I LOVE Ted Cruz! Like a BOSS!

I LOVE Ted Cruz! Like a BOSS!

I have to say, Cruz gave a really good speech. I think the Trumpers will be disappointed that he didn't directly endorse Trump, even though he did encourage people to vote.

Curious, what do you think of DNC bringing out Michael Brown's mom, given that the entire eruption was based on lies and led to further bloodshed and death that summer?

Not to mention that Lezley and granny rocked up and put a beat down on Michael Brown's step-mom for selling t-shirts; but that's just how they roll... great examples to put out there representing the DNC

He was being booed. Cruz, has probably earned my lifelong adulation. There's absolutely no reason for him to endorse Trump.

Shout out to New York!

Newt! Was he a middle child? Always smoothing out the rifts, bringing everyone together.

 

[Ericpwp]

I think he'll be the SOS pick.

I'm guessing Cruz won't be a Supreme Court nominee at this point.

Unless his pal and INGO favorite Hillary wins in November.

I told you guys he was the man.

Lol, I got respect the consistency. Anyone not for Trump, is by default a Clinton supporter.

Meh, except a thing called 'being a man of your word'. Especially when you double down with a pledge followed by an unambiguous affirmation of that pledge. Glad Ted got upstaged TWICE by Trump today, and booed out of the arena; he deserved it.

BRET BAIER: Gentlemen, this is the last question of the night. It has been a long time since our first debate, seven months ago in Cleveland. A lot has transpired since then, obviously, including an RNC pledge that all of you signed agreeing to support the party's nominee and not to launch an independent run. Tonight, in 30 seconds, can you definitively say you will support the Republican nominee, even if that nominee is Donald J. Trump? Senator Rubio, yes or no?
RUBIO: I'll support the Republican nominee.

BAIER: Senator Cruz, yes or no, you will support Donald Trump is he's the nominee?
CRUZ: Yes, because I gave my word that I would. And what I have endeavored to do every day in the Senate is do what I said I would do. You know, just on Tuesday, we saw an overwhelming victory blahblahblahblahblah.

BAIER: Governor Kasich, yes or no, would you support Donald Trump as the Republican nominee?
KASICH: Yeah. But -- and I kind of think that, before it's all said and done, I'll be the nominee. But let me also say...
BAIER: But your answer is yes?
KASICH: So if he ends up as the nominee -- sometimes, he makes it a little bit hard -- but, you know, I will support whoever is the Republican nominee for president.

WALLACE: Mr. Trump, I'm going to ask you a version of the same question. Can you definitively say tonight that you will definitely support the Republican nominee for president, even if it's not you?
TRUMP: Even if it's not me?
(LAUGHTER)
WALLACE: Thirty seconds, sir.
TRUMP: ... OK -- that I'm very, very proud of -- millions and millions of people have come to the Republican Party over the last little while. They've come to the Republican Party. And by the way, the Democrats are losing people. This is a trend that's taking place. It's the biggest thing happening in politics, and I'm very proud to be a part of it. And I'm going to give them some credit, too, even though they don't deserve it. But the answer is: Yes, I will.
WALLACE: Yes, you will support the nominee of the party?
TRUMP: Yes, I will. Yes. I will.

 

[Kutnupe14]

I told you guys he was the man.

He is, he was my first choice, but now, from here on out, Ill be voting for him every time he's on the ballot.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Cruz can endorse Trump against Hillary without losing his conservative credentials. That's disappointing .

Didn't Trump back out of the pledge also, saying that he had "been treated unfairly?"

I don't think so.

p.s. Horse is actually a jackass.

Lets not get too quick with that blanket statement sir. There are only a tiny few mixed up members who seem to forget this is a gun forum. They are loud and fond of the keyboard, but they are few. You can count them on one hand, maybe two.

Best wishes to the poor lost confused souls. Maybe they'll eventually find a more appropriate forum to express their anti-gun Hillary support and post favorable gun owners posts here on INGO?

NOPE... he supports the nominee and he didn't launch an independent run. He honored the pledge and his promise.

#LyinTed however, not so much. Ironic how his anti-endorsement will only serve to throw a thousand tons of coal into the engine of a fired-up Trump train.

Good luck with that.
