Lyin' Ted steals Wednesday

Are you aware it was the NY delegation that started whipping up the boos choreographed perfectly to when Trump made his entrance into the hall? Trump didn't have to let him speak. He knew he wasn't going to be endorsed.

The entire convention hall was unified for trump and against cruz. What cruz did, did not play well to cruz's base, and they are more likely to fall into Trumps fold now.

The media is always going to focus on whatever juicy thing happened in the short term. In the long term though the meh trump supporters and the cruz contingent are more likely to be in trump's corner now.
excellent analysis!
Cruz's needless petulance gives permission to his followers to abandon him and unify behind Trump.

Yes they had to sacrifice some media driven conflict -and short term tonight looks bad in the highly choreographed modern convention.
But he convention fades into the campaign, and the party comes out more unified .

It's like some kina Freudian gestalt thing :rolleyes:
 
So I'm listening to my left wing radio on the way home and they claimed Cruz endorsed Trump. Doesn't seem to have happened.

You can probably find his speech on youtube. He pretty much used all of trumps talking points then told people to come out on election day instead of staying home and vote their consience. The main fear with teds people was that they would stay home and not that they would vote hillary.

But he did not say "I endorse trump"

I guess tlking heads will read into it what they want.
 
well this one is certainly not scripted! It's cool to see some bare knuckles politics.
Cruz gives me the creeps - and much of his speech I don't agree with; him being Tea Party.
But I did like his call to act our conscience ..I'm a sucker for patriotism. even when it's worn on one's sleeve :)

Eric Trump was pretty good. I'm starting to really like the kids.
The line about Oprah asking years if Trump would ever run for POTUS.. "Only if I have to!"

the problem with the kids is that now its hard to decide who to support in 2024 don jr or ivanka. They are both amazing and would be great to continue the legacy. I would have thought ivanka 100% but don jr impresses me everytime he speaks.

jeese. you're ALL IN for the Trumps huh?
Look I think he might be the best thing (since Bernie didn't make it) to overthrow "the establishment" -
and hopefully he wouldn't be brain dead like Obama and Clinton; too wedded to international politics as usual to look out for US interests above all.
In other words they are consummate "globalists"

But Trump still has to overcome gross media bias, and the tendency for Americans to say they want change
and then vote straight ticket status quo.

In other words it's a long uphill slog. Populism is very hard to make happen in the USA.
He got this far, and if he can KEEP HIS MOUTH shut-while still energizing Americans who really are committed
then he's got a good chance -since Hilary is also loathed at about 60%.

1 step at a time, Rome wasn't built in a day/election cycle

im just joking :P

except about ivanka she seems like she would make a good leader and would support her over poppa trump.
 
thing1 I am going to make an effort to not just outright dismiss your view points even though I think you are biased af. I'm going to try and give you the benefit of the doubt.

You are reasonably polite on here so I'll try to respond in kind to you.

I might crack after a day though, we'll see O_O
 
LOL Grind is a mental case who loves anyone he views as "upsetting" liberals. His political "observations" are not to be taken seriously.

I remember how he cried when Obama won. I expect a repeat in a few months.

Nobody gives a shit what a cunt like you thinks, except for Rana, your devoted handbag dog, and the brain dead Darlaks.

You are fellow sociopaths, which was why you sucked up to him so much in the past. It is a
was only when you realised that he wasn't as malleable as you thought that you changed your opinion.

The funny thing with this silly season? Hillary is dead in the water.....only in America could someone like the Donald win an election due to the incompetence of their opponent. Its like watching a footrace and hoping beyond hope that both trip and fall short of the finish line while knowing that one is going to trip and roll across the line to win while the crowd laughs their ass off. All the evidence points to TRUMP in this SPECIAL OLYMPICS EVENT. Go Corky! Go! :clink:

How am I going to "feel"....knowing that someone such as the Donald beat the best that my party had to offer, making everyone realize just what kind of shape the democrat party is in today.....there is only one way to feel...

SAD in just remembering what a noble party the democrat party was at one time that represented the working folks of this Republic.....now being reduced to using a self confessed criminal as the best it can muster...SAD INDEED.....a laughing stock.

Cruz sent out a fundraising email based on this speech last night, LOL. And he doubled down:

"I laid out a very simple standard. We need a president that will defend liberty and be faithful to the constitution."

Cruz has made the political calculation that Trump will lose this election and is positioning himself as the number one contender to take Hillary on in 2020. No one here knows how that's going to play out. Today Cruz's name is shit in the party. What's his name look like a few months from now if his calculations are correct, Trump goes down in flames and takes a good part of his party with him, and there stands Cruz. The one guy who wouldn't play. The one guy who didn't go along.

Do you think Marco Rubio would then be the 2020 nominee? Cause I don't. So we will see how this all works out for Cruz.
 
The best metaphor I've seen---I wish I could claim it lol.

"Ted Cruz took to the podium, doused himself with gasoline and lit the match."
 
When you laugh at the Republican Party....you are laughing at SELF, why? If one is funny and amusing what does that does make the one that is tied at best with the amusing and losing at worst? SAD!:) Why? Because....in order to lose one has to be inferior...just exactly what is less than ZERO? Ain't Logic a "hell of a thing"?

That's the easy wisdom now, and could end up being true.

Cruz placed his bets. His money is on Trump not only losing in nov, but going down so big and bad electorally that the party must have a come to jesus moment.

How's Cruz gonna look then?

That's when we'll know. We don't know today. Anybody who claims they do is a liar or a fool. Plenty of those here.

Cruz....LOST ONCE. What makes you assume he is not an habitual loser.....does recent history teach you at all? What do they call insanity? Witnessing an event yet declaring a different outcome will come NEXT TIME....with nothing having changed. That's insanity. Just a few weeks ago...CRUZ was the stupidest person on the Republic ticket...now today, you need the thing that was declared stupid (CRUZ)...and HOPING with fingers crossed that this stupid person someone changes his spots.

Its true. Politics produce strange bedfellows. Laugh My Proverbial Ass "RIGHT" ...err...."LEFT" off. :palm: Now we have the left DEPENDING upon the RIGHT...the far right....to support their FAR LEFT agenda. Geeze, I need a program.

As I said, and some continue to demonstrate. A laugh at TRUMP is more than a laugh at Hillary....it shows confidence in your candidate....NOT, POPCORN ANYONE...enjoy the show. Its called

Oh please, I can't stand Cruz. He's your dirty laundry, not mine.

He may be a habitual loser, but check your history cause a lot of our Presidents lost before they came back and won.

I am just pointing out that all the people claiming they know what exactly Cruz did last night, really don't. Not yet.
 
Cruz was always the slimiest guy running (and in that field that's saying something huh!!), but he was never the dumbest. Not even close. Guy's not dumb.
 
It's already exceeded my expectations - and Trump hasn't even spoken yet. I have a feeling that's going to be a really memorable capper.

Cruz was just loving it tonight. What a spectacle. The Democrats have to falling over themselves laughing.

I am going to go out on a limb and predict you are going to hate EVERYTHING about Trumps speech.

Ted hurt his career tonight. Too bad for him.
