. Using fun, and exaggeration seems to still help people to finally connect with reality of situations.
Since you mention respect for people of all colors – it is amazing how people of color tried to demand “affirmative action” in Oscar Awards. Hm, not enough black people nominated.
Percentage wise there are still fewer black people in the nation than Caucasions. Yes, it is true, yet in LA there are more than 50% of people of color. Does it mean we just simply nominate people for Oscar BASED on their color ? – You see, the insanity of trying to adopt various “formulas” is one of the problems we face.
Being able to get some common sense ability to as many of us as possible, while keeping our hearts able to feel compassion, and sense of values, does not cost anything, requires no laws introduced, no buildings to be built…And it helps – hugely.
Remember one thing. The voters have a long memory and if Cruz pulls any more BS during the convention, I can pretty much assure you that his chances in 2012 will be no better than this election. I, for one, will never back Cruz if he can not graciously accept Mr. Trump as the parties nominee. If any of the never Trump group thinks I am the only one that will not support Ted in 2012, they are delusional. He is either a Republican, (which he claims to be) a Democrat or an Independent. Which one are you Ted? If you don’t throw your support behind the nominee, then we can safely rule out that you are a republican or a conservative!
I agree 100% of what you said we need a change and I believe trump can do it
We whould all take the (R) and the (D) out of our affiliations and replace it with an (A) for American. Havilg Hillary Clinton win that election is like removing the Bald Eagle from the cpitol and replacing it with a Vulture
I was democrat and now I’m with you ! This county is a mess
; I’m with trump !!!
And ALL life’s Matter
Carol: U did’t bother to mention the total Republican blockade in Congress that did not allow anything to get done.
Ditto !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carol, I believe I have an answer. As long as we the tax payers have those
lucrative safety net,s which are easy to obtain, those people will not see it.. .
There are many hidden problems that will turn us into Venezuela, like our corrupt establishment causing us to lose our reserve currency status – the cause of all empires to crash. Trump is our only hope because he understands money and business and has the cajones to do something about it.
CAROL, & DENNIS GREAT LETTERS TO US. YOU BOTH ARE SO RIGGHT AD I THINK YOU SAID IT FOR ALL OF US. OBAMA HAS MADE A MESS OF OUR COUNTRY AND LOOKS LIKE HE DID IT ON PURPOSE AND NOW HE IS TELLING US TRUMP IS NOT GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY AND HE IS SO WRONG. THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US ALL
You are very correct. I know plenty of Libertarians also supporting trump and they are so hard pressed to ever vote democrat
I’m a Libertarian my vote is for Trump 2016 !!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with Carol’s comment
” If Trump doesn’t win in Nov the US is over”
Are Ed & Robin sure that they mean “2012”?
HA! research the demographics…
Trump in a landslide, that’s if the ballet box is not rigged by the libturds
I was in the original Tea Party and the folks that are supporting Trump are the same type of people I met at Tea Party events. They love their country, are sensible thinkers and not blindly partisan. It is the corrupt media that painted the Tea Party movement as racist, women haters and rednecks and they are doing the same thing now with those who choose Trump. I am none of those things in any way nor were the people I visited with at those events. It is dangerous to even have a sign in your front yard supporting Trump because the media have defined us that way. My Trump signs were stolen and tore up with the remains scattered up my street. My car was also egged a few days before the signs were stolen and destroyed. I feel like I got off easy and was told by others that I was brave to even have signs in my yard in the first place. So much for free speech and expression of Ideas in the Democrat/Obama/Clinton Amerika. Godspeed Mr. Trump!
I ordered gear from Trump. One thing they are throwing in is bumper stickers. I am almost afraid to put on my car. Never in the past has this fear happened.
Moshe, the progressives like the freedom of speech, but only their own. The anarchist you see in The streets parading around against trump (black lives matter) are backed by Marxists like soros, who also funds move on and a dozen other evil empires designed to bring America down. I would repost my signs with a warning I have a gun. Bet those signs would be just fine where they are if you did that. It is always the progressive loons that start the trouble, with the pro Marxists media leading the parade. Stand your ground Moshe, remember, the GOD OF Abraham, Issac and Jacob will fight for you. HE will never leave his chosen. As the bridge to HIM, JESUS, allows a gentile like me in on the fruits promised by the Almighty to His chosen people. Stay strong my friend
We have had Trump Bumper Stickers on both the front and rear of our cars since the primaries began. While I have had a sign stolen from my front yard (Don’t know what became of it) I have several others to replace them with! Do NOT allow the libtards to dictate your rights under the constitution! If you do, all is lost!
TRUMP 2016!
My wife and I both have Trump stickers on the front as well as the back of our cars. We have had them and Trump signs since the primaries began. Our cars haven’t been messed with and we had one sign stolen from the front of the house. We have several signs to replace them with! All I can tell you is “DO NOT, under any circumstances, allow the liberals to dictate to you and deny you your right to freedom of speech. If you succumb to their treachery, all is lost!
TRUMP 2016!
Moshe : Tea baggers, really. What did it get them?
Bumper stickers don’t mean a damn thing , what’s going to matter is your vote !!!!!!
VOTE TRUMP /PENCE NOV. 8 IN A LANDSIDE AND BRING AMERICA BACK
TO IT’S GREATNESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its really disgusting whats happening in this country,i have a grandson whos two and my heart just breaks for his future,i was reading a story yesterday about a child in preschool and they were teaching him about anal sex,homosexuality,trans and homosexual marriage,the parents found out and said something and the school threw the little boy out. Parents you better know what your kids are being taught,school is not supposed to be about learning perversion and islam. We had better take this country back and get it right this time or this country is totally done
Conservative Republicans aren’t for Trump???? What have you been smoking??? As far as being a Conservative, they don’t come much more Conservative than me. I’m a 42 year member of The John Birch Society, an original TEA Party member. I am against illegal immigrants, against amnesty for them, against Islamic terrorism, and admitting them into the US, against TPP and TTIP, in favor of the US leaving the UN and the UN leaving the US, against a national police force, against Common Core and the federal takeover of education just to name a few. I am in favor of local control of police, securing our borders, local control of school districts, fair trade, not free trade, deportation of ALL illegals and loss of so-called citizenship for any anchor babies, strict adherence to the US Constitution by our federal government and a SCOTUS that will enforce that compliance. I defy anyone to say that I am not a Conservative and I have supported Donald Trump from the very beginning.
Darl Kretsinger CTCM (ret.)
Great post Darl!!! I second your sentiments 110%. I am 64 years old, am and have always been a Conservative/Nationalist, and have supported Trump from nearly the day he announced. If he succeeds in accomplishing 25% of what he claims I will be a very happy man.
Trump/Pence 2016 -2020
I’m a TEA BAGGER with you 100%. We have have told these idiots for 8 yrs.
I too am a conservative republican voting for Trump!
Here, Here !!! me too !!
Cruz is a pussy! If he thinks this helps for a future run for office, he is sadly mistaken! Will vote any other republican over him!
Right on! Cruz believes his Goldman Sachs money entitles him to behavior a 3-year old. would be ashamed of! America was shocked to realize this un-classy person, who stoops as Cruz has stooped, is running loose.: Forget the details such as he was not born in America and has no legitimate right to run for President of the United States. But that is not what is unsavory about him There is another fact that youngsters have little knowledge of:~ Goldman Sachs was in deep trouble for lying and theft some years ago. An official, Timothy Gietner (sp?) , was set to be indicted, but money made him Secretary of the Treasury! God bless America! The most hopeless slaves are those of us who do not know they are slaves. GO TRUMP!
Trump needs all kinds of supporters. So lets have hillary bernie, cruz, everybody else’s supporters so that Trump wins and we get rid of Establishment in both parties.
Hellary has so much dirt on so many in gov’t. that it will take a lot to get rid of her. If she goes down a lot of others at the very top will go with her—- just look at the e-mail situation for one of many examples..
we can only hope
Very good idea. Tired of these establishment self serving people in Congress.
Left wing liberals will not be the ones.. They don’t have enough common sense..
Trump’s supporters are AMERICANS!!!
I totally agree
You still hanging on to what didn’t happen……Trump is the GOP nominee–Now Get Behind Him or Get Out of the Way !
I’m sure you won’t, but you need to rethink that one!!!
I see that the serpent has slithered from under it’s rock and is trying to entice people with a poisonous polished apple. Can anyone say “The Snake”??
That’s not a very nice thing to say about Ted Cruz. That man does love his country, so he can’t be all bad, certainly not a snake. I think it’s high time Republicans quit trying to destroy each other. There’s enough bad mouthing provided by the Democrats. Republicans need to act more like family. Family members don’t always agree on everything, but they are always cognizant of one thing, that they are a family with a very similar set of bottom line beliefs and goals. They might all have different ideas on how to get there, but after sitting down to the table, they usually can work out a compromise everybody can support. Republicans should support each other.
If Mr. Cruz bad mouths the people’s choice in Donald Trump, he will in fact be insulting all of us who support him…..and we will remember that if he ever entertains the idea of running for office on a ticket we have the chance to vote for. Even in families high treason demands a high price !
Ellen, didn’t you see Cruz usurp the will of Colorado? He used a political tactic to gain the delegates in that state. He didn’t win the vote from the people, he stole it. His supporters tried to change the rules so that delegates would be unbound to vote against not only trump, but the 14 million people that voted for him, should we all be disenfranchised because Ted Cruz wants to be president? Sounds not only self absorbed, narcissistic, self serving. We have has enough John mccains, bitch mcconells, Paul Ryan’s John boehners. Enough Karl roves. We want the progressive Marxists on both sides of the aisle out of American politics. Ellen, please educate yourself, you sound sincere, but totally unimformed
If he works against the people’s choice and refuses to honor his oath, I will never forget
that he is dishonorable, and never vote for him even if he ran for dog catcher.
Sure looking forward to Senator Cruz’ talk today. I think he’ll show true greatness. I wish he had won the nomination, but he didn’t. Lion Ted, I’m one of many with you. Show the party what they could have achieved, what a great man you are. We’re awaiting your wisdom.
Ellen-Ted Cruz. That man does love his country ?
Do you mean, Canada ?
The Cruz “family” members that you speak of have done all they could to to district the family. They want Clinton to win so that their Messiah can rise from the dead and run. These fools thought that Obama would be a one term President as well. Forget it , after one term there will not be a country to save.
Well, it’s the day after lying Ted’s speech and yes boys and girls he did try to pull off his ambush. Hi speech was supposed to last 20 min but he was booed from the stage after 10 min and his wife had to be escorted from the convention center. 2020 ?? not in this life time !!!!
Maybe so. I thought I detected that snake.
Hillary is the snake.
You are exactly right! Ted Cruz is a Lyi’n Snake and those with no discernment or common sense cannot see it! This is a classic example of “MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE”, THANK GOD, MANY OF US DID OUR HOMEWORK ON CRUZ!
Woe is you. Itsy bitzy people whine and cry when they don’t get their way….. BYE BYE
Are you really that stupid? SERIOUSLY, Ted Cruz is a Washington insider puppit, and Marxist. You must like the old guard rinos. You know the type, they say conservative talking points, until it’s time for the vote. Behind close doors( like rubios political commercial showing Cruz with his own mouth saying he supported amnasty). That’s when I did my own research, and switched from Ted the lying Marxist to trump. Further, I will do my own campaigning pong forward in an attempt to see Cruz never wins the nomination. He is a traitor weasel, looks like a rat, bottom lip never seen moves. His wife Heidi is a member of the Marxist think tank council on foreign relations and works for Goldman saks. he says he forgot about the 1 million dollar loan he got from goldman and didn’t report it to the IrS. REALLY? How does a civil servant have enough collateral to secure a loan like that? Or pay the monthly premiums? Then forget to mention it?
Bud you are absolutely right! People will not take the time to do there homework, anybody’s ol’ dog that will run! Therefore STUPID fits them fine! I rest my case!
Cruzbot, sour grapes.
Trump has the right wingers,the leftwingers and the in betweeners. People are fed up!
Jerry’s right. You’re an idiot.
I wonder if democrats run this web. Every time I write anything on Horn, they say it appears I have
already said that, no matter what I say . This is the only web that will not let me say anything.
I just did!
IDIOT!
You have my sympathy, You really can’t fix stupid, can you?
GO TRUMP BUILD THE WALL BAN THE JIHADISTS 2016!!!
Trumps base of supporters are from all walks of life and all parties!! TRUMP IS FOR THE PEOPLE AND A SOVEREIGN AMERICA!
TRUMPS GOAL IS TO STOP THE WASHINGTON GLOBALIST LIKE THE BUSHES AND THEIR PUPPET CRUZ, WHO WANT THEIR NEW WORLD ORDER AT ALL COST! THESE PEOPLE ARE EVIL TO THE CORE AND TRUMP KNOWS UNLESS THEY ARE STOPPED, HIS CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN WILL NOT HAVE A FUTURE, WHICH IS WHY TRUMP IS RISKING HIS LIFE AND THE LIVES OF HIS FAMILY TO STOP THESE VIPERS!
TRUMP/PENCE 2016!
Nonsense but I do expect the Canadian to whine and show he would be unworthy of any support in the future. Trump is needed now because the Supreme Court hangs in the balance.
Clinton election means Liberal decisions from the Supreme Court for your lifetime, a recession or depression when the debt bubble bursts, American jobs vanishing with bad trade deals, a major Islamic terrorist attack-possibly a WMD dirty bomb, further degrading of our military, and a Socialist agenda.
YOUR A VERY INTELLIGENT FAMILY…
Very glad to hear you are voting for Mr. Trump. This the MOST important election in the history of our country.
I agree, I’m voting for Trump all the way.
OH my goodness…there are Democrats with a brain and common sense!
That was the case until the screaming idiots took over the party after Kennedy was assassinated for trying to get rid of the fed and pull out of Vietnam – lady birds income stream.
You very right. Wish more people understood that today.. That is why kids need to understand the truth and not lies for their future republic.
I have a piece of news for you Ken. JFK put us in Viet nam because his family owned “BRIDGEPORT BRASS” who got a Government Contract to make the ammunition for Viet Nam. I am not just guessing, I was in the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, NC when he first committed Special Forces to Viet Nam as advisers. Had he not been assasinated, he would have done what LBJ done in 1965 and escaled the war to send half a million Americans to fight because LBJ owned the company who made heliocopters for the war. That was could have been won in a few weeks, but the hundreds of millions made by Kennedy, Johnson, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Mellon, Vanderbilt, and several others would have disappeared.
What you are saying is we have enemies from within, the point to all, is the notion that we have a 2 party system, how can that be when you have Marxists on both sides of the alisle collaborating with each other? Remember this, it us Americans, against them new world order satanic worshippers that covet United Nations slavery
I can’t deny what you are stating. I know they are still considered an elitist family. The two party duopoly likes to switch out its groomed puppets…
CL – sounds like if your in the 82nd you know all things ?
IMO we were in VN because the Vatican wanted the US there.
I was in the USAF then and flew over VN.
CK your grammar, would help reader.
We welcome you and your family with open arms.
That’s great news
Ted Cruz is young and has a very promising political future. And he is smart enough to understand, any attempt to ambush or sabotage Trump would spell the end of political future.
One very big unexpected perc of a Trump candidacy…it has revealed, shown a very bight light on those among the GOP who put their own self interests before the best interests o the country. People like Kasich, Bush and the many other Republicans who have hinted at, or overtly proclaimed they’d sooner either stay home or vote for Hillary then Trump have exposed themselves as the treasonous elitists who have been undermining and screwing over the voters for many years. We now know exactly who they are and what they are.
Not a Never Trump but a NEVER HILLARY. As urgent as the 2008 and 2012 elections were, 2016 will, beyond any doubt, decide whether we will continue to have a free nation or will our freedoms and liberty be forever lost. It will decide if we will take our nation back and, once again, be regarded as the most powerful and admired countries in the world…or fall helplessly into the despair o a Socialist state.
I agree JJ!
If he does, his political career will be finished. Remember he agreed and signed a pledge along with 16 others that they would support the eventual nominee? Well, as a pastor’s son and supposedly a good Christian, he will put himself on the same level as that lying piece of crap on the other side of the aisle. I don’t care if you consider the whole “pledge thing” to be political theatre, You sign a pledge, you keep your WORD. That goes for the rest of those sell-outs.
Thank you Mike for stating this so crisply. Cruz has a history of slimey behavior in this past primary campaign. I will remember his attack on Dr. Carson’s voter base by having his staff announce that Dr. Cason is quitting. But LYING TED ‘had nothing to do with it”.
Realtors know that if a sales person in a Real Estate office messes up the broker is always included in the blame. But Cruz claims ZERO responsibility for his staff. As a president he would have the same “Let my Benhazi Embassy burn” as Hilary has. No accountability, and all talk, is how I observed Ted to operate.
Trump ripped up his pledge in march. And when Cruz took the pledge noone forsaw that trump would attack Heidi or his father. Or say he wouldn’t rule out nuking Europe. Or saying we can just cancel our debt or just print more money. Etc.
No, ted should not endorse the defective Donny. The Donny with the deep knowledge and expansive vocabulary of a third grader.
Gary Johnson 2016
There are 3 parties on ballot in all 50 states. This is not a 2 party race, no matter how much you wish it was.
Why Theresa, not a bad idea, just need to move the big bulls eye a thousand or so miles to SE. BOOM
Are you talking about this idiot who is worth 10 Billion dollars? I guess that is easy when you start with 1 Million dollars of borrowed money. That is only a Ten Thousand percent increase. Any idiot can do that, right?
Theresa, perhaps you should stick to baking cakes. The hole in the bullshit of never trump, is the alternative. If your uneducated group of moderate clowns that trumps presidency, forget having lying Ted next election cycle, we will have no country should the satanic HILDABITCH gets in, wake the hell up
INCLUDING JEBY AND HIS WAR CRIMINAL BROTHER GEORGE. THANK GOD I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO VOTE FOR HIM AND LOSER ROMNEY.
Amen, Kathy. I agree. Those losers gave us what we have had for the last seven years and it is high time for a GREAT change — with a TRUMP WIN.
CRUZ is burning his bridges. His slimy actions are turning off a lot of people that supported him earlier.
With the sneaky, slime it is a really good thing that he did not become the nominee. He can forget 2020. He is as dirty as Hellary/
Oh, so you finally figured out that the Democrats of old were the Party of SEGREGATION FOREVER, when REPUBLICAN college students marched hand in hand with their fellow black counterparts in Selma. Now Selma is growing anew because of Barack Obama. Let us take a look at the NEW Democrats. As a Student Democrat for a free Society, I know the enemy well, I knew many communists, most all being Professors who NEVER called themselves anything else–except to the “few” LEFT WING VOTING DEMOCRAT PROGRESSIVES. Oh what a long wording for such an old ideology. Chances are you were not into politics. Well, I was radicalized early. Not because of their Communism, but as they bemoaned the fact that the schools were too old fashioned to indoctrinate many, now, my heroes were Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin of the Yippie Movement. Their greatest 15 minutes of fame were being interviewed by reporters asking “what is your price?” Thinking this is a montetary issue, it wasn’t. As they were not being let into the DNC<they said they would put LSD into the city's drinking water! I knew it was a scam, but many did not. As they asked for a permit to have an overnight sleep in at the park Mayor Daly, the last of the old boys mayors correctly said if we give in to this, then they will be asking for much more next time. No, I was in it as I was seeing my girlfriend's older brothers coming home in body bags before their 19th birthdays in an illegal, unconstitutional, and an invasion into Cambodia sealed the deal for me, some of us never stood for the pledge for we were showing what we thought of Nixon. But now, the Democrats, and I know the enemy very well as full fledged communists. Make now mistake about that. Their first goal if Hillary wins? If my Governor's convening a Convention of States as per Article V, and before you naysayers go any further, we would not now have a Bill of Rights if the founders would have listened to those naysayers. And it is the very last thing before we revert back to the Nation of Texas, as we, like the Americans, also have a DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. If counted as a nation, our GDP would come in at 12th, just behind Russia and Canada, besides having our own power gird, more Fortune 500 companies here than anywhere else, 3/4 of all the rest of the US gets it natural gas and oil courtesy of our Lone Star Pipelines. Mayhaps we could put, say a 45% on all that gas and oil? No, just as long as you promise not to move down here, for we have a thriving tourism industry, no strangling regulations and bureaucratic red tape, lowed property taxes, a balanced budget, a full to overflowing Rainy Day fund. Should I go on? The most important issue for the COS should be our Federal Justices, who are merely shadows of the ideology of the president who put them into power. With one law, they make law, which is not their duty to do, for all of us. What is definitely needed are TERM LIMITS of 10 yrs each and they have to be elected just as do the other three separations of power. Because of Scalia's murder, now only one nominee will turn the tide for generations to come and just how free can a country be when one court, 9 people, unelected makes law for the millions of us. As a degreed historian and with a field minor in Historical Research, where I did my Clinician's work for that in the Archives and Documents section in the basement of the Alamo. The Supreme Court has now made social issues of the day their next campaign and they must be stopped at all costs. Already they have made two social issues that have no constitutional rights to be in front of any court..on abortion and gay rights, whatever happened to the will of the majority? I guess that went the day the militia, called into Ohio by its governor…Rockefeller no less and no one has ever been held accountable for the 4 deaths at Kent State, "The Day the War came home." If you look at those students, they were the least vocal of the university students on campus that day. Wanna know why I changed from a Student Democrat for a free Society? Because I saw the con. I saw the lies. But most of all, I saw the unconstitutionality of it all. All of it was no less than anarchy. So, as Churchill said,"If you are not Liberal when young, and Conservative when you are older, than you are not a political animal." What say you? Do you think the SC should be ELECTED and have TERM LIMITS?
The idea of “electing” Supreme Court justices defies logic. In essence, it would overturn the concept of “justice is blind” by overtly politicizing the process. We know that the judicial system has its flaws, but it is, in fact, a good system. When vacancies on the high court occur, such as the death of Scalia, it is crucial that a balance between competing interests be maintained. In the past, the Supreme Court has become overtly political and that must not continue. If Obama does nominate a candidate to replace Scalia, it needs to be stopped. We do not need another Liberal on the bench. What we must aim for, is a BALANCE of competing interests.
Judith, really? Judges are suppose to be fair and impartial. They are to follow the letter of the law, no politics while sitting on that bench. The very nature of them being appointed has the politics already in the mix
Like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, no politics on the bench! She should be impeached for her remarks.
Given the ineptness of the American public or at least 50% of them, how can you expect to seat a judge who stands for the “Letter of the Law” based on their choice! Its not an issue to be made by the American voters, but rather the Congress through the current vetting process, the problem lies with the people confirming a justice. Congress has been infiltrated by agenda driven representatives, this must first be corrected and we return to citizen politicians who’s sole purpose is to serve the American people and do what is right for America. The system as devised by our founders works, provided that our elected are of clear moral conscience!
Same here. Regardless of everything else, Cruz is ineligible to run for POTUS and the majority of voters know it,and will never vote for him.
oldtimey democrat-
Hooray! FINALLY, someone states the obvious – that Cruz is NOT natural-born, ergo is not and NEVER WILL BE qualified for the presidency.(for those who have been living under a rock: Cruz was born to 2 naturalized CANADIAN citizens. At the time Lyin’ Ted was born, his mom had been living in Canada with his dad for FOUR YEARS when Canadian law FORBADE ANYONE to live there 30 days past the expiration of their tourist Visa unless they’d applied for Canadian citizenship; in addition, the Cruz family not only signed up for Canadian healthcare, but VOTED in Canadian elections – things ONLY CANADIANS can do. Because Canadian law at the time ALSO FORBADE DUAL CITIZENSHIP OF ANY KIND, Cruz’s mom had to RENOUNCE HER US CITIZENSHIP to stay there, too. Now that Lyin’ Ted has renounced his Canadian citizenship(as of May 2014), who knows WHAT country he’s a citizen of, because he refuses to release any paperwork proving his US citizenship.)
As to the subject of The Horn article, i saw where Alex Jones stated 2 days ago that the RNC was well-aware of Cruz’s tactic(he also intended to stage a walkout once his speech was over), and that Trump has withdrawn his invitation for Cruz to speak AT ALL.
i hope that is the case. We’ll know before the night’s over.
Further, i expect Cruz to lose his re-election bid, then retire from politics to do what he does best: lick the boots of the Bush crime family, and be a sycophant/toady for the NWO/OWG…just like his insane wife.
I agree with everything you said except for teds citizenship. I am no Ted supporter anymore, he is a Marxists that duped me for awhile. If every service man overseas wife gave birth outside of American shores, we’d have some serious issues with who is American, and not. An American woman’s womb is considered American soil. That is why Cruz is American. His father has also been naturized, has his mother reknownist her citizenship, that would be another story. Unlike the Marxist Obama, his father was a Kenyan national, never applied for American citizenship. That was what disqualified Obama, not where he was born, that was a red herring. We see the results of what the framers tried to exempt. The tyrant from within. Make no mistake, Obama is a Marxist tyrant traitor. He needs to be impeached, then hung for the traitor he is. Mussolini hadnothing compared to the Marxist bastard known as Obama
Bud-
Thanks for your reply.
i agree with your assessment of D’OweBama, except i have heard from his own lips that he is a Muslim. As such, he could not be a Marxist, as Marxism is an atheist political philosophy(denies the very existence of any Supreme Being).
As to Cruz’s mom, here’s the truth:
Before, during, and after Cruz’s birth, Canadian law FORBADE anyone to live there longer than 60 days without applying for Canadian citizenship.
Before, during, and after Cruz’s birth, Canadian law FORBADE DUAL CITIZENSHIP OF ANY KIND.
Both of Cruz’s parents lived in Canada for well over THREE YEARS before Lyin’ Ted was born.
Taking these 3 facts together, it is impossible to believe that Cruz’s mom did NOT renounce her US citizenship.
Ergo, Cruz was born IN Canada to TWO naturalized Canadian citizens – which disqualifies him FOREVER from being either POTUS or VP, IAW Article II, section 1, paragraph 5 of the Constitution for the United States(assuming my memory hasn’t failed me).
Furthermore, i believe that Cruz was COMPLETELY AWARE of his ineligibility BEFORE HE RAN, thereby making him guilty of a constructive FRAUD, for soliciting and taking donations to help him gain an office for which he is completely ineligible; he should be sued, lose, and be required to repay every penny.
I’m a Texan and one time strong Cruz supporter. Now, a reality check: If Cruz will not endorse and support Trump, and indirectly helps Hillary win, then his 20/20 vision is blind. He’ll be lucky to even hold his Senate seat.
Ditto!
IVETTE LOZANO IS A REAL USELESS IDIOT! CRUZ IS DONE HE NEEDS TO GET A JOB! THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH HIM. THE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT HIM & NEVER WILL. THIS LOZANO NEEDS TO SHUT HER MOUTH & GROW UP. SUPPORT TRUMP.
I’m a Texan too and totally agree with you. Endorse Trump and move on.
I was stunned that the millions of American people have become so stupid that they will vote for a Canadian citizen for President. We can only hope that other countries do not send their citizens to run for President in the future.
He is not Canadian.
He is natural born citizen. Its gone through the courts.
Intelligent people who love our america & her constitution vote for Cruz.
Ignorants who fell for Goebbels propaganda vote for trump.
Theresa brex-
He is not Canadian.
Not any more; he renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014.
He is natural born citizen.
…of Canada…
Its gone through the courts.
Name them.
Intelligent people who love our america & her constitution vote for Cruz.
Nonsense. Intelligent people vet candidates to see if they qualify; Cruz does not and never will. How can anyone claim to “love the Constitution” to the point where they MEMORIZE it, yet not adhere to it’s principles? i’ll tell you: the same way that satan memorizes the bible.
Ignorants who fell for Goebbels propaganda vote for trump.
i call bullshit on this clearly insane statement.
Our Constitution requires that our president be a “Natural Born Citizen”. Natural Born Citizen has only one definition: Birth on American soil to TWO U.S. citizens. Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and a non-citizen father. Throughout this election process I have seen numerous posts that attempt to “re-write” the Constitutional definition of Natural Born Citizen. The Founders believed that requiring adherence to this standard would prevent foreign influence from undermining our Constitution and the precepts upon which America was founded. The wisdom of the Founders in requiring Natural Born Citizen, has been amply supported by the current occupant of our White House. Too many voters jumped on the Obama bandwagon in 2007/8 despite the knowledge that only his mother was a U.S. Citizen. His father was a Kenyan citizen. This is why Obama had to “acquire” a Hawaii birth certificate. No matter how intelligent and patriotic Ted Cruz is, he is not a Natural Born Citizen.
Theses really? Your gonna pull the nazi card out? Are you a democrat progressive drone? You sure sound like one. Ted is a Marxist, it is a form of government called totalitarianism, nazis, communists, socialists, dictatorships racists, all come under the umbrella of totalitarian regimes. Since teds political discordance is that of a Marxist, he is a totalitarianism, like the nazi. Get your head out your ass
Judith-
You’re almost correct.
To acquire “natural born” status, one must be born of two US Citizens, but the “on American soil” is not a requirement.
If you google “natural born, first congress, second session,” you’ll eventually find the minutes of Congress and the law they wrote and passed, duly signed by George Washinton; with exceptions for those born prior to the Revolution, all that’s required to be a natural born citizen is that the child be born of TWO US Citizens, and it did NOT MATTER where they were born, either.
As proof, when McCain attempted to run for president, questions were raised about his eligibility because he was NOT born on American soil; he was born in the Panama Canal Zone(i think off-base, too).
In that year(2012, i believe), the Senate issued S511, which CITED the First Congress’ Second Session’s law as proof that McCain WAS eligible, thereby verifying the Law that both parents MUST be Citizens to convey natural-born status(albeit unintentionally, for they never applied that to D’OweBama), AND it didn’t matter WHERE the child was born.
“Damn it”– Here i thought we could send our dumb/dumb Prime Minister down to the U.S.A.to screw up your country as he has done to Canada (Member of “Liberal Good old boys club”) Ohhh well.
If Sen. Cruz tries any Syrian shitte, I hope the whole delegation walks out on him. And they very well should. If he tries to make it about him, he will be DONE politically.
I was a strong supporter of Ted Cruz in this election, but he let his campaign people get him into trouble with some lies and some underhanded actions that cost Cruz the confidence of his supporters. If he plans to run again in 2020 he had better find some better, and honest campaighn people. For this election he needs to support Trump, the people’s choice, like I will. If he cleans up his act I might consider him in 2020. If he does not support Trump in this election he has no chance of ever getting my vote in the future for any office.
I was stunned that the millions of American people have become so stupid that they will vote for a Canadian citizen for President. We can only hope that other countries do not send their citizens to run for President in the future.
Trump is a good man. He may not be a conservative but he’s definitely not liberal. He’s the peoples choice. He represents the American worker. Republicans and Democrats just don’t represent any of us. We needed Trump many years ago.
Ted Cruz and his supporters are assuming that the American public would welcome him as a Republican candidate, certainly not this year and not in 2020.
I voted Democrat for years up until they became the party of a radical maybe 15% of the population. They left me behind long ago and now I vote independent. I have rarely been happy with the slimey RINO republicans that were hand picked for me to vote for but I did it anyway. Now we finally have a real American to vote for who has been beaten down everyday since he announced his intentions to run for President. So far, Trump has beaten the huge liberal media and those traitors from his own party. I could care less about the GOP/RNC, I am voting for the man who I have listened to from day one and his message has never changed. Go Trump!
way too go
Thank you for your vote!
The alternative is Hillary Clinton. How could anyone vote for her? However, if Ted Cruz screws Trump tonight I hope the people of Texas will hold him accountable. I know that I will and will work very hard to defeat him when he runs again.
.
I’m with you Joyce, Ted is a flat out Marxist.
I too agree with Bud and Joyce “Ted is a flat out Marxist” can’t stand him what a poor loser. He was so sure he was going to win he picked his VP what a joke and another thing Cruz is a Canadian citizen.
WHY since they are soooooo happy to accuse Melania of plageurism are they NOT talking about the other wives that did the EXACT same thing INCLUDING michael o’blamo? hmmmmmmm interesting…….I love DOUBLE STANDARDS DON’T YOU?
So what is wrong with plagaurism? Those words spoken were written by a professional writer and not owned by anyone. Most of the words spoken were written from information fed to the writer and I feel quite confident that the words spoken by Melania, were said in all sincerity. Can we say the same thing about Michelle?
What I saw when these words were spoken by Michelle at looked at the overall picture and asked are these the words one man says to another? Is this speech showing love and togetherness made by Michelle sincere? Do they love together—not from the info I have? Was their marriage an arranged marriage? Yes, go to U tube and read about the real Obama and the Michelle Obama, alias Mickel who decided he wanted to be a woman while attending college in Oregon. Obama children, both adopted and they do seem to be loved but doesn’t it make you wonder—with the Obama gender rules, they need no doors, and no privacy in their home. So when we speak of Plagiarism, who cares who said it before, it is what’s in the heart that counts. When we say the pledge of allegiance, are we plagiarizing the words of the Arthur? When we tell our loved ones, I love you—wow! how many times has that been plagiarized. It is the sincerity of what and whom we are speaking to or about.
Glad to hear Main Street’s comments! I was raised as a Democrat but became Independent.
All these sore losers and cry babies like Cruz, Kasich and Jeb are doing is to expose themselves for the self serving slime that they are. They bring shame to their whole party. If their eye is on 2020 shouldn’t they have the intelligence to see that the majority of Republicans (and beyond) voted for Trump and will remember how Cruz has tried to sabotage him?
He reminds of Cyrano de Bergerac a big ego with a big nose and no substance. This is his vengeance against the Republican Party, he couldn’t be president he will take it down….in his mind.
Lola, that is bad example. Cyrano had a big nose but he was a valiant hero, a poet, an intellectual and a true leader of men. If Ted Cruz was like that we would be looking at him as the Republican nominee and Trump would be back with his bankrupt casinos and fraudulent universities.
I’m a democrat too and me and my family are voting for Trump
let Cruz the spoiled little brat throw his barbs in there. It will just clinch it that no one will want a back stabbing spoiled poor loser for president. So he can kiss his 2020 bid good bye.. He couldn’t win most of us wanted Trump and not another mouth piece for the already stagnant government.
thank you
SMART PEOPLE , YES ALL SMART PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR TRUMP.
The United States of American needs some serious help from the “People”. Our voice and our vote must be taken seriously. It time to get back to “Of the people for the people”, “One nation under God”, …”Liberty and justice for all”. I am voting for Trump because it is time to show our government that we are not going to stand for career politicians who do not reflect the majority. Allow us to have religious freedom and freedom of speech again. Help stop those who take away our freedoms. America, please pray about this. Everything the US was built upon…1776….is at risk. May God bless all of us in America.
Thx for confirming. His kids are still members of the Democrat party. And the Republican is its have nominated a democrat for president. Kudos to the Dems ! Brilliant strategy Hillary or The Donald. Win win for liberals!
im voting for trump also, and ive been a democrat for years, we need jobs , safety , and order in this country, or we wont have a county for long, and Hillary wants to bring in thousands of refugees , where are they going to get jobs? or is hillary going to let them get welfare and free homes on are dime, when we Americans are having a hard time are self’s, and those refugees have a habit of raping woman, and acting like animals,
Good for you. You have decided to put country first by voting for Donald J. Trump!
Excellent Main Street. Trump needs to sit Cruz down and not let him speak tonight. Cruz is harboring bitterness and that often results in ugliness.
I agree with you completely. I am a democrat and also voting for Trump.
If Ted Cruz and his political advisors are smart they will back Mr. Trump 100%.
The AMERICAN voting public will determine that Mr. Trump is Presidential enough to qualify to lead our Nation in November 2016.
The Hildabeast may be indicted by then as it seems that there are sooooooooooo many charges that can be levied against her that even those on the Liberal side of the equation will comprehend that she and Billy ( I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN – OR THAT ONE – OR THAT ONE ETC ETC ETC ) have ONLY filling their off shore bank accounts in mind when it comes to dealing with the American public ( their mutual plebeians ).
If I was Mr. trump I would tell those that control Ted’s microphone to watch and listen to what he’s saying. If something doesn’t sound right when Ted is giving his speech and they cut the volume. NO PROBLEM. Escort Ted from the stage and give him the obligatory clap or two and a gentle push and carry on with the festivities.
Hi there I have been watching this election since Mr. Trump first came down the escalator and announced his candidacy . Although not thrilled with all his remarks I certainly could see that he really cared about your USA. He doesn’t have to do this.. He has ample money, and prestige not to mention a beautiful family. In many debates I asked the question.. Why do you continue when the opposition is no nasty? and looking for fault.?. I understood when he said.. he attacked when he was attacked. I am really certain he is the man for the job for your USA. I pray and ask God to continue to bless his journey and ideas. The only thing he could do more of.. and say more is this….THANK YOU GOD FOR THE GIFT OF BEING ABLE TO DO THIS for the USA.. We do not succeed without our Creator. .and I would like to hear him say that our loud. Be blessed with your election
If Cruz doesn’t do right by Mr. Trump No Way, No How will I vote for him in 2020. He professes to be a Spirit Filled Christian if that is the case then he had better do the right thing. This isn’t about Mr. Trump this is about Us and Our Country and what is best for Us and Our Country and We The People decided that Mr. Cruz was not right for Us and Our Country. Period. Those who want to over throw Mr. Trump need to stop being babies and get over it and move on. We have a lot of work to do to get Our Country back in order.
Happy for you. Don’t let the comments persuade your votes. There are always going to be hateful people out there that will never accept change. They would much rather have a proven liar, killer, and criminal in office to continue the worst 8 years of the American people
I used to be a democrat and I’m happy to see there are other intelligent democrats that put their country and families before the stupid parties used to divide us.
Cruz an the other (anti- Trump) people need to realize they lost and now should fall in and back Trump. By not doing so they give Hillary support. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE !
Yes, THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE. And now so do a vast majority of American Voters does too. I do believe that our Government Elites, will find out they are NOT dealing with a ‘yes’ man. HE IS HIS OWN MAN. And remember every promise he has made to the American People. But I believe that the Republicans & Democrats in Congress will try and stop him in anyway they can. I don’t think he will sit and take their crap for long. In a distant way, he reminds me of Harry Truman “The Buck Stops Here.” meaning his Oval office and his Desk! Everyone be fair to Trump, he has a very heavy load ahead of him, let’s give him the chance, and everything will not happen over night, but he is no dummy & even less inclined to be told NO! He is SMART, A NEGOTIATOR, and A TRUE ‘LOVE MY COUNTRY’ MAN
I have a problem believing these promises , if they were true why has Trump not brought back his manufacturing jobs for his clothing line from China and Thailand, if he were honest about wanting to bring industry to the USA let him set an example, until I see that happen I will just look at it as another lie he is telling.
Give him time. He has a full job ahead of him to undo, what the Greedy Life-Time Politicians have been doing for over 50 years. “No Law should be set upon the American People, that doesn’t Apply to those who MAKE THE LAWS.” CONGRESS=TWO TERMS, NOT A DAY MORE.
Good for you. Ted Cruz has shown himself to be untrustworthy. He SIGNED a Pledge and then went back on it. As far as I am concerned, He showed his true colors. He is just another politician that cannot be trusted!
He is part of the NWO establishment just following Obama & Hillary & the rest. Your right, he showed his true colors-just another Politician-can’t be trusted. Personally, I am elated that we are getting a Non-Politician, who is not all about Power, Greed & sell out of our Great Country, and the American Citizens. Most of all our U.S. CONSTITUTION, which is our “safe guard.” I Fear Obama for he is hell bent to full fill his plans of destroying our Country & People before he leaves office. He is a Socialists Communist, full bred in the Islamic terrorists Sharia ideals. He has taken “our tax paying money”, and supporting ISIS, and the Radical Islamic agenda. TO DESTROY AMERICA and ALL WE STAND FOR. If our Congressional Elected men and women had followed their OATH OF OFFICE, and truly REPRESENTED their people at home, Obama would have been tried for Treason and committing Tyranny, several years ago. Instead they did nothing to stop him or Hillary and those who followed their Agenda and Plans, just looked the other way. This is both Democrat & Republicans. Rand Paul, Senator from Kentucky, is the “only one” I saw & heard trying to stop them and standing up for the American People he represented. I am just glad that people started “to wake up”, and see the TRUTH. How anyone could VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON after all the lives “she” has ended, both home and abroad, especially what happened in Benghazi, and violating the classified information on her own private server, is beyond me. But I am content, for now, to leave that in God’s hands. For she will pay! And the rest involved in their acts of Treason against our country, People & our Military. I pray Ambassador Stephens and the Marines killed in Benghazi, will not go in vain. Imprisonment is too good for them, but will suffice. And I too was a Democrat all my life, but would still vote for the person over Party if I felt it was for the best. Now I affiliate myself with neither Party, only the person running for office, if even that at time! The Democrat Party of 50+ years ago, died with JFK, MLK & RFK. All men of Peace that stood for the Best of “WHAT WE COULD DO FOR OUR COUNTRY.”
Cruise are you for Cruise or are you for America? Please help Trump Curise to victory as we need him. We do not need another 4 years of Islam?
Wow really …. JFK would now be a Reagan Democrat ….. imagine just a few decades ago the GOP was non existent …. I actually had 3-5 candidates in the beginning but after the Debate where Cruz on one side and Rubio on the other one jumped up and down with Trump in the middle I banned both of my list. Rubio actually is almost back in my good grace (not as a candidate but as a human been) …. Cruz on the other end I found was small man, non-inclusive and judgmental, self centered … he showed yesterday as being exactly that plus much more …. he is a despicable person who just put a nail in his political coffin… he showed disrespect for other’s time (slot 10 min took over 20 min) to more or less “capture” the audience with HIS yes HIS OWN Agenda (that almost sound like a Democrat) ….even most of the Delegates said it was not right what he did and I’m glad he got booted … he deserved it. Not to forget that he cannot be trusted because he went back on his pledge on top of it all …. and the Trump Org gave him just enough rope to hang himself while appearing to be extending an olive branch …. yes he should have “refused” the invite if he couldn’t live up to his word …. but he couldn’t resist the temptation ….. so sad, he couldn’t be at least a decent person but then again there are 2 more who took the same pledge …. Kasich and Bush …. they look small as well ….. and I used to LIKE Kasich over the years but like Cruz he has become an angry man ….. condescending and many other words I probably should abstain to mention …. and if things work right perhaps NEITHER of these will ever be “re-elected” …. oh BTW I grew up a Socialist in Europe and I switch so to speak when I heard Reagan …. some of the voters Trump brought in were decades Democrats and switched for him … and as one lady said on the floor of the convention “so that means I can’t change my mind or you don’t want my vote” ….. GOP’s be more INCLUSIVE if you want to WIN this Election otherwise there may not be another one …..
Cruz is just as illegal to be potus as obummer.
Nonsense…nine state Supreme Courts disagree with you and so does the Supreme Court who refused to hear a case claiming that he was not a NBC. He is an NBC like every citizen born to American parents.
He was ABSOLUTELY NOT born to American parents. Where have you been that you think his parents were American? Cruz himself admits that his father came from Cuba and never became an american citizen. Neither is his mother, who was a Canadian citizen – that is why he had dual Canadian citizenship and he only took American citizenship when he decided he wanted to run for president. Tells me how smart and educated his supporters are. Maybe you should start doing a little research on your own rather than relying on lame stream media. Believe the supreme court refused to hear the case because the parties bringing the case “were not parties at interest.” Not positive about this, but think it is so. Just like in the Obama cases.
Yes. Ted Cruz looks like the Warner Brothers Cartoon character “Sylvester the Cat” that was always plotting to get Tweetie Bird and always failing. He is not a natural born citizen of the United States and he should be deported.
You are right. I believe that Cruz’s mother was on the voting roles in Alberta. A temporary or non citizen cannot vote. I was resident in Canada but a non citizen, also married to a Canadian and could never vote in Canada. I was allowed to vote in the USA by mail in ballots but never voted in Canada.
Thought teds mother was American, I stand corrected, if that is true, Ted can’t be president.what a relief
Bud-
It’s true that Cruz’s mom WAS an American – but then she moved to Canada to be with her Cuban husband, and they BOTH applied for and got Canadian citizenship at least a couple of years before Lyin’ Ted was born.
Since Canadian law at that time FORBADE dual citizenship, Cruz’s mom was REQUIRED to renounce her US Citizenship in order to remain in Canada as a Canadian citizen.
That’s why Cruz’s birth certificate says he’s a Canadian – a “natural born” Canadian, as it happens.
Apparently, when Cruz’s mom and dad had a disagreement, she went back to the US and never happened to mention that she had renounced her US citizenship, and took 4-yr. old Ted with her to Texas, where he was raised.
In May of 2014, Cruz officially renounced his Canadian citizenship, but refuses to show any documentation of his US Citizenship – probably because THERE AIN’T NONE.
true story
Are you serious?The Supreme Court has been busy trying to destroy the Constitution along with Holy Matrimony.Supreme court is an irrelevance.Cruz,Rubio and Obomber are Constitutionally unqualified to be president.
Please provide a reference to ANY Court that has ruled on Ted Cruz being a natural born citizen of the United States.
No court has ruled on that issue, and I challenge you to provide a link to ANY decision- by a state or Federal court— that says Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen
You are wrong. Name the judges and which courts. The SCOTUS did not reject the case, they merely declared any halfway intelligent person should understand Article II is perfectly clear. Meaning he is not a NBC.
oldtimey democrat-
IIRC, most courts that had Cruz’s eligibility as a question before them declined to hear the case because the plaintiff “lacked standing” to sue – a weaselly way to get out of having to address a hard question, especially when the Bush Crime Family was busily defending this perv.
They did the same with D’OweBama, too; i’m aware of one case brought by an attorney where the court ruled that his suit was “premature” because D’OweBama hadn’t won the election yet, so he refiled after the election but before the swearing-in ceremony, only to be told the same thing – then after he took office, the court ruled that he filed “too late.”
The fix was in, you see.
D’OweBama – widely touted as a “Constitutional Scholar” – counted on Constitutional ignorance by the majority, and stonewalling by the courts on the other.
i believe that the PtB wanted to prove to the world that they could elect an idiot to the presidency – so we got the Shrub.
Then, they wanted to prove that they could elect someone unqualified – so we got D’OweBama.
Now, i believe they plan to outright steal the election for The Liar, and be brazen enough about it that when Americans complain, they’ll be rounded up.
Of course, whoEVER is president will have to deal with the inevitable consequences of the “dollar” crash and the subsequent realization that all their carefully saved paper is now worthless, too. Most D’Uh’MerCans seem to be unaware of what many quite smart people have said repeatedly over the course of human history, but i’ll use Voltaire as the example:
“All paper money returns to it’s intrinsic value, eventually: zero.”
What do you think that those who became completely dependent on the USG will do when their checks stop coming?
This, i believe, is why DHS has been stockpiling billions of rounds of completely illegal hollow-point bullets, and practicing for “domestic unrest.”
Retard
If only nine (9) state supreme courts agreed with Cruz citizenship then what about the other 41 states say. HE IS NOT A NATURAL BORN.
cristoiglesia-
You obviously have done little research on this topic.
i have done much.
i would suggest that you start by googling “natural born, first congress, second session.” There, you’ll find the Truth.
The phrase “natural born” as a qualification for president originated in America with John Jay, first Chief SCOTUS justice. He got the idea from Emmerrich Vattel, who wrote the ponderous tomes entitled “The Law of Nations” approx. 30 years prior to the ratification of the Constitution – and Jay was considered to be the expert on them. Vattel stated then – and SCOTUS REPEATEDLY AFFIRMED in multiple decisions since – that in order for ANYone in ANY country to be considered as a natural born citizen of the country in question, the child MUST be born of TWO citizens of that country.
By continued googling, you’ll find at least 4, perhaps 5 SCOTUS decisions which confirm the LAW made by the second session of the FIRST Congress.
And if you don’t believe THAT, google up S511 from 2012, for when questions were raised about McCain’s eligibility to run for or be president(he was born in the then Panama Canal Zone) the Senate CITED the first congress’ second session LAW(‘cuz congress makes law, you know – it’s their job) to justify McCain’s eligibility, for John was born to TWO US citizens, ergo meeting the qualifications for natural born status to be conveyed.
But i expect you to do what you usually do: close your ears to the truth, and therefore remain enslaved – for Christ said that “He who continues in My Word will know the Truth, and the truth will set you free.” Based on the foregoing, i am certain that those who deny the Truth will remain enslaved to the degree that they have rejected truth.
Eloquently stated, the truth always rings thruth. Your a great American. Thanks for bringing levity and understanding to the fold. God BLESS YOU for your insightful analysis. Cheers
Enough of the nonsense Lyin’ Danny.
The courts have ruled otherwise. Ted Cruz will remain in the Senate fighting for your lying, idiotic ass.
LMAO.Cruz is owned by the ISrael Lobby and others
Ted Cruz will leave the senate, either by choice or lose his reelection bid. But, I doubt he will run again.
I don’t know where all of this Cruz hatred comes from. Maybe some people have their conscious pricked when Ted Cruz openly professes his faith. He has been the target of many slimy websites spewing all sorts of garbage. I know there has been some argument about his parents being citizens, but several judges have ruled that his mother’s citizenship was still intact the few years she relocated to Canada. There has been no Senator fighting Obamas Affordable Care Act harder than Ted Cruz. He fought so hard he angered his Republican Party bosses who were rolling over and not fighting. And now we know that everything he was warning about ObamaCare was truly prophetic. The reward he gets for his stand against Obama is getting slimed from all sides. Ted Cruz is one of the few honorable/honest Senators and Representatives that we have in Washington, D.C. He needs our support-not scorn.
Agreed!! He has stuck his neck out many times for the people in his tenure. Also he is making plans for a reelection campaign.
I watched Ted Cruz on Hannity, recently, and the first words out of his mouth were that “Trump supports and endorses OBAMACARE. Trump had been on Hannity two nights before and went into detail on how he would REPEAL COMPLETELY OBAMACARE, and institute “Health Care Savings Accounts and allow insurance Companies to compete across State Lines, thereby creating competition and lowering insurance rates for everyone. I was extremely disappointed in Hannity for not calling him out on this, as Bill O’Reilly, I think, would have done. Before that, I had always preferred to watch Hannity over O’Reilly. I tried to always watch both, but if I had to miss one, it would be O’Reilly. After that, I would miss Hannity, if I had to miss one. That showed me just what Ted Cruz was, and still is, a no account lying weasel. And, like most of the comments on this article state, he is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.
Arthur-
Perhaps you need to apprise yourself of some facts regarding Cruz and his life.
His dad and his mom lived together in Canada for FOUR YEARS prior to his birth – something ONLY Canadian citizens can do.
At the time Lyin’ Ted was born, Canadian law FORBADE dual citizenship of any kind.
To live in Canada any longer than 30 days past the expiration of a tourist visa, one had to apply for Canadian citizenship and be approved.
Since Canadian law (again) FORBADE dual citizenship during the years his parents and Lyin’ Ted lived there, his US Citizen mom HAD TO HAVE RENOUNCED her US citizenship to be allowed to stay in Canada…as a naturalized Canadian citizen.
Both Cruz parents participated in the Canadian healthcare system – something only Canadian citizens can do.
Both Cruz parents participated in Canadian elections – something only Canadian citizens can do.
Lyin’ Ted Cruz KNEW he was a Canadian citizen, because he RELINQUISHED HIS CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP in May of 2014.
What country he’s a citizen of NOW is unknown, for he REFUSES TO RELEASE any paperwork concerning his US citizenship – probably because when his mom re-entered the US when Lyin’ Ted was 4 years old, she lied and claimed she was still a US citizen…or because THERE IS NO SUCH PAPERWORK.
The apple don’t fall far from the tree.
He’s also been a stooge for the Bush crime family for the entirety of his political career, which means that he’s fully on-board with the NWO/OWG agenda HW spoke of before the UN – which makes him an ENEMY of the United States…he AND his traitorous wife, writing papers for the CFR in praise of eliminating the borders between Canada and Mexico to form a NAU.
It is my sincere hope that Lyin’ Ted loses his re-election bid and gets out of politics permanently, to go do what he does best; lick the boots of the Bush crime family.
denny, is that the only comment you can make? Why not make fun of his looks? Either you like his policies and plans or you do not. You make us all sound stupid when you make unrelated comments like that.
Worse, Cruz was born outside of the USA, so to believe Cruz eligibility story, Obama could have been born in Kenya, and still would have been eligible for the office, wrong.
Amen
Sounds like Ted can’t take it anymore. If he gets his way he will surely give the election to crooked Hillary. He seems to be hoping that Donald loses so he can try again in 20. What he doesn’t seem to realize that by 2020 there will be no country to get elected in if hillary gets her way.
HE WILL BE BOOED OFF OPF THE STAGE….
Mitch McConnell received many boos. Let’s see how Ted Cruz fares in comparison.
Mr Cruz is a smart constitutionalist. He will do what right!
McConnell, Bohener, Ryan, Pelosi and Reid all born from the same liberal RINO Momma. Send them all packin with a one way ticket to nowhere.
Trump ripped up his pledge in march. And when Cruz took the pledge noone forsaw that trump would attack Heidi or his father. Or say he wouldn’t rule out nuking Europe. Or saying we can just cancel our debt or just print more money. Etc.
No, ted should not endorse the defective Donny. The Donny with the deep knowledge and expansive vocabulary of a third grader.
Gary Johnson 2016
There are 3 parties on ballot in all 50 states. This is not a 2 party race, no matter how much you wish it was.
Nor will HiTLIARy give up her post in 2020
AS A TEXAN I AM NOT PROUD OF CRUZ I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM AND ALL HE HAS TO OFFER IS A BIG MOUTH AND WE HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM IN WASHINGTON
Good for you I could not have said it any better.
I’ll wager that you didn’t even vote. Am I right? So which progressive did you vote for if you did vote?
He was one of the few to stand up against Obamacare.be sure and tell us how you like it!! He has done well voting for us in Texas!! At least most consecrative people like him and he was voted one of the Top 10 conservatives in the Senate based on his voting record. The man is brilliant!!Even his liberal law professors say that. His resume is outstanding and his list of awards.if he was so sleepy he would not have been chosen!
They better be ready to cut the mike if Cruz decides to pull any crap !! I don’t trust lying Ted !!
Get your head out of the sand!! The man has plenty of standards! Read his resume sometime and his awards. He would not have won them if he was so sleepy!!
You are EXACTLY RIGHT!! Dr. Carson was right last night when he said, “use your brain”. She would pick 1-4 SCOTUS JUSTICES, all Liberals, dumb down our schools even more, continue to keep the black community under her thumb, Our future generations are at great risk.!! The Clintons are habitual liars and seriously have an addiction to greed, no matter HOW MUCH MONEY they have, it will never be enough. Neither of them have a problem selling out Our Country to satisfy their addiction of $$. Are people really that blind?
If Hillar-Lie wins, it is an endorsement and permission for corruption and she will have green lights all the way going forward with her scandals and crimes. No coming back for America forever.
The Horn’s consistent “fear” of Ted Cruz is rather infantile. They seem more afraid of Cruz than they do of Hillary.
Does the Horn really think that Trump cannot win unless he is able to shame or defame any opponents? Does the Horn really think Trump’s positions are that weak?
Trump can win if he sticks to conservative positions he has espoused to date, but save the criticism for Hillary!
The problem is that Trump is a far left liberal ideologue just like his best friends the Clinton’s. I would not expect Trump to support any conservative principals at all.
If Cruz goes negative against Trump at the convention tonight he will be booed of the stage and his career will be finished, if it isn’t already.
Doug I agree 100%.
It’s time for Cruz to grow a pair and BACK the one guy who can WIN against Hillary.
Otherwise, as you stated, Cruz is DONE in any nationwide future.
Man up, Cruz, and stop whining.
PaulCT — I totally agree with you. Go Trump 2016.
I’ve called it “spiritual warfare in the political arena” for a long time. It’s amazing how many are ready to sell their souls like Saul Alinsky who dedicated his “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer.
We all know who are the top experts on Alinsky tactics – Obama and Clinton.
I really wonder why Cruz is even speaking at the RNC …… he will hurt himself if he gets into his usual “on and on talking” …. Ted just make it nice and quick !
Ted Cruz should not even be allowed to speak.
Exactly. If he is not a uniting force in the election, he would only injure Republican party chance in this coming election.
Trump, being the bigger man & trying to ‘unite’ the party invited Cruz to speak. I heard on Fox News XMRadio that the Trump camp has looked over & approved Cruz’s speach. All we can hope is that Cruz doesn’t go off script in a rant demoralizing & humiliating Trump, his family and others who have come out in support of him(Trump). It’s beyond time for ALL Republicans to come together in support of the GOP nominee. That includes Kasich, who can’t seem to get undies out of wad over his defeat and has even refused to attend the convention in his own state. If Killary gets in the WH we will no longer have a ‘free’ Country.
Trump MUST defeat the witch, Hellary. Cruz needs not to throw a wrench into that process. Should Trump win and not perform well, Cruz could run in 2020 anyway. I am NOT a Trump fan, but I am certainly voting for him. Then I will hope and pray for him to be a fantastic POTUS – as we surely need one. Cruz is a young man, so even 2024 isn’t out of the question – IF he doesn’t sour conservatives on him between now and then.
You are so right. If Cruz goes negative on Trump tonight then I believe Cruz is done and has no hope later.
Surely he has more sense than that. If he does this no one would ever vote for him. That would be giving us Hillary’
I would consider him no better than she.
I guess Ted would like to se e Hillary win the election. Sure looks that way
Jerii Gross — I believe you are correct about Cruz. In my opinion, HE (Cruz) IS equivalent to “The Snake” in the anecdotal story, which we all have heard in the many (very big) rallies for Trump throughout the Primary Campaign. This “Ted guy” is fully capable of engaging in a “double cross.”
Strange . . . Cruz, in my opinion, would had had absolutely ZERO chance of winning the Presidential Election for Republicans, in the event he actually had beaten Trump in the Primaries. Good grief . . . I mean . . .all that posturing . . . and “holier than thou” stuff, really turns people off! Go Trump 2016.
I live in Texas. Cruz can go along with the will of the people or lose my vote forever. Go Trump
AMEN LK ANOTHER TEXAN
This is why people are exhausted by Cruz and GOP types like him, they think not what they can do for the country but what can the country do for them. I know its plagerized but I am ok with it.
Cruz is STILL slimy, too bad, he started out alright, then started his vote stealing shenanigans during the primaries which sealed his fate this year and brought up questions about his “uprightness” for future consideration!
Lyin’ Frankie.
Rock01 is a Cruz troll. Anyone that says anything against Cruz is a liar? Cruz looks like what he is, a weasel, yeah rock I know, lying Martha, lol you are not helping Cruz, if name callers like you are for him and call them liars for saying the truth, I won’t ever vote for Cruz. for anything. If the tables were turned and Cruz got the nomination and Trump refused to bavk him, you would be foaming at the mouth calling Trump a spoiled brat, sour grapes, party divider and worse.
Right on Frank!! Of all the Republican candidates running, he did win the top award for running the sleaziest, corrupt and unethical campaign. The worst thing is all of that time he was saying he was such a great Christian, he is nothing but a FAUX CHRISTIAN.
It is so unprofessional for the people like Cruz, Jeb Bush, Kasich, Paul Ryan and others to act like spoiled brats. Face it – they all LOST the primary voter contests. Can you just see them as sports figures? How about the football team that came in second at the super bowl? What would you think of the second team claiming that they should have won because they know better than the referees? To me it appears that they are part of the one world government advocates who will do anything to stop a candidate who wants to make America Great Again, as opposed to wanting to become a socialized part of the United Nations Government. They will even go to the extent of insuring that Hillary Clinton, the criminal, can be elected instead of the leader of their own party who only wants to improve the United States. They all need to go hide their face in a corner and never take part in government again in their lives.
Nevertheless, Ryan did make a great speech last night showing that he has to support Trump and America and at the same time try and protect his seat in Congress as his opponents apparently is doing better than Ryan for taking over Ryan’s seat in Congress. Again, however, his speech was very good and he stated some very good points, but I did not appreciate his pushing the RNC as those either of the 2 parties in 1 really love America rather than protecting themselves. When the 2 parties in 1 recognize that we ARE and we OWN America, not they, maybe then they can be a way to managing their corporations with we the voters telling them what to do and get them back on track.
Finally i am readin the above comment that says what i am thinkin. We r reminded everyday to work together,but the republicans r not doin what they r preachin. Shame on them, i am so upset of what they r doin against Mr.Trump, r next presideat. If he doesn’t than may God have mercy on us & this country. U republicans that r afraid to vote him in r givin the vote to lier hilary & to her pathetic followers in the white house, u republicans should truly think of ur country, make it better not only for the people that have to survive in it, so, what do u want, be spolief brats that cling to ur imagine dreams with Lucifer, or stand with a person who wants to bring back America as no.1. Please, stop this “witch hunt” on trump. Get on board with us who r votin for Trump and save us from that wicked b…. hiliary. She is the evil one, God help us in this crucial time,WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
Well said –Canadians thought they wanted change from Conservatives so they put in a “Liberal Government and what did they get? The Country went from a budget that was balanced and had a surplus of $10million and change to a Budget spending spree of Over 10 billion dollars plus for each of the next 4 YEARS PLUS and made cuts to every program (military etc’s) raised taxes (carbon tax) ruined the economy of a Province(Alberta) If Americans vote in Killary as Potus you will put your country in the same sinking Boat as your Northern Neighbors,Canada “a once proud country”
Cruz is only going to show his asp and his similar two faced character and integrity to his party. What he should do is MAN UP, Get a backbone and swallow the bitter pill that he lost. However this is about NOT GIVING HILARY THE TITLE OF PRESIDENT. If it’s not about that then you are in fact a Hilary supporter. At this point in time you are either united for a cause, or beating your Ball Park Frank and crying and whining like a two year old child while you do
This kind of childish behavior by Ted Cruz is why I changed my vote away from this person. If he can’t win, he will try to destroy the candidate who won the vote of the majority. We don’t need a Cry baby as a President, nor do we need a crook and total truth less woman criminal for President. Nothing wrong with a women for President but for sure not Hillorat.
I am ashamed of Cruz, Kaisich, and the Bush family for their non support of the candidate of the people’s choice. I loved George W. Bush but could not stand his brother Jeb who didn’t have anything new to say. I am disappointed that they are all sore losers.
As a Texan raised in Texas I am thoroughly discussed with what I saw at the demonstration from texas the first day. I will never cast a vote fore Ted Cruz in any form as long as he is running. He is a liar and a cheater and I do believe he cheated in other ways and yes even against his wife. He is an insider not an outsider he has as far as I know only had jobs that was connected to the Gov. His wife got him all kinds of loans from the Bank where she works but they failed to mention that on their taxes. If that was any of us we would be in jail. Please people of Texas look inside your self and do the right thing. If the voters want Ted he would have won more States and more delegates. Trump did not stop them from voting for him we just didn’t want him. He is not a natural born American he is and was a Canadian citizen up until he dicided to run for President. He is no better than OB.
The amount of money that Cruz received in that loan is a pittance compared to the money spent on the campaign. Like he pissed in the Gulf of Mexico.
Main Street: I agree with you that Trump’s son resembled someone who would be a Democrat from 40-50 years ago – exactly the reason that both my husband and I WERE Democrats – what a change the years can make – we are both SO FAR from the Democrats’ philosophy now! We will both be voting for Mr. Trump!
I’ve said for a long time the parties have changed I’m 88 years old everyone I knew were democratic now they are republican. Trump all the way
Yes, Boo him off!
I think that if Cruz tries to make Trump look bad, it will only come back to hurt himself. Obviously Cruz doesn’t know just how much this movement with Trump encompasses. Shame on him. He was my first choice when all this started, and I still like some of Teds’ beliefs, like he will abolish the “American Gestapo”, namely the IRS, and install a Flat Tax, I like that, and I wish Trump would do the same. I also still Cruz, he is a patriot, and a hellava constitutionalist.
If Cruz tries to set things up for himself for 2020 I hope it backfires right in his face. He is a disgrace to the American public. If he pulls this crap I hope he gets booed right out of the convention center. I would then put him in the same category as lying Hillary. God Bless America. And when the people who are trying to take this country down get their due rewards and karma comes and kicks their bottoms and they can not understand why I hope everyone lets them know that the AMerican people have had it with crooked politicians and turncoats. Give me back the AMerica I grew up in.
Moose in Maine — Absolutely correct. Go Trump 2016.
Your lead-in is offensive. Are you not aware of what has been happening at the Convention? Reports of intimidation of delegates and a refusal by the RNC to take roll-call, much circumstantial evidence to suggest that trump might not have had unanimous backing as is being portrayed.
When you start bandying about the term “sleazy” I suggest you cast you sights farther afield to the nominee and the RNC.
Jack are you not aware that if the Republicans do not support Trump, that they are backing Hillary Clinton for president? Yes, I will vote for Trump. Regardless of his faults, he would be a better president.
I believe that as of today you have seen how much the Republicans do not support Trump. The “anti-establishment” candidate who was going to shake up Washington, self-fund to maintain independence, eschew political correctness in favor of honesty, has all the trained seals lined up behind him. The RNC is backing any candidate who does not upset the apple-cart. Trump will fall into line and abandon all his promises to change the rigged system in exchange for inclusion into the rigged system that he has so long wanted to be a major part of. Just remember, people like YOU have put him there by ignoring his painfully obvious lack of knowledge, lack of a moral compass and lack of any kind of integrity. His history and behavior, should you be interested to evaluate it, exemplify that he is not as dissimilar to Hillary Clinton as you would like.
It’s sad to watch Ted self destruct ,he don’t have a clue how I see him now.eat up with a thirst for that old power !bug.
Did you see ‘W’ dancing a lip sinking the words at the the Dallas Fallen Police Memorial? He was smiling to the point of laughing and looked to be thinking about something more than the dead police. So what is up with him and the Obamas? They looked as though they are really bosom buddies and seem to have a very caring and loving relationship. We are not being told are we? Maybe a sneak attack coming at the Republican Convention, maybe with Cruz, since Ted is a Bush crony and his father has been with the Bushes since the 60s. We don’t know but it’s obvious something is up and George being the loose lips guy he is just couldn’t help leaking a bit of the euphoric emotion he was feeling because acting like that at the Memorial was very disrespectful.
Again, for the brain dead: PLEASE take time to read our Constitution and Founding Documents of 1789 (all online for the closeminded and easy to access!), Cruz nor Rubio were ever able to be considered eligible due to this one clear fact set forth by OUR Founding Fathers to never allow just anyone to fun for president or vice president: ONLY A NATIVE BORN SON OF A NATIVE BORN FATHER (not mother) are eligible and not any wannabe. I stopped supporting Cruz as more and more came out about him lying, cheating, being a coward, and accepting voter fraud in both Utah and Wisconsin. That is not a male I want again in the White House – we have had some bad presidents, but the empty suit is also not a native born American but an actual alien who wants amnesty to cover his behind! So, get over it, get informed, and if you don’t want to vote for OUR candidate, that’s your choice but sorry no one else is THE candidate but Trump with all the qualities that are needed to save this country. If you think you are a patriotic American, then pinch your nose and vote for Trump to block Shillary, the communist, from taking over America and casting us to the dogs of One World Government/New World Order. And, by the way, Heidi is involved with One World Government, so one can suppose that hubby Ted is also, which means no way, Jose to him being in the WH. I wouldn’t even want him in our Congress either! He spouted the Constitution constantly, which now many of us recognize as his trying to cover us his lack of eligibility because he had to know he wasn’t!
Rosech-
You’re almost right; the First Congress, Second session, defined “natural born” the same way that Vattel did in his “Law of Nations”: one must be born of TWO citizens of the country in question in order to have this status.
The first congress went a bit further than that, though, when they said that it DID NOT MATTER WHERE the child was born, as long as it was born to TWO American Citizens(with exceptions made for those born prior to the Revolution, long since expired).
As proof, i offer the 2012 S511, in which the Senate declared that McCain was eligible to run for president because BOTH of his parents were US Citizens, albeit stationed in the Panama Canal Zone(before Carter foolishly gave it back)…for they CITED the First Congress, Second Session LAW(for Congress MAKES law, you know) which states what i wrote in the previous paragraph about what conveys natural born status.
The facts are these:
To abide in Canada any longer than 30 days past the expiry of your tourist visa, you must apply for Canadian citizenship.
Cruz’s parents were in Canada for more than THREE YEARS before Lyin’ Ted was born.
Only Canadian Citizens may do that(live in Canada more than 60 days continuous, that is), and in fact, Ted is a natural-born CANADIAN.
In addition, Cruz’s mom signed up for and got Canadian medical system benefits, and both she and her husband voted in Canadian elections – again, something ONLY Canadians can do.
During the time-frame before and after Ted’s birth, Canadian law SPECIFICALLY FORBADE the holding of ANY kind of dual citizenship, therefore Cruz’s mom HAD to renounce her US citizenship in order to remain in Canada.
Ted himself publicly renounced his Canadian citizenship in May of 2014 – but refuses to supply ANY information concerning his US citizenship – and it’s VERY doubtful that he’s a legitimate US citizen AT ALL – so one probable reason he does not supply this information is that it’s NON-EXISTENT.
Despite Ted’s Constitutional knowledge, if he refuses to obey it, he’s like the devil who has memorized the bible, but refuses to live it’s precepts.
On top of all that, his entire political career has been spent cozying up to the Bush crime family, ergo he’s totally on-board with the NWO agenda HW spoke so favorably about at the UN when he was president. That makes him an enemy of the Constitution AND the United States, a Trojan horse, a 5th columnist betrayer of America and Americans. Then there’s the report from Wayne Madson, former NSA whistleblower, which says that while in college, Cruz would dress up as a woman in order to infiltrate sorority houses and peep on the women there; then there’s the attorney for the now-deceased DC Madam who threatened to publicize Hypocrite Ted’s many calls to procure prostitutes, then there’s the photos of Ted’s dad in Dallas in Nov. 1963 – in sum, this is a sleazebag con-man.
Ted should lose his Senate seat, then take up a profession he’s far better at: shoeshine boy for the Bush crime family.
Now i hear that tonight, Cruz engaged in a 20-minute long-winded sermon – but REFUSED TO ENDORSE TRUMP before concluding his speech, despite hearing repeated chanting from the delegates to “Endorse Donald Trump! Endorse Donald Trump!”, resulting in his being booed off the stage, particularly by the NY contingent.
Pretty certain that this performance will result in exactly ZERO places for him in the Trump administration…except maybe Ambassador to Canada, which would be apropos(and hilarious, to boot).
This is hog wash!!!
I do not think Lyin’ Ted is that stupid!! To go before millions of Americans who have spoken. And ridicule the future president.
The author of this article must be drinking bong water.
I will NEVER EVER vote for Cruz. Or any other outsider. I never have !!!
Trump will be the next President, and I look forward to him passing down the legacy to Donald JR in 8 years.
The entire TRUMP family are TRUE AMERICANS and I thank GOD we have the opportunity to experience TRUE Class and Grace in the Trump family. Cannot wait for them to be residing in OUR White House.
AMEN to the class and grace- but don’t count on Cruz not being “this stupid”. He is so consumed with envy and hate, I would put nothing past him
Awake, I am pretty good with words, myself, but I could not have put it as good as that, no matter how long or hard I tried. You can tell how much class the Clinton family has by looking at the head of it, Bill Clinton. Sexually harrased staff members, Lied to Congress, Impeached by the House, saved by the Senate from being removed as President, shipped millions of American jobs overseas with NAFTA, robbed the state of Arkansas blind with the help of his wife, Hillary, tried to tie the Oklahoma bombing into the State Militias so he could use the Military to dis-arm them and start to enforce the “GENECIDE TREATY” he had rammed through Congress which made us UN citizens and UN law superceeded Constitutional rights, & too many other acts aimed at destroying our Nation to name. If he had managed to dis-arm the State Militias, we would have had UN Troops arresting American Citizens for violations of UN Law. There are 40,000 UN Troops to this day housed at Military Bases that Clinton, supposedly, closed. He only closed them to U.S. Troops and moved in UN Troops. Very few people know this and that is what he & Hillary counted on until it would be too late to do anything. These state Militias are what has been protecting our freedom for years.
Ted Cruz should back his party and Donald trump !!
Also shame on John kaisick for acting like a child and not going to the convention! He is the governor start acting like a grownup and back your party. You will be helping Clinton win the White House And our country desperately needs change!! Be the man all thought you were and do the right thing.
What ever happened to being a Christian sad sad to watch!
We are not a theocracy and we are not electing a national religious leader, we are electing a CEO for the country and a person who Loves America. He will make it safer for the people to practice their faith in America instead of having to whisper or keep their message inside of their church buildings. Proverbs 4 has very good and wise advice:
25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. To far right or to far left usually ends up in a tyranny. Look straight before you and keep a balanced view. If you walk with your gaze fully to the right or left, you will walk into a telephone pole, into traffic or over a cliff. Be wise when you vote.
There is going to be a lot of wolves in sheep’s clothes in November. Many still having faded Obama bumper stickers on their cars will vote Trump while answering the pollsters differently.
I sincerely hope Mr. Cruz does not go through with his supposed plan. He will be perceived as a Party destroyer and will have zero chance in 2020 if he goes through with it. He will also assure Hillary Clinton will be the next President. Is this really what a smart, conservative Republican wants? The country will be totally destroyed by 2020 and it won’t make a bit of difference if he runs or not. He needs to quit being a whiny Democrat and get in line with the rest of the country. Donald Trump is going to Crush Hillary in November. All these polls are partially rigged to make everyone think Hillary is doing well. Everyone I speak with on a daily basis is for Trump. Everyone is sick and tired of the communist agenda that Obama and Hillary have and will put in place. Dr. Carson brought up Saul Alinsky’s name last night in his speech, but did not explain to all who he was or his doctrine, which is that of Lenin, Communist. Wake up Hillary supporters!! GO TRUMP.
I have about decided that if the people of this country (including these republican fools in the stop Trump movement) are so stupid as to want to see Clinton elected, maybe she is what we deserve. If Cruz thinks by sabotaging Trump he has a chance the nomination inf 2020 he is sadly mistaken. If Clinton, with her history, cannot be defeated in 2016, she is in for 8 years – not just 4. Were it not for the supreme court nominations and the 2nd amendment, I would be tempted to vote for Hillary myself just to let these idiots see how bad it can really be. Cruz is a snake, a cry baby and sour loser who thinks of himself as superman and is going to “save” everyone. Just can’t face the fact that he LOST and the people picked Trump. by a tremendous majority. What about your pledge Cruz? Tells me how much your “pledge” (and word) is worth. If it had been me, I would have told Cruz HELL no, you are not going to speak at my convention. Ryan and McConnell were both useless – Cruz may have to fight Ryan in 2020 – two prima donnas.. All they wanted to do was talk about re-electing senators and representatives and keeping the majority. What has the majority done so far. I think Ryan said Trump’s name two times – once calling him Donald DAY Trump and the other saying VP nominee Mike Pence before he said persidental nominee Donald Trump. If I had 2 wishes that could be granted, it would be that Trump be elected and Ryan defeated!
Ted Cruz was smart and looking forward to being elected in the future he should put this all to rest and come behind the Trump nomination because if he doesn’t and continues to act the fool like many of his crybaby supporters just think how many millions of trump supporters Will Remember come the next election time when Cruz wants to run how many millions of vote’s will he lose
anthony, My thoughts exactly. Does Cruz really think that if he trashes Trump, the millions that voted for Trump will then vote for Cruz? Not in our lifetime. He would never get through a primary. When you promise to support the people’s choice and then refuse to do so, you are toast to the people. I never really cared for Cruz (something seems crooked about him) but I CERTAINLY would have voted and supported him against Hil if that was the choice. cruz should drop out of the rep party if he can not support the Rep people’s choice.
With donald trump we are getting to see what the framers and founders called a true patriot,never dreamed I would have that pleasure in my life time to see.
Cruz cannot be trusted PERIOD. The guy is nothing but a RAT. I need to say no more about this sub human bastard.
Lyin’ Sonnie.
sonnieC-
He even LOOKS like a rat.
Rat-boy Cruz.
Lyin’ Rat Ted.
Or is that a weasel? He looks like a weasel, too.
i’ve seen interviews of former college roommates that say Cruz’s character is SO bad, they could agree with 100% of what he says and STILL not vote for him.
One of the first NSA whistleblowers, Wayne Madsen, says that during his college years, Lyin’ Ted would dress up as a woman in order to peep on women in sorority houses…then there’s that whole DC Madam’s attorney about to release Lyin’ Ted’s phone number out of her records thing, too. Wonder whatever became of that? Maybe he got a large enough bribe from the Bush crime family to shut him up…or a large enough threat…or both.
But to reiterate, i heard through Alex Jones that some delegates were planning to walk out of the RNC after Cruz’s speech was over, and that Trump had simply withdrawn Cruz’s speaking invitation to forestall that sleazy, skeezy move.
I really do not think Cruz will do any type of “ambush”.
I am a lifelong conservative republican, and honestly, I have never seen a grown man, especially a grown man that claims to be a Christian, act in such an immature, egotistical way! If he truly was an honorable man, he would “get over himself” and support our amazing nominee, which all the candidates agreed to do! I have lost respect for him and would not Ever want him as a leader.
What’s wrong with some of these republicans? Don’t they understand that if they don’t vote for TRUMP, they are voting for hilary? They sure don’t have the welfare of our country on their agenda, only their own selfish agenda. We need to elect conservative supreme court judges in order to keep our nation as our founding fathers agreed on, a Christian nation, founded on the word of GOD, our Bible. It’s so sad, but if, heaven forbid, hilary gets in, our country is gone.
This slimy “Hispanic” substitute Mexican makes my skin crawl. He looks like a crook and did tell several lies during his campaign. I don’t trust him and Trump was right not to either. He should not be allowed to speak at the convention if he is going to try and sabotage the now confirmed party nominee. SSG U.S. Army (RET)
Obviously this idiot does not know when he is not wanted, is he a freaking liberal? He sure is acting like one.
I guess the vow and the pledge that all the Republicans took when they were running for the primary didn’t mean a thing. If Ted and Kasich and Bush and any others that took that pledge on stage the first night. can’t come together in unity then maybe all the names that Trump applies to them are true. It will be a big mistake if Ted tries to do anything else underhanded, may be Ly’in Ted fits him. 🙁 I once had respect for Ted, so sad to see Him behaving this way!
I love how this site just makes things up to stir emotions. The news here is solely for entertainment purposes, nothing else. Lyin’ Donnie got the nod and the rest is history, no one cares what Ted has to say, why do you. You people need to take your meds and keep your BP down before you have a CVA. Take your decisive energy and get the guy elected and quit dividing the party, that’s all this type of hype does ………..period
jwb – you need to be relegated to a padded cell – you sound like you’re clinically unbalanced. Try you luck with “liberal” web sites available.
REALLY? i AM VOTING FOR THE IDIOT TRUMP, i LOVE THIS SITE, TOO FUNNY …………….
Like most “Liberals” you are a physical oddity by being able to function with your head up your A _ _.
You are deserving of you’re choices President O’bozo and his hand picked successor the Pantsuit wearing “Wicked Witch of the East Hillary the Hun” – lots of luck NUMBNUTS.
I WILL VOTE FOR THE LIAR DONNIE, WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU, DO U NOT READ ENGLISH!
I rarely read the articles, I love the comments below, that is where the real mood of the country is found. The mood appears to be PRO TRUMP! Go Trump!!!!!
Cruz needs to join the other sellouts and leave the Republican Party.we’re better off without them
Don’t be “so full of yourself”, Bruce. Trump asked Cruz to speak tonight at the convention. Why else do you think Cruz is there? Kasich is not there because Trump did not ask him to speak.
These people Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and those delegates need to get over themselves – we the “People” voted in favor of Trump because we’re fed up with all the crap – grow up ASSHOLES it’s not about you.
Mr. Trump
You probably won’t be able to win without all the conservative vote. Announce that if you are elected President, Senator Ted Cruz will be nominated for the open position on the Supreme Court. Of course, you will have to work this out with Sen. Cruz beforehand. You will get every Tea Party vote. They will crawl to the polling place if need be.
Cruz has already said he doesn’t want the Supreme Court position. His sights & mind are set on one thing………being POTUS!!! Period!!
Rana-
Due to the circumstances of his birth, Cruz can NEVER be POTUS. He’s not “natural born,” as defined by the First Congress in their second session…which definition concurred with Emmerich Vattel’s book “Law of Nations,” which came out roughly 30 years prior to the Ratification conventions.
Being as he’s a lying weasel sycophant/toady for the Bush Crime Family(meaning he’s fully on-board with being a Trojan horse for the NWO/OWG PNAC slime), he should NEVER sit on the bench of SCOTUS.
Constitutionalist,
Agree 100%. I don’t understand how so many people think he is a NBC. For one, his dad was ‘definitely’ not a US Citizen(end of story right there) But let’s go on…….Two, Canada didn’t allow for ‘dual Citizenship’ at the time Cruz was born. Three, no one knows the ‘true’ status of Cruz’s moms citizenship. Four, SEALED RECORDS……..What is Cruz hiding???? You don’t seal records unless you’re trying to hide something!! If an American woman goes over to, let’s say Iran, hooks up with an Iranian, gives birth to a healthy bouncing boy………..he is now eligible to be POTUS? I DON’T THINK SO!!! Rubio is also not eligible. Born in US, but NEITHER of his parents were US Citizens. We need to get his under control and God knows who will be in the WH in the future(like someone ‘worse’ than the Muslim we currently have). Cruz hid his Canadian ‘Citizenship’ from the voters in TX when running for the Senate. In addition, not disclosing the 2 loans(GS & Citi) deceiving the voters as he told them that he & Heidi liquidated their assests to assist with the financing of his Senate run. I truly do not believe it was a clerical ‘error’. When this came out to the public during the Primaries, Cruz opted to take the route of the ‘enforcement division’ -vs- just correcting the paperwork as he knew it would take approx 18months(beyond Nov 2016) for all investigations to be done.
Rana-
i’m hip.
i try to inform each and every Cruz supporter who posts at this website of his TOTAL unsuitability, but like many, their attitude seems to be “Don’t confuse me with facts; my mind’s made up.”
Too bad; so sad. Those who deny the truth enslave themselves.
i can find out nothing about the author of the quotation i’m about to cite, but it’s apropos to the subject matter:
“The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves.”
~Dresden James
Can you say “social security”? Can you say “marriage licenses”? Can you say “driver’s licenses”?
“Beware of whom you ask permission; they will be your masters.”
Yes, i realize that i’m straying from the subject of Cruz, but it’s important to consider and reflect upon these matters, which directly relate to the exercise of liberty, or the knuckling-under to tyranny, which IMO is far more important than this sycophantic weasel will ever be.
Cruz, along with 15 others, swore to stand by the GOP candidate that got the most votes during the campaign, but now he’s going against that. Truly a slime bag.
If someone publicly called your wife ugly and said that your father helped assassinate JFK, I’m sure you’d jump right out there to endorse him, right? And called you a liar when all you did was to believe a report on CNN and act on it, that would be ok too, right? Sen. Cruz is a much better man than to try to embarrass the only hope our country has to keep a criminal out of the WH, but if family loyalty prevents him from actually endorsing Mr. Trump, I think it’s understandable, given the level of false and vicious attacks he endured at the hands of Mr. Trump during the primaries, which Mr. Trump eventually admitted were untrue. Texas elected a great Senator, who works tirelessly to root out the corruption in our government, and he doesn’t deserve the vitriol he’s received for simply doing a great job of running his campaign effectively and utilizing the rules of each state effectively. He didn’t make the rules, but he used them to his advantage whenever possible. It’s sour grapes to complain about that.
I used to have respect for Cruz. In fact early in the primaries he was my pick. The people of the US voted Trump to be nominated and I can accept that, but it looks like whiny Cruz cant. I have lost all respect for Cruz and will never vote for him now or in the future. I hope he gets negative in speech tonight so his political career is over. I like whiners just as much as thieves.
He continues to fight for you dingdong. Don’t worry he won’t mess up your liberal running for office against the other liberal.
For all you misinformed Trump supporters, Cruz is speaking at the convention tonight because TRUMP ASKED HIM TO SPEAK.
Therefore, all your unfavorable comments about Cruz, including those from The Horn, are completely unjustified.
But think what you want; no one is going to attempt to change your beliefs.
I would be most pleased if Cruz gives a good Pro Trump speech. it would do wonders for his political career.
What is Cruz’s problem? How disrespectful of him to continue carrying on like a spoiled brat! Our country is falling apart! Yet he considers himself as the only one who can save it! Well, we the people have chosen Donald J. Trump! So live with it Cruz! I am sorry Mr. TRump invited you to speak! You flaunt you Christian values yet look at how you are behaving. GOD is in charge of not only this country but in charge of this election. HE HAS chosen Mr. TRump through the prayers of many, many Christians. YOU, ESPECIALLY A SO CALLED EVANGELICAL promoting of yourself, need to suck it up and publicly support Mr. Trump and his presidency. All I see is your COVETING the nomination, which you do not have, and which is the tenth of the ten ten commandments of God. “THOU SHALT NOT COVET.” Be careful, very careful Cruz….You are sinning against God who promised that”Vengeance is Mine says the Lord, I will repay.” You need to repent for your coveting. If not you will repay for the harm you are doing against not only the Republican Party but AGAINST GOD!!! I will never, ever support you in the future unless you do. GO TRUMP AND GOD BLESS TRUMP AND AMERICA!!!!
he isn’t sinning against anyone. But you will answer for voting for the casino owner who mocks God.
So a casino owner is evil? So all Native Americans that own them are bad too? It is not wrong to gamble, unless you are a Baptist. The wrong is when you take it to extremes just like anything else. I don’t think God gets into politics because if he did Obama would never have been elected. I would rather vote for a casino owner than a lying, cheating, socialist , murderer that will say or do anything and I do mean anything to get elected. The body count us at 35 of her old assistants, ppl who testified against her or was going to testify. 29 committed suicide, how convenient. A woman who admitted she used the IRS to dig up dirt on all the women who accused Bill of anything. Yeah I want her as my president.NOT, she makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.

Get over yourself, Ted Cruz! I’m a committed conservative and I will never ever vote for you! Not now, not in 2020 or 2024! Not ever!
then you’re not really a conservative.
Oh Sabrina.
Get off your high horse!
Cruz is a snake oil salesman. Obviously, he was able to brain wash YOU!!!
Don’t judge people unless YOU are perfect. Idiot
Hey, Awake, why don’t YOU stop judging people, like you are doing to Sabrina.
You people are unbelievable. Wake up and THINK. Cruz is there because Trump REQUESTED him to speak tonight. Trump controls the convention; it is all his show. Do you think anyone can get up and speak without Trump’s approval? Just THINK before all those unfavorable, derogatory comments come out of your mouth.
Cruz is a jerk! He will never get elected in 2020, just like Clinton thought she would win this year when Obama got the vote. If Trump doesn’t get a double term then the likely candidate I think would be Paul Ryan. He is a super man and has everything going for him. Cruz is really from Canada, and not likely to secure the votes of the people. I hope he tries to pull the party together rather than go against what everyone is trying to achieve, unity. He has been an outcast of Congress from the beginning of his tenure in Congress with his wild ideas, Ryan would be the likely candidate i my eyes not Cruz!
Paul Ryan, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are all cut from the same liberal RINO cloth and I can not tell them apart. All 3 RINOS born from the same liberal momma. All Obama buddies and enablers in my estimation.
Shame on you for believing the media whenever you see a headline on some article on the internet. Do some real research people. Cruz is much smarter than you obviously think. He’s not going to go up on stage at the national convention & try to only use it as a tool for his 2020 run for President. Really people? By falling victim to all the stupid media headlines & articles, you are no different than all the libs that believe all the crap in the evening news. Do your own research and get smart!
Most Republicans have unfavorable opinions of Donald Trump – just as most Democrats wish they didn’t have to nominate Hillary Clinton. Even If Trump’s narcissism did not require his non-stop aggrandizement at the convention, the Republicans would still have to build him up to try to extend some kind of actual support (and not just Clinton bashing) beyond the small minority who have accepted his political snake oil. Still, it is refreshing to hear some speakers like Paul Ryan recognize that there are substantive issues that must be considered. I expect Cruz to also focus on some of those issues which remain important in even in this age of reality tv politics.
This does not seem to be my experience. I seem to only run into Trump supporters everywhere I go. I think he is the true embodiment of the original Tea Party movement. Common sense people from all walks of life. The Trump supporters I meet online and in person are the same people I visited with at Tea Party events. The sensible middle America and that gives me a little hope in these dark hours.
I have also noticed that many former Tea Party fanatics are now staunch Trump followers, even though Trump’s ill-defined policies seem to be diametrically opposed to Tea party beliefs – and Trump himself is a one-percenter, liberal, who seems not to have ever read the Constitution.
I would encourage everyone to read or re-read the classic “The True Believer” by Eric Hoffer. It has many insights that apply to the current state of affairs, including observations about how fanatical followers of one movement can become adherents to another that is completely different. He says, for example:
“When people are ripe for a mass movement, they are usually ripe for any effective movement, and not solely for one with a particular doctrine or program. In pre-Hitlerian Germany it was often a tossup whether a reckless youth would join the Communists or the Nazis. … This receptivity to all movements does not always cease even after the potential true believer has become the ardent convert of a specific movement. Where mass movements are in violent competition with each other, there are not infrequent instances of converts – even the most zealous – shifting their allegiance from one to the other. A Saul turning into Paul is neither a rarity nor a miracle.”
Ted Cruz will surprise everyone–Beck, Levin, Erickson, Ryan, Bush and the rest of the no-shows. His endorsement will be beyond “ringing” for Donald and provide the impetus for a renewed unification of the “NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY”. This will seal the fate of Clinton, continue the investigation into her criminal and self-serving stint at State. Remember, Cruz was in the office of AG of TX and had influence with SCOTUS. His solid and honest revival of the old ‘bromance’ with Donald will clinch his renewed support for a consistency within the party to ‘shape up or ship out’. He also will provide his accommodation to Trump’s old challenge to his Canadian citizenship by seeking confirmation once again for his eligibility to hold the office he has and recover from the debacle of the “Carson Contention” in Iowa.
Or my name is Muddd, Mr. Cruz–Sierra Oscar Bravo! Semper Fi.

Ted Cruz is probably the best debater in the Senate. He won’t make a fool out of himself.
Honestly, from my conversation with Ex Cruz supporters, they are done with the dude. And who are they fooling anyway… If Killary were to some how slip in, she would push Obozo policies into overdrive and stack the Supreme Court. It would then be a one party system that even democrats would be in shock n awe…
IF Cruz does “ambush” Trump, two — at LEAST two — things will happen: 1) He’ll get booed and laughed off the podium, and 2) he’ll be kissing 2020 goodbye. If Cruz can’t take a word-beatdown by Trump, he’d ball up and cry if he couldn’t get his way with the Congress or other nations. So, Ted: Celebrate Donald Trump as the nominee, and likely the next President (after “W” of course). He’ll do a good job, even though the status politicians are still sore from their spanking. And, believe me, He-liar Clinker is shaking, both from ANGER and FRIGHT. She feels she DESERVES this, because she rolled over for Barry to accede to the throne. She played SecState and took the sh!t storm for Benghazi, Lybia, Russia and Putin, China — WOW — has she fukked up THAT many times? Poor liberals. All they have is , well, nothing, other than she would be the first female president. She’s a liar. Traitor. Angry b!tch to all those around her (and WHY NOT __ she’s a failure at EVERYTHING). What an opportunity we have, to tell the political elites in Washingtopia that they now have to LISTEN TO US AND DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE NATION!!!! It’s the beginning of the Peoples’ Revolution, and it’s about time!
Cruz will talk of the changes needed for this country to move back to the constitution and people. His character and patriotism will drive his speech. Let’s pray that the voters see that in Trump as well. We will not accept Hilary or Socialism. This is not about the individual. This vote is about saving our country and the American way of life. We must all show leadership, resolve, honesty and the people must be able to Trust its leaders to treat all Americans and those wanting to be AMERICANS equally. We gain nothing by name calling. That will never unite the party or the country. If you seek to name call you seek division. Let’s stop the name calling and pointing the finger. Our Countries existence is at stake!!!
CRUZ IS A” CRY BABY..”………THROUGHOUT HIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN ALL YOU HEARD HIM DO WAS WHINE LIKE SOME CHILD WHO DID NOT GET HIS WAY. ABSOLUTELY, A LOSER!
Let’s remember one vital thing! Hillary Clinton is the enemy! Cruz should realize that. Let’s hope he has the “statesmanlike” qualities to extend an olive branch in his speech tonight toward unifying the party! The same goes for Kasich in Ohio. He is acting like a spoiled brat who lost a contest and is now sulking and he is a sitting governor of Ohio! But above all, Hillary Clinton must be defeated because she is nothing more than a female version of Barack Obama who has done more to divide this nation than any other sitting President including James Buchanan!
Adherence to the Constitution ? LOL …. Ted Cruz does not even meet the requirements of the US Constitution . He is NOT a natural born citizen as our Founding Fathers required when drafting the Constitution. He talks about the Constitution but sure as hell doesn’t mind violating it . He is ruining his political career , …I would NEVER VOTE for him for POTUS …and I sent money to him for his US Senate campaign. He is the worst loser I’ve seen in politics . I supported Trump from the start and will vote for him.
My comment is simple. He stole the vote from Ben Carson in Iowa.
I knew people who were there, they ask his crew to tell the truth.
They would not! They planted the story with CNN.
If he had to go so low to steal there, he is not the man we need in the White House!
We already have a liar and a thief there now.
I financially supported and wanted Cruz to win. He didn’t…time to get over it and support Trump. It fact I’m greatly disappointed in the quest by Cruz. He his proving still thinks there is some mandate for his election…there is not. What do you not understand that Trump got more votes than any Republican in history.
I think part of the problem is believing all the stuff from the Blaze. Actually he would be great as a Supreme Court Justice if he can humble himself and get in full support of Trump . However Paul Ryan needs to be defeated.
Christie harmed himself and the party with his speech at Romney’s convention. Cruz should understand that the same will happen to him if he does a Christie with his time on stage
Mr. Cruz, your lies are what did you in. I was 50/50 trump or Cruz until I heard your lies with my own ears at the late hours of your campaign. if you can not win by telling the truth, and have to use lies, I am done with you. You also jumped in on the dog pile that was thrashing Trump and even used the same narrative that the lying media was using at the time, you jumped in with both feet kicking Trump in the face while they held him down. I can’t respect you after that.
Cruz needs to get behind Trump!!! Cruz supporters , guess what, you lost too!!!
Get on board or get lost!!! GO TRUMP, beat the HILDABEAST or we are all toast!!!
Losing is hard to swallow for some people…… time for Cruz to move on and digest he lost.
Cruz planning a coup?
Bunch of crap reporting there
#transference
Is EVERYBODY CRAZY?
I was for Ted but the esablishment did not want him or support him. I still think he is the best man for the job.
HOWEVER:
It’s not going to happen and anyone voting for Hillery and anyone hurt because Ted lost and you think voting your concience and you just can’t vote for Trump had better look at the alternative:
1) 500% more Islamics into our country than under Obama. They expect something for the millions of dollars they have given the Clintons.
2) One or more left wing judges on top court.
3) 4 to 8 more years of Obama or worse.
4) Aren’t you already tired of the lies?
5) A crook in the white house?
If you don’t swallow your pride and vote for Donald you are certainly not worried about your country or the chidren and posterity of America!
TRUMP/PENCE 2016 THRU 2024
A non vote or a vote for Hillar-lie is a stunning victory for the dishonest and big money funded controlled liberal leftist anti American media. Listen to several Trump speeches over the last 6 months instead of listening to the media’s analysis of his speeches. He has not wavered.
I do not like name calling but as of this day I find ted’s nickname to hold true. If a person not only states by voice and then signs a document of declaration stating that whoever wins the GOP nomination that person would support the GOP nominee and then lays back and will not support nor endorse that candidate, is that person telling the truth or are they lying? Ted cruz has not endorsed nor has he shown any support for DONALD TRUMP, so in my book should be tagged as Ly’in ted. The only apology that is in order is one from ted cruz.
If he wants to have any future in politics he must step up to the plate, eat a small amount of crow and do the right thing. If he does not support and endorse DONALD TRUMP he is finished in WE THE PEOPLE’s eyes.
I also had a 50/50 Trump or Cruz opinion until I heard his lies just days before he dropped out. I thought Trump ought to tone down the lyin Ted remarks until I heard the lies myself. After that, I was finished with Cruz whom I thought was the better candidate. If you have to join the dark side and lie about your opponent, then I have no more time for you and no longer trust you. Go Trump!
IF Cruz ambush Trump when he won it just go to show what a poor looser he is, and if he does I will not vote for him no matter what he tries. If he is a man of his word he would through his full support behind him tonight, to show that he is with the rest of the Republicans. Than an only than I would consider voting for him when he runs again. He should remember that your word mean something and by breaking it you loose all creditable.
What a self-serving idiot. Why on earth would ANYONE in any party vote for Cruz in 2020, or 3020 for that matter, when he is willing to sell out not only the duly elected Presidential Candidate, but the entire Republican Party and pretty much hand the election to Hillary Clinton if his stunt is successful.
Perhaps he should run as Clinton’s VP Candidate? MIght as well because he is her number one advocate at this point in time, or will be if attempts to sabotage the Republican Convention as rumored. The PEOPLE have spoken. If he puts his own selfish desires and goals ahead of what the PEOPLE want now, can you imagine what he would do in the White House?????
And this is another example of why Washington needs a complete house cleaning – and an excellent way to deliver that message to the entire batch collectively would be to start by electing Trump in a land slide.
We will not forget those who stabbed the Republican nominee in the back by not voting for him or supporting him. Get ready for 2020 and we will not support your candidate either.
cruz and his supporters dont get it the conservetive religius wackos will never get more than15 20% of the vote you have to get enough moderates to swing right as long as the far right bible beaters try fortuantly there are still enough seperation of church state people around get behind trump now or you will wind up with more O’TURD and hildabeast
If Cruz is stupid enough to pull crap again he is done forever, even right here in Texas. Cruz has revealed himself as being an establishment politician and we just don’t need such. Moreover, he would have possibly made a good choice for an appointment to the Supreme Court, but now I have my doubts. He’s got a lot of fence mending to do if he would like Trump to appoint him to the Supreme Court.
You see what happens when we violate the Constitution and allow candidates who are not natural born citizens to run for POTUS …..we end up with a Barack Hussein Obama , who is not a natural born citizen . A disaster for our Country . That is precisely why the Founders put that clause in the US Constitution ,…..to avoid diasters like Obama ,….someone who has no love for our Country. That is why he is tearing it down as fast as he can and turning the US into a third world ….corrupt regime run… hell hole where he is bringing in our enemies , fundamental Muslims from terror plaqued countries and planting them all over the USA . The attacks are just starting ,…expect more ….just like in France .
I believe that Ted Cruz is simply a self-serving liar whose only ourlook is for himself. Also, I am very disappointed in John Kasich in his boycott of the convention. I could have voted for the governor but will not consider him or Cruz in the future.
A citizen of Cuba born in Canada is not a natural born citizen of the USA even though his mother was a citizen of the USA. Forget about usurping that office Ted.
yogiman—It’s hard to believe that there is another citizen who KNOWS that the guy is not eligible. It is something that so many lie to themselves about him. I can read English quite well, and that includes the Constitution.
It does not take a lawyer to read it and understand it.
I think the country is such shambles with immorality, division and turmoil. We have defamed GOD in everything. We have a failed foreign policy, high unemployment, high taxes, open borders, veterans suffering , homeless, unaffordable health care and the list goes on and on! Trump is the only who has the guts to do anything about it. Cruz owes too many political favors to do anything for US WE THE PEOPLE. SO, I think the “POLITICAL PARTY” process is over. It is all about America, not any one party. The Republican party has become way too liberal for me. I have supported Trump since day 1..common sense poltics.
This is my FINAL post today; I’ve got to accomplish some things. BUT for all you Cruz bashers out there, are you for real? Do not you realize that this is Trump’s convention? Everyone who speaks has either been asked by Trump to speak, or approved by Trump to speak. (In Cruz’s case, he was ASKED BY TRUMP to speak.) Reading most of your posts, it’s incredible how shallow you must be to think Cruz can get up there and speak without Trump’s approval! You read the headlines of The Horn, and you jump to conclusions and start spewing off your irrational comments. Save your venom for the real enemies, who are Crooked, Lying Hillary, Obamy, Sharpton, Holder, Lynch, Wright, Reid, Palosi, and I’ll even throw in the “persecuted” pundit Van Jones of CNN! THINK people, THINK. We have to be united, whether you prefer Kasich, Bush, Cruz, Walker, Trump, Rubio, or whoever. The object is to keep the lying, cheating, over-spending left-wing out of the White House for the next term. Therefore, I am on the “Trump Train”!
For the record he was not the last to go. Kasich was. After the backroom deal Cruz and Kasich made that fell apart he tried a last gasp effort by picking another loser “Carley” as VP and then the voters sent them all down in flames This loser needs to face facts and get over it. He lost. Be a man and get behind the winner or S-T-F-U
I am saddened by the thought that Ted Cruz might pull a stunt as mentioned. I surely hope not – I pledged a donation to his re-election campaign but will not be mailing it until I see what he does tonight.
Senator Ted Cruz is trying to pull a Bill Clinton, he’s nothing but another Clincrat in sheeps clothing. We know he was born in Canada. Senator Ted Cruz
gave up his Canadian citizenship. I hope they boo him right out of the convention tonight there in Cleveland when he gets to speak. The best & smart thing for Senator Ted Cruz to do is endorse Donald J. Trump and go on the warpath AGAINIST Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton of the Demoncratic party that is owned by the Clinton’s who also own the FBI, the DOJ & others they bribed, bought off completely & have threatened & bullied to get their way. If Senator Ted Cruz doesn’t endorse Donald J. Trump, he’s only helping Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton out.
The country doesn’t need any more torture that Hiltery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton will continue to do, but only a gazillion times worse.
TRUMP-PENCE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO MORE TORTURE BY THE DEMONCRATS-NO MORE CLINTONS NOW & FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SENATOR CRUZ IF YOU WANT THE REPUBLICANS BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE, ENDORSE DONALD J. TRUMP NOW!!!!
OUR COUNTRY DOESN’T NEED ANYMORE TORTURE AT ALL. TRUMP-PENCE ALL THE WAY-2016,2020
This is my final comment on the Cruz speech. I don’t think that Ted Cruz is stupid. He will not get up and verbally attack Mr. Trump on stage. The amount of support Cruz gives to Trump will show how well they have patched things since the primaries. Mr. Trump needs Cruz’ voters desperately if he’s to win in November. And if Mr. Trump’s conservative conversion is for real, he’ll need men like Cruz in the US Senate to work with him. He may also consider Cruz for the US Supreme Court, since he’ll probably have at least 3 potential appointments to consider. In closing, I’m sure that if not friends Trump and Cruz have patched things in the past few weeks. The proof will be tonight with Cruz’ speech.
Someone needs to dump an ice bucket on Ted (and his supporters) and remind them that Ted does not qualify as a “Natural Born Citizen” and hence cannot serve as President under the Constitution.
And we have already suffered through way too many politicians who defy the Constitution!
“We the people of the United States of America” in order to have a Strong and Great Country That is for the rule of Law will vote for Donald Trump as the next president of United States of America TRUMP/ PENCE 2016
Ted Cruz loves himself. His ego, and arrogance will always cling to his brain and heart at the expense of downing our country, just to push his own. But he’ll never succeed. he knows that the majority of the people won’t vote for him. That he’d rather give the WH to Hillary the crook than being saved by Donald Trump. Cruz is a traitor. That that runs in his family? His father came from Cuba, and a friend of Fidel. Ted was born in Canada, and not a natural born citizen. He is not qualified. Why is he so arrogant, won’t accept defeat with humility? Fact is he will not succeed but his purpose is to destroy Trump, and allow Hillary Clinton to win. Therefore she could continue to rule this country lawlessly. She will import 550% illegal Muslims including terrorists, in payback to the money that Saudi paid her.
CRUZ, AND HIS ALLIES TO SABOTAGE THIS ELECTION OF TRUMP ARE TRULY TRAITORS TO AMERICA.
If CRUZ does NOT endorse Trump he can proudly wear the LYING TED t-shirt. He can join the ranks of the ODIOUS JOHN KASICK as a lying scumbag who demanded ALL sign a pledge to support the winner and then RENEGED on their signed pledge. If a mans word is no good, his handshake is no better.
GO TRUMP BUILD THE WALL BAN THE JIHADISTS 2016!!!
My apologies, I forgot to add LYING JEB to the above comment.
GO TRUMP BUILD THE WALL BAN THE JIHADISTS 2016!!!
The image Ted is provoking is that he is a lying politician.
Go for it. Because the result will not be a happy one either now or down the road.
This is not the high and mighty speaking. It is the average person out there voting Republican for the first time.
Ted needs to get with his public relations director fast. People that specialize in people know image is very important.
I think Ted might make an excellent lawyer in the new administration if he would simply get with it.
The governor from Ohio needs a reality check. Because what he is doing is also provoking an image that he really doesn’t want.
When you publicly renege on your word, no one will vote for you on my level. That level like I have said is the average person level not the degreed college level. We basically are the working class of America.
I spent a good portion of my life in advertising. What I am saying is basic 101 public relations. It is not something high and mighty and college degreed.
Don’t be deceived by your fellow Texans urging you on.
I have not liked Ted Cruz since his campaign tried to say Dr. Carson had quit the race and was going home. I hope he will endorse Trump since he is the nominee…anything less will reflect negatively on Cruz himself, the same as those Republicans who are sulking at home instead of participating in the GOP convention. They don’t realize how much negativity the conservative voters are attaching to those folks who are appearing to be poor losers.
Cruz would be dead meat can not get past the scum bag for using the bible and GODS word for personal gain while steeling and cheating the public and the voting rights of the people. My Dog Died 20 years ago and I would not allow him to watch over him for the day
Sorry Ted, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark) is running in 2020 and Trump is sealed for 2016. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=tom+cotton
It is my hope the Ted Cruz, will give an outstanding speech speaking on his thoughts for the country as he did during the debates… Show the same dignity that he has during his time in the Senate.. I was for him as I’ve always felt he was a gentleman working for his country.. Tonight, I will be disappointed in him if he doesn’t come forth with a plea for UNITY in the party, want him to be Positive, enough of the nagavity comments… If he is truly for our Country let him endorse Mr. Trump. America, needs to be restored for our strength, values not only for ourselves but for the world. I want Ted Cruz to have a place in leading the country.. This was not his time, don’t destroy your future with a nagative speech… You are needed, but what you do and say this evening WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACK ON YOUR FUTURE… EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE… THINK BEFORE YOU SPEEK…
Sorry, to say, I’ve lost a lot of respect for the Bush’s, the Governor of Ohio, Mr. Romney, their true colors have come out and it’s not pretty EGO’s bigger than love of country… No more Donations to the Bush Libraries, which by the way Mr. Cruz, cause some inconvenience to my family in October of the year Bush 43 library opened, due to the closure of the goverment which I actually supported… Stayed in Dallas two extra days just to visit the Library… What does GW (43) mean by his statement ” I will be the last elected Republican President” ????
Come on Cruz, help elect, Trump, who knows you might be the 46th Republican President IF YOU PLAY YOUR CARDS “RIGHT” STARTING WITH YOUR SPEECH TONIGHT!!
If Cruz is going to focus on adherence to the Constitution, he might want to check the part where it requires both parents to be natural-born citizens. What a hypocrite, and so are the people who are still with him.
I am still wondering why Trump asked him to speak. I guess that he was trying to mend fences.
If I gave a party, I would not ask anyone that I did not really like, nor liked me, to come to the party.
You need to read that again. Article II, Section 1: “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.” Nothing about parents.
Most people come from parents. You are supposed to know that. It does not have to be spelled out, in most cases.
law5960-
You are correct; the Constitution itself does not define “natural born,” an omission the First Congress, in their Second Session, corrected by correctly stating that – with exceptions for those born prior to the Revolution – “natural born” status is conveyed via both parents being Citizens of any of these United States. This provision was included in the Constitution at the instigation of John Jay, who was considered to be the expert on Emmerich Vattel’s “Law of Nations,” in which he states that for ANY country, natural born status comes ONLY when both parents are Citizens of the country in question, e.g. to be a natural born Canadian, both parents must be Canadian citizens, etc. But Congress went a bit further, stating that the PLACE of birth was irrelevant for natural born status to be acquired, too – just as long as BOTH parents were US citizens, the child was to be considered “natural born” and therefore eligible for the offices requiring that status.
Multiple subsequent SCOTUS decisions confirm this LAW made by Congress and signed by George Washington, starting with one called “The Venus.”
As further proof, when McCain wanted to run for the presidency, many questioned his eligibility on the grounds that he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, and not on a US base, either(iirc). i believe it was in 2011 or 2012, the Senate issued S511, which CITED the First Congress’ second session LAW to declare that McCain was, in fact, eligible due to his having been born of TWO US Citizens.
Curiously, this selfsame law seems not to have been applied to D’OweBama by Congress. The fix was in.
If Cruz pull something on Trump tonight he can kiss his career in Government over…PERIOD..!!! Cruz is showing me that he is a complete NUT JOB, and his advisors are Complete NUT JOBS as WELL..!!!
We’ve had enough of the bush-clinton-cruz drama queens…nice try though. 🙂
Get off the sinking cruz ship…ride the Trump Train!

Well it just goes to show you that Cruz is a POS and only think’s of himself and his ‘tude. He thinks he will become Prez in 2020. We WILL remember what he did with TRUMP in 2016 and TRUMP will be PRESIDENT till 2024 because he will need 2 terms to clean up what the past 4 President’s have done to our country in her past and the worst was Obama. If Hildabeast were to become our next Prez only the good LORD above would be able to save us OR we would end up in a civil war. That would be why Obama and Hildabeast are trying to take our guns from us so they can be our LORD and MASTER/MISTRESS. I say WE the PEOPLE need to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH already and we will NOT put up with this any longer!!
TRUMP in 2016 is where my vote is going. What are you going to do with yours?? I would hope that you would not VOTE for Hillary for she is not afraid to kill AMERICANS. You or someone in your family could be next.
Trump supporters are Americans! They’re not “no-body-but-us” Conservatives and “give-it-away” Liberals. He believes in he constitution and he believes in the individual liberties that made America great (before Obama). Plus he is a business man who has demonstrated his ability to create jobs. Not government jobs that create overhead and debt for our nation, but jobs that produce jobs and wealth. Give it up Cruz.
LANDSLIDE FOR HILLARY IN 2016. THEN SHE KICKS LYIN TED’S A$$ IN 2020. GET USED TO MADAME PRESIDENT FOR THE NEXT 8 GREAT YEARS. NOW GET BACK TO PLOWING THOSE FIELDS YOU HILLBILLY MOONSHINE RETHUGS
as a business man Trump will be a asset is conviction about stopping illegal immigration is good, The United State of America welcome all immigrant true the legal process, when you become a legal elian it is to accept the rule of the USA and your freedom of religion is accepted but not to disturb the one in place by using treat and pressure for you conviction as jimmy Carter did just send them home and don’t let them in until you know really how they are, Ted Cruz was never good if he run one thing for sure I am going to Hilary is no good never did nothing with all the year as senator and is family leak to JFK dead bad choice for sur
Preaching Ted lost the battle against Trump. If his troops want in on the bigger war to prevent more Hillary nightmares they need to act like an alley in winning the War. Actually I’d prefer the preacher & his flock show their support for the “movement” by doing their preaching about the evils of Hillary independently. I don’t feel comfortable with set up of antics Ted pulls being construed by press and Hillary as Trump antics, so really be nice if he & flock simply reframed further from Trump bashing and put ” Paid for by Cruz” or whatever Cruz label on their Ad’s, protests & antics if they want to make contributions to winning the war to save America.
Ted Cruz is not eligible to become president of the USA. My son was born in Germany and was issued a letter of birth from the American embassy. I was stationed in Germany with the Air Force. Both myself and wife are natural born citizens. We were told
that we would have to have our son naturalized before a Judge for him to get his citizenship.
Bones
Which makes Ted Cruz ineligible to be a U S Senator if he is not a U S citizen because he has stated that he has never been “naturalized”.
If your son was born on German soil, he is a German citizen. The difference between him and Juan McPain, for instance, is that the Panama Canal Zone was American property at the time of McPain’s birth. Therefore, he was born on American soil. Even if you son is naturalized, he was born in a foreign country, and Germany has the right to claim him as one of their citizens.
I can not understand how anyone who has any knowledge of the U S Constitution can be in favor of Ted Cruz being eligible to even run for any public office.
1) He was not born on American soil. A position which he stated was needed to be President when ask about Obama’s eligibility.
2) He admits he was never “naturalized” a process needed to be a citizen even having been born to a mother who was because he was not registered as a citizen at birth and brought into the country before this process was done.
Actually, he is not eligible to hold the office of U S Senator if the issue were properly pressed; so how could he legally become President?
Cruz will be known as another Benedict Arnold if he sells out to Clinton and she puts extreme liberals in the Supreme Court for a generation. He can forget 2020.
Cruz, if you backstab Trump, you will never be POTUS! Originally you were my choice, but some of the things you said and done made me change my mind. If you ever want true Conservatives to back you, you had better support Trump whole heartedly!
yes, don’t tick off Donnie or u will have no support in the future, totally agree ……
If Cruz wants loyalty in his bid for the presidency in 2020 then he better get himself and his supporters behind Trump No loyalty now, no loyalty down the road If Kasich wants my vote when he seeks the presidency in 2020 he had better get over being a baby and get behind Trump All Republicans who want loyalty had better get behind Trump He is the candidate Support him
TRUMP IS A GOOD MAN THAT LOVES OUR BELOVED AMERICA AND HAS A POSITIVE AGENDA. WE HAVEN’T HAD THAT IN NEARLY 8 YEARS AND THIS COUNTRY IS TRULY SUFFERING DUE TO EVIL INTENT. AS IT’S ROLLING OUT, TRUMP IS ALSO A WONDERFUL FATHER, BUSINESSMAN, AND PERSON WITH A BIG HEART. YOU CAN’T BEAT THAT RECIPE. WHAT AMERICA NEEDS NOW THAT IT’S NEARLY CIRCLING THE DRAIN, IS A PITBULL BUSINESSMAN SURROUNDING HIMSELF WITH INTELLIGENT, SEASONED, HONEST, LOYAL PEOPLE OF INTEGRITY – SOMETHING ELSE THAT’S BEEN MISSING OF LATE. I STAND FIRM WITH THIS MAN OF CHARACTER. JUST WAIT AND SEE HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IN AMERICA CAN BE AGAIN. GIVE HIM A CHANCE AS THIS WILL TAKE TIME, BUT … HE’S UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. GOD BLESS HIM AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.
… ONE MORE THING. CRUZ AND KASICH ARE SORE LOSERS. THEIR BEHAVIOR INDICATES THAT, AND ALWAYS WATCH BEHAVIOR. WORDS ARE CHEAP. ACTIONS TELL THE TRUE STORY. KASICH SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF – BUT HIS NON-SUPPORT AND NOT ATTENDING THE RNC IS NO BIG LOSS FOR ANYONE BUT HIM. CRUZ IS A GOOD MAN WITH HONORABLE VALUES FOR OUR COUNTRY, BUT IS HE ‘SNEAKY’? TIME WILL TELL. SO DISAPPOINTING. NO MORE STATESMEN.
It is time HE (CRUZ) pack the suit case and move back to Canada or Cuba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Cruz is indeed conservative must support Donald Trump, otherwise he is not. The rest of the kabuki dance is a joke and the wimps who did not attend the convention should feel ashamed.
Melania delivered a tremendous speech underlined by honesty, warmth and class. A fascinating lady. A real person.
Donald Trump Jr. gave a great speech last night, we are proud of the wonderful Trump Family.
Donald Trump will be our next president, he will make history not only for America but also for the world!
So my only question about this is: If those first-day resolutions would have passed, would Ted Cruz and his supporters then switch without regret to supporting Donald Trump in the November election?
If the rumors of this stunt are true, I can guarantee one thing: Ted Cruz will never be the Republican party nominee for President in his lifetime. Or anyone else’s, for that matter.
Cruz I was originally for you, But I decides on Trump, You need some Honesty, and a little less cheating in the Primaries If there is a future for you. We will see tonight
As far as Kasich WOW! he demonstrated all characteristics who define a non leader. No wonder he got only his state.
What a pitiful and small time character!
@ Bud Webster: I agree with you 100%. I am so afraid the votes will be rigged. The Crooked Clintons have gotten away with worse then that, so what’s to stop the vote from being rigged?????
Cruz was the last best chance we had at restoring our republic. Americans are / were too dumb to pick up the ball and run with it. We are so screwed now no matter who gets in. We will reap what we have sown and I use “we” very loosely.
Make no mistake about this election. It is about 1 thing only. The Supreme Court. All of you Cruz bots that will not back Trump are delivering the election to Hillary and I will warn you now that there will be no America left to vote for in 2020. There will be nothing for Cruz to run for because the America we love will have fallen to the liberal progressive once and for all. They will have control for generations to come. You Cruz bots need to suck it up and get behind Trump and tell Cruz to do the same while we still have an America to save. If you don’t the death of our country will be on your heads.
I USED to have a lot of respect for Cruz. That is in the past. He is as bad a loser as the Bushes.What they all fail to accept is that Donald Trump did not defeat them in the primaries. WE THE PEOPLE defeated them all. It didn’t matter that Trump called them all liars and when the facts were examined it was found to be that Trump was correct.. The fact is that we are tired of being lied to by these career politicians. It is they that have put this country into the sorry position we are in at present. We don’t need another politician in the White House. We need real people there. Ted Cruz is a career politician. We don’t need him in the White House. Hillary Clinton does not even come up to the level of career politicians. She should just flat out be in prison.
Ted Cruz is a sneaky, underhanded, mean tempered son a a man whose father fought for Castro.
Cruz is probably not qualified (as a home-grown American) to legally be president (just as Obuma isn’t)1
Mr. Trump appears to be the lesser of all evils in this election so G-D help us if Miss Hillary actually wins!!
As a former Cruz supporter, I’m very disappointed.
Which is more important to Ted Cruz …….. HIS “CAREER” …….. or SAVING America by defeating Hillary?
Donald Trump was not my first choice, but that is how the process works. He has received the nomination and all Republicans need to come together to help him win in November. While Donald may not be everything some of us hoped, he is likely to be more supportive of our issues than Hillary Clinton will be.
It is foolish to undermine Donald Trump in hopes of positioning a different candidate for 2020. We already have one vacancy on the Court. If Hillary wins it is likely the other aging liberal justices will begin to retire so a liberal president can choose their replacement. The justices appointed during the next four years may be on the bench for 40 years. I’m sorry, but I don’t understand the logic of allowing the Court to be packed with liberal judges for the next 30-40 years so a different Republican can run in 2020. Although I agreed with many of Ted Cruz’s policy positions I have questioned his eligibility to serve since he entered the race. Ted Cruz was born in Canada. A literal reading of the Constitution would lead me to believe he does not meet the natural born citizen requirement.
Ted Cruz will hurt himself if he turns his convention speech into an opportunity to be a sore loser. I’ve mentioned that I would like to see him appointed to the Supreme Court. That isn’t likely to happen if he embarrasses Donald Trump.
I like what you stated, but NO CRUZ ON THE SUPREME COURT! Cruz is corrupt. He is a sell out and a liar. We need honest judges on the supreme court who will do what they are supposed to – determine if something is constitutional and not make law by pulling it out of their party’s asss.
SOME ONE JUST REMIND ME OF HILLARY FIVE ADBORTIONS
4 DIE AND THE #5 WAS NAME TED CRUZ…
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN AMERICA…
Should Cruz pull a dandy out of his biased mind, he will never be able to win another office . He will be banned from running as a Republican for life. I really don’t mind if that happens. I thought he might turn out to be a good candidate, but now it’s for sure that he is radical, non-Republican and does not belong running on any ticket sponsored by Republicans,.
All you dummies that still support Cruz – maybe now you can see that Cruz is a lying shyster lawyer who is owned by the Bushes and other corrupt establishment clowns who would rather have Hillaroid than Trump because Trump threatens their power over the corrupt cash cow they have been milking at our expense.
It’s not “slimy” for Ted Cruz to not endorse the man who verbally attacked his wife on Twitter and accused his father of participating in the assassination of JFK (Trump later admitted there was no truth to that insinuation). It’s called loyalty to your family. It’s not “slimy” for Ted Cruz to have future political ambitions, especially given the strength of his support among conservatives. It’s not “slimy” for Ted Cruz’ supporters to have made a last ditch effort to allow delegates to be free to vote their conscience, especially those who were tied to Marco Rubio and Ben Carson from early primaries. The Sen. Cruz we voted into office in Texas will not do anything to embarrass the only chance our country has now to prevent Hillary from being in the White House, which will end America as we know it. He’s a Christian with both character and intelligence, and cares about the future of the United States. Watch the speech. You’ll be impressed with him, whether you supported him in the primaries or not. This author is using inflammatory language that is destructive and unfair to a Senator who has worked tirelessly to defend our country from both liberal-progressive-socialist politicians and establishment RINOs who are destroying our country with corruption and socialistic policies, and should be ashamed. It takes good men and women in all areas of government to fight against the spread of corruption, and denigrating them only discourages good men and women from even being willing to participate in government. Thank you, Sen. Cruz.
Thanks, very well written……….
I have an idea that he will basically support Trump but knowing Cruz will slip in something sly and sneaky yet be hard hitting. Cruz cannot resist this.
And I cannot believe this bovine of a Canadian will run in 2020 having never proven what country he belongs too, like the foreigner sodomite negro currently up there.
*********TO THE STATE OF TEXAS*******************
PLEASE EXECUTED YOUR SENATOR.
****HE IS A TRAITOR AND A LIAR…****************
TED CRUZ, YOUR DAYS AS REPUBLICAN ARE OVER.
YOU WILL GO DOWN ON HISTORY AS A LIAR AND A TRAITOR.
THE STATE OF TEXAS SHOULD BE SHAME ON YOU…
TAKE YOUR FAMILY AND MOVED BACK TO CANADA WERE YOU WERE BORN.
TED CRUZ MOTHER IS HILLARY.
HE WAS GOING TO BE THE SIX ABORTION, BUT SHE CHANGE HER MIND.
actually, he is an abortion that somehow survived!
A number of semi-liberal senators have said that Cruz was a real jerk. Until now I didn’t believe them and then I heard his speech at the convention and saw what they were talking about. Trump was the winner and Cruz needed to put on his big boy pants and support him and he didn’t. Even though I’m supporting the Johnson/ Weld Libertarian Party ticket I would like to see Trump elected before Cruz. Cruz acts like a spoiled brat.
Cruz accomplishes very little, but doesn’t let other accomplish much. Hillary only lets people accomplish, if you pay her.
I really don’t see much difference between the two as power over every one determines their methods. Cruz proved he places himself above the party, above a unified effort, Cruz is in it, for himself, just like Hillary.
Cruz has relinquished himself to the dustbin of failed political reasoning’s with his speech, something that will haunt him with his great memory.
The people of this country have voted Trump as there choice to run for president , if Cruz does anything to stop that then Hillery will be elected as the people will think that the republicans can’t get there act together. They will shoot them self’s in the foot. It was the peoples choice not Cruz’s
Wow. !!
Was I ever WRONG!! Lyin Ted is an idiot. He will NEVER be President!! Of the USA. Never!!!
My apologies to the author of this story. They were right. He is a MORON.
Never would I vote for a low life scum bag like Lyin Ted
TRUMP/PENCE!!!
Yes were you ever wrong. Cruz placed loyalty to his wife and father over that of loyalty to Trump. Most people would do the same. If you wouldn’t, then that would definitely qualify you as a low-life scumbag moron.
This is what comes from all the personal attacks that do not bear directly on the issues. Cruz made a valiant effort but he lost. Someone needs to tell him that it is time to get over himself and move on. He needs put aside his personal difference and consider the good of the nation. We must all rally to the cause of freedom.
Well said!!!!!!!!!
Donald called it – Lyin Ted! ‘nough said about the TED. Time tells the truth. Nobody wants someone with attitude!
Is there any truth to the rumor that Cruz, and Lindsey Graham, flew on Air Force One and had a discussion with Obama, and Hillary Clinton, just before the Convention, in order to discuss how to split the Republican vote? If so. both Cruz and Graham should be thrown out of the party and no further funds should go to either. If true, what corrupt and dishonest garbage they truly are.
n addition to the shameful behavior of Lying Ted, someone needs to write a scathing article about Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, both whom have publically declared they will not vote in the upcoming election. These people especially should be GOOD examples for the general public; not encourage people to not vote. That’s unAmerican. History has proven Socialism does not work. This coming election is a turning point in the direction our country will take. Everyone needs to go to the polls and vote for Donald Trump.
