Remember Ted Cruz, the Senator who made his hate speech against Nigerians some years back? So the big news is that Ted Cruz the first runner up was invited to be a speaker at the RNC and he shocks everyone by not giving Donald Trump an endorsement. Who the hell put him on the speaker's list? Is he a Reagan Democrat or a mole for the DNC? Anything is possible these days. He says Trump has slammed his family. So family as they say comes first. I don't even understand how Cruz could even be a candidate for President when he was BORN in Canada. I thought you had to be born inside the country. He's just bitter for nothing. My take!
After getting booed during his address at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, Ted Cruz this morning defended his decision not to endorse Donald Trump after the real estate mogul’s attacks on his family during the primary campaign.
“I am not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and attacks my father,” Cruz told the Texas delegation at a breakfast in Cleveland.
He added, “That pledge [to endorse the eventual nominee] was not a blanket commitment that if you go and slander and attack Heidi, that I'm going to nonetheless come like a puppy dog and say, ‘Thank you very much for maligning my wife and maligning my father.’
Further defending his RNC speech, in which declined to endorse Trump, Ted Cruz said Trump knew the contents of his speech before its delivery, including the absence of an endorsement.
“He didn’t ask me to endorse, and indeed, three days ago I talked on the phone with him and told him, ‘I’m not going to endorse you,’” Cruz said.
He went on to characterize his speech Wednesday night as an “outline” of how to win the election in November and said Republicans won’t win if the “dominant word” Americans hear between now and then is “Trump.”
