CNN people abusing Ted Cruz backstage?????

Havent seen nay of the RNC today.

But CNN, are saying once Ted got backstage it got extremely nasty, people got into face and started
calling him a disgrace, among other things.

What did he say in his speech?

Was it only because he didnt endorse trump??

And when he came to a passage about voting in November, instead of telling everyone to vote for tRump, he said,"Vote your conscience."
That caused a ruckus, but he didn't say anything worse than that.

how cool would it have been if they'd just let him whale on him for awhile?

hey! that's GOOD!

The copy of the speech Cruz advanced to the RNC was not the one he delivered.
The bait-and-switch didn't go over so well.

"Lucifer in the flesh" and "the most miserable SOB I have ever dealt with".

I guess this is exhibit A for why that he thought that way.

This is the end of Cruz. Rockefeller and Romney were hurt in 1968 by not endorsing Goldwater.

Trump handed Cruz the hari kari knife, and he stuck it in with relish !
