Sometimes, no, most of the time, it seems 75% of the posters here are related to Bozo the Clown. What the heck is going on here???

It's pretty simple, Trump and his supporters have always hated Cruz because he was Trump's main challenger. Trump asked him to speak at the convention and he graciously accepted, unlike Kasich who didn't want to be involved even though he's Governor of the state the convention is being held in.

Cruz made a point to tell viewers to get out and vote and vote their conscience up and down the ticket. Does anyone really believe he was telling them to vote for Hillary? Due to how nasty Trump got towards Ted and his family Cruz wasn't going to actually say the words he endorses Trump, and Donald knew that before Ted's speech. What he said was his way of telling voters to vote Republican for each office. Only reason people are misinterpreting that is because that's how they want to see it. It's disgraceful.

Not only was it disgraceful, it has divided the party by pushing Cruz supporters away from voting for Trump as if he doesn't need their (our) votes. Guess what, he does.

I had decided to hold my nose and vote for Trump to keep Hillary out, but after his shenanigans at the Convention he proved to me he's an even bigger East Coast pr*** than I had realized. I wont be voting for him, and living in a swing state that's not a small thing. If I'm thinking this way many others are as well.

To answer the question, Cruz was booed because the crowd saw Donald waiting in the wings on the screens around the hall. They wanted Cruz off the stage at that point. I'm pretty sure Donald planned that to upstage Ted, which I'm sure is also the reason the screen behind Cruz was having 'technical difficulties'. BS. The venomous hatred from Trump supporters towards Cruz is irrational. It makes no sense whatsoever. The lies that have been told about Cruz throughout the campaign and even now after he spoke at Donald's request are a disgrace to the process. Trump supporters took on Trump's persona and became just as ugly as he's been in his actions and words.

So Trumpeteers, get your butts out on election day. Donald's going to need all of you since he and you turned off so many Cruz supporters. Instead of uniting the party you and Donald decided to continue dividing it. Good luck, you're going to need it. Hopefully for your sakes enough Democrats vote for Trump. You proved you don't want the votes of Cruz supporters by acting so vile and disrespectful towards a man who has more class in the fingernail of his pinky than Trump has in his entire being. Goofballs.

My belief is exactly the opposite.

Trump's character in stock is all about dominance and vanquishing his opponents and humiliating them. Look at how he's gotten Christie to be his servile valet. Look at the way he trash talks his other opponents.

Cruz in his refusal to endorse Trump at his coming out party, pretty much gave him the middle finger. That's got to hurt Don's thin-skinned ego and show him that Cruz could **** in the punch bowl.

And if Trump wasn't upset at Cruz, why did he make some remarks this morning about Cruz?

Yep, that sounds exactly like the Trump strategy, tick off, disrespect, and alienate pretty much EVERYONE, and then ask for their vote. Lol

Cruz ain't no fool. He thinks strategically. Did that as a gamble to position himself in a few years. He didn't have anything to lose at this point.

Trump is going to make a great president and you will soon have to admit how wrong you were. It's OK, we understand..
BS - BS - BS! An ANTI-TRUMP PAC - with NO TIES TO CRUZ (because they had issued earlier ads against Donald directing support to Rubio and other candidates) sent out that FB advertisement WITHOUT any KNOWLEDGE or INPUT from CRUZ or his campaign.

Regurgitating a lie does NOT make it true.

The attack came from Cruz super PAC. It included phrase. OR YOU CAN VOTE FOR CRUZ. And of course Cruz played dumb and never denounced the attack on Melania.
Cruz is a sleazebag. His latest attack yesterday on Christie Christie shows what a low life Cruz is. Cruz chooses a foul way to attack.

The same ANTI-TRUMP PAC had previously issued ads against Donald. The PAC founders have stated that they never supported Cruz, but he was the only viable candidate left in the race against Donald.

Stop lying to yourself and others!!

Make America Awesome

What is the Make America Awesome super-PAC?

We have not until recently done anything in favor of an alternative candidate, though now that it’s clear that mathematically, the only remaining candidate in the race who can beat Trump is Ted Cruz, we have run a couple of ads that are explicitly pro-Cruz, also.
