Cruz embarrassed me and himself. What a jerk for not being a team player. I'll remember this when Cruz is up for re-election.
Maybe if Trump didn't continually insult Cruz and his family during the primaries he wouldn't have been as pissed enough that he was willing to give Trump the big middle finger on national TV. I'm pretty sure that Bernie and Hillary while their fight was sometimes heated they didn't go overboard like the crapshow on the GOP side and Bernie and Hillary will have no problems getting together to defeat Trump and the GOP.

Or are we supposed to expect Trump supporters to act like thugs?

Reports coming out now that the Trump camp knew the content of Cruz' speech prior and let him go on anyway.
This is below minor league.
Worse. Reports are that the Trump camp threatened him by saying they would organize and lead booing against him. And they did... But Cruz stuck to his guns, and did the right thing in his conscience and for his country by not endorsing the most unfit person ever to be nominated by a political party in US history.

I agree that he's a good speaker. I need to research more, but I think he's got some scary views regarding women's rights.

He has principles I don't share but I think he gives a good rousing speech.

He's Presidential.

I know, right? If Pence was running against Nixon I'd have to abstain, but I'm still willing to give credit where it's due.

Dammit Cruz, stop making me think good thoughts about you. You still suck, but good job.

Get this - Rubio didn't even show up in person, but sent in a video. Way to go, Marco.

Actually, that already happened.

In 2008.

Pence is okay as politicians go, not horrible.


But to see liberals praising an evangelical Christian conservative? Miracles do happen.
