So, basically, what had happened, right?

Cruz comes out and gives his speech. Doesn't endorse. Tells people to vote their conscience. The delegation from some states tried to chant CRUZ. So the delegation from New York started booing him. He kept talking over the boos.

Trump randomly comes into the arena while he's speaking. The screen behind him goes out. The lights fuck up in the arena. He was supposed to speak for 9. He spoke for 23 minutes. Throwing the schedule off, and knocking Pence out of Prime Time.

They had to escort him and his wife out. And, at one point, physically restrain a donor from physically attacking Cruz.

Holy shiiiittttttt The Red Sox and revs games were awesome but I definitely made a mistake tonight in not watching this. FUCK

 

[metalslimer]

This speech is literally the most generic republican speech you could have given

 

[Grief.exe]

I'm about to start chanting 'we want Trump,' to get this over with.

This speech is literally the most generic republican speech you could have given

That's was the main justification for putting Pence on the ticket.

 

[IggyChooChoo]

The best thing about what Ted Cruz did tonight is it's going to get under Trump's skin so, so badly. He won't let this go. He will drag this story out way longer than it would otherwise last.

So the questions the media will ask that will really get under his skin are updated to include:

Why didn't you prevent Cruz from speaking given you said endorsement was a requirement AND you had the speech in advance?

If Melania is so smart, why didn't she recognize the plagiarized MO quotes she had your hireling type out once she got the final copy of the speech?

If Hillary is so terrible, why are you losing so badly?

 

[Diablos]

Trump pointed at his tits too!

Trump pointed at his tits too!

So.... he's bi? And prefers it face-to-face? Asking for a friend who needs to update fanfic.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Ted Cruz must of known that once he was on the stage, there was gonna be nothing they could do to fucking stop him. Damn smart man.
I hate him but that took massive balls.

 

[Wilsongt]

Gurl, that blue dress does not fit you well at all.

 

[Officerrob]

Trump walking out there for a second and then bolting was fucking weird

@PeteSchroeder (TheHill):

Roger Stone, walking out of convention center, tells me Ted Cruz is a "dumb son of a bitch who thinks he's smarter than everybody else."

HAHAHAHAHA!

I'm going to bed now. Goodnight people

If you thought Ted Cruz was hated in the Senate before...

They're going right into Cruz's speech now that Pence is done.

 

[ampere]

Trump won every battle against Cruz and still loses the war. I don't know if this is a bad or good timeline, but it's funny.

Whoever won was doomed to lose.

Yay for Democrat demographic advantages!

HAHAHAHAHA!

We are gonna have so much Unity folks, its gonna be YUGE and unbelievable!

Ted Cruz is the #1 trending item worldwide right now on Twitter.

This was a GREAT night. We might really see minimal bump.

Ted Cruz has a lot of support. He might actually lose votes....

This might be the most disastrous convention since 1968 for the dems

Cruz is all anybody will be talking about, there is no saving this convention

 

[Diablos]

He didn't want to walk out and greet Pence. His body language implies that he was surprised. I think Pence probably doesn't want to reveal a lot of his true feelings about Trump. After all, he has one job.

 

[User 463088]

They haven't said shit about Pence. It's 100% Cruz time.

AHAHAHHAHAHA. My god this is great.

IF ANYONE POSTS AN IMAGE OF THE TRUMP PENCE KISS I WILL KILL MYSELF

 

[Wilsongt]

Rumplestiltzskin sounded a little tipsy. Like if you got close, you'd smell the whisky on him.

 

[shem935]

So I feel like the Cruz betrayal won't work out well for the party in the end. It puts a stopper on whatever supposed party unity might have come out of this week and worst of all it gives an excuse for the hateful in the party to fall back on when Trump loses.

 

[Officerrob]

That Trump "kiss" is going to get a lot of play

 

[metalslimer]

Apparently they knew he wouldn't endorse....this campaign...

 

[HylianTom]

I started singing the Love, American Style theme song as soon as I saw it. I love that moment!

 

[Plinko]

I'm going to call it right now: Cruz wins the 2020 primary and the GOP changes the rules at the convention to take his spot and give it to someone else.

Everybody in the party hates the guy. Everyone.

 

[Diablos]

Apparently they knew he wouldn't endorse....this campaign...

Trump can't control the party. Plain and simple

 

[Officerrob]

Apparently they knew he wouldn't endorse....this campaign...

They chose to shoot themselves in the foot, just complete incompetence

 

[CygnusXS]

All this and Trump hasn't even given his speech yet.

 

[HylianTom]

And now Clinton's campaign tweets The Kiss with the caption.. "Goodnight."

 

[Tubie]

Goodnight kiss

lmao

What the hell was he thinking.

 

[Iolo]

Leslie Sanchez, the Republican analyst on CBS is pissed about Cruz. (They don't identify her as a Republican strategist though).

[CrimzonSamurai]

Trump should walk out to "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" to fit this fiasco.

[HylianTom]

Even if tomorrow night somehow goes decently for the GOP, Team Clinton has the option of deliberately toying with the press on her VP selection. She gets to step on Trump's dick if she wants to.

This week..

Wasn't even referring to that war. Trump's political ambitions are dead come November, and Cruz has turned a string of defeats at his hands into a springboard to rise again. Trump is really that dumb.

 

[Diablos]

Bernie Sanders supporter on CSpan calling Trump the better man and she'll be voting for him.

He doesn't want any of that. Lol

 

[whyamihere]

What the fuck was that today. What a fucking dumpster fire.

Pence was fine.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

Honestly, forget a bump for Trump after the convention, I think Hillary actually pulls away from Trump by a point or two after this shitshow. It ain't Chicago in 1968, but it's not too far off.
