A minor cold interfered with this becoming a Sunday post, but Freepers' reaction to DNC protests have thus far been boring smugness, so I thought this worked out. Then Michelle Obama happened...you'll have to wait till tomorrow for that, I'm afraid!
On to what seems like the far past now: Ted Cruz's smirking and open refusal to endorse Trump managed to be somewhat unexpected. Cruz serves only his own ambition, and it really looks to me like Trump is a symptom of a larger, anti-policy movement in the GOP. Cruz joined with the old party leaders, I guess hoping that Trump is a passing thing. This seems silly to me.
Regardless, Freepers hate does not fade, and now their hate for him equals Obama and Hillary! The only real difference in their vitriol and bitterness is that with Cruz, they also hate his supporters. Who do not exist on Free Republic anymore, but who Freepers still
yearn to purge.
WENDLE's hard-on can be seen from space:
This is WAR!!
Mamzelle totally didn't vote Cruz, guys!
Now I understand why the Palins hate him.
I almost voted for him in the primary. At the last moment, I put in for Trump. My gut called it.
Cowgirl of Justice suddenly realizes Cruz is kinda weird:
I saw him interacting with his two girls and it was the weirdest thing I have seen in a loooonnnnng time. It was like there was absolutely no bond between the father and children - almost like he was watching someone else’s kids and they had the same reaction to him.
Just a strange bird.
laconic also seems to just now discover Cruz is really unlikable:
I had read Cruz didn’t have a single friend in the Senate. I could understand not being a friend of Lindsay Graham but there are also good folks there like Jeff Sessions and Jodi Ernst. Tells you something about his character, low.
Perhaps realizing how dumb pretending to have always hated Cruz looks,
Iowamerican goes with the conversion/redemption angle:
To think that I caucused for this dick. FUTC! Go Trump! MAGA!
Fungi wonders if he's Christian. Could sekret Muslim be next?
I did too. I am baffled. Thought he was a Reagan conservative, where is he now? I am doubting he is even a Christian. “You shall know them by their works.” Ted, why, why did you do this?
Ken H is sure this was another Trump masterstroke, though he doesn't specify why:
Why did Trump give him prime time?
Possibly because he knew something like this would happen.
It was a great moment!
datura wants to speak to all the Cruz supporters who have been banned, to tell them they're Democrats. Sick burn:
Note to remaining Cruzlims (you know who you are): Time to find the exit door and join Hillary.
To hell with Cruz,
mkjessup has found the real villain:
“Seems determined to do a Romney”
I keep forgetting about that schmuck. He’s a distant memory.
Oh somewhere Mitt-Witt is trying to get steamed up and failing ...
"Trump ... Trump ... Trump ...
it should been MEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!
gg188 is amazed at the cultish behaviors of the Cruzlims:
It's just amazing----the Cruzlims just can't stop lying. And after humiliating themselves beyond what anyone with an ounce of dignity or self-respect would tolerate---they STILL lie! (Trump said Cruz's dad shot JFK, etc etc etc.)
The frightening part is that a pathological phoney liar like Ted Cruz is able to build a cult around him who are just like him: sociopathic, inveterate liars. Scary. This is that tiny percentage of us capable of becoming serial killers or that back-stabbing co-worker lying his way through life without conscience, oblivious to their own lies.
It's something else that confirms Trump's genius and perception: LYIN' TED. Trump saw it before most of us did. That the one distinguishing, defining and most outstanding characteristic of Ted is his LYING.
Lent is all in on the rumors of Cruz's affair:
The way Amanda Carpenter was vociferously defending her man Ted on CNN tonight and bashing Donald it’s apparent the two shared more than politics.
bushwon is fighting the good fight against Cruz voters like.....
I held some Cruzers to their word today that Cruz would endorse and nailed them for it.
Regarding my post to you, I am just hopefully optimistic that you are correct!! I know Hitlary is going to lie and cheat and Trump will need a landslide to win.
mkjessup found a Freeper who didn't like Trump letting Cruz speak...close enough to a Cruz supporter!
This was a set-up, pure and simple. You could see it in the surprise in Cruz’ face. Trump acted in a vindictive and destructive manner. This was so important to him that he did this even though it is going to cost him votes in November. That’s not the behavior of a leader. It’s not the behavior of a decent human being either.
The time for making excuses and apologizing for that Cuban-Canadian turncoat is OVER!
It's time for you to GTFO!
bert has decided Cruz was whoring. Also totally gonna vote Hillary:
Cruz turns out to be a small, small man. He was already ruined as a result of his whoring that was exposed.
He certainly turned down a deal that would have provided a future that is now gone.
One wonders if he will now focus his anger on the party and vote with the Democrats? One onders if his life is of value any more?
Psalm 144 makes an obscure Biblical reference that even Google can't connect to the Devil. But he manages to!
You Cruzlims are the new sons of Korah. How does that feel, to have aligned with the father of lies and the author of confusion, servantboy777?
