Ted Cruz clearly thought he was going to have his Ronald Reagan moment when he took to the stage during the Republican National Convention. Instead, he got booed off the stage.
During the 1976 Republican convention, Ronald Reagan narrowly lost his primary fight against incumbent president Gerald Ford. After he lost, Reagan was invited on stage in order to address the divided convention. In his unprepared remarks, Reagan never mentioned the man to whom he lost the nomination. Instead, he delivered a speech so strong that it left the room with a palpable sense that they had nominated the wrong man.
Four years later, Reagan won the Republican nomination in a landslide.
Cruz was clearly trying to emulate that moment when he addressed the convention this week in Cleveland. In an attempt to set himself up for another presidential run in 2020, he committed what many have called “political suicide.”
Cruz stated reason for not endorsing Trump is a very personal one, which will certainly give the impression that he has put himself before the country.
Suicide indeed!
But that’s not all that that Cruz has done that leads one to believe that his motives were completely self-serving. See how Cruz is trying to capitalize on his failed endeavor on the next page:
Cruz is now a bonafide POS in the minds of most Republicans.
I cannot see how he can ever recover from this debacle.
He signed an oath .. that he should of honored… And the excuse he gave was one that he started himself. Just shows that the canadian was only out for himself. tells the people what they want to hear without any intentions of following throught with his word… Which he himself made his words mud…. Hillary doing the same thing and the democrats are to blind to see.
It’s all game.
CRUZ sit down shut up your a washed up nobody.
Getting Booed is the LEAST of his Worries, he is NOT going to get Re-ELECTED next Time!!
To endorse Trump.Is to endorse who he is.whay hes done and what he stands for.
I have to agree with Cruz.Hurt my family.Youre done! I see nothing wrong with Cruz standing his ground by standing by his wife.
I would be delighted to have a husband that would love me that.much.
I doubt it but maybe Donald might learn something from Cruz.About respecting a woman.
He started the whole personal thing himself.
Didn’t he say he had Christian values and morals ? Where’s his forgiveness?
Personal feelings don’t belong in a government job….Cruz needs to take it to the back ally and bury it.
So disappointed with Ted and his rogue approach!!!
