RNC sources: @tedcruz "speech different than version he gave RNC in advance." Officials + Cruz had to be physically separated after. #GOP

1. so day one and three

Have been all about the speeches and not in a good way.

They must be so gutted with the convention.

[C_U_L8R]

2. Apparently Trump has a problem with conscience

Probably because he ain't got one.

[Gabi Hayes]

3. I miss david shuster. what was it he did that got him banished?

funny that stuff like that NEVER happens to the crazy side of the spectrum

[6chars]

7. agree. good guy.

[csziggy]

23. He made a boo boo

Indefinite suspension from MSNBC
On April 6, 2010, MSNBC announced that it had suspended David Shuster for an "indefinite period" after the network learned from press reports that Shuster, and Michel Martin of National Public Radio, had taped a pilot episode for a new show on CNN without the formal approval of MSNBC.

He ended up working for Current TV and Al Jazeera America. I'm not sure what he's done since Al Jazeera America shut down.

He was great with Tameron Hall afternoons on MSNBC. This interview in particular was a thing of beauty!

31. Seems like Lawrence O'Donnell had a confrontation

with her, too.

[csziggy]

32. Yeah - Orly made the rounds and lost every discussion nt

[lindysalsagal]

4. You go, Ted!

I hate it when I like Ted.

[Glimmer of Hope]

9. Woo hoo!! I am confused too.

[Wednesdays]

5. It's time for me to get a snack

[Daemonaquila]

6. Delish! Texas will be rid of Gasbag Ted!

Good luck running for reelection loser! (Now we just have to worry about them trying to promote Gohmert or Farenthold... eeeeew.)

[King_Klonopin]

21. Hard to say, this may help Cruz in Texas...

Do the Texas republican/conservatives like Trump, or do they
politely abhor him ? I would bet the wealthy ones think he's
just awesome, but the evangelical nut-jobbers hate him.

[demtenjeep]

8. I refuse to watch this shit show

what happened

[Miles Archer]

13. Check Video & Multimedia. I posted the clip there. It's spellbinding.

Seriously, it was a kamikaze attack.

[Eric J in MN]

25. Ted Cruz said 'vote your conscience' instead of 'vote for Trump.' NT

NT

[tallahasseedem]

10. Then for the first time in my life...

I'll hand it to Cruz for handing the Trump campaign the third straight night of shit!

[nadine_mn]

11. I did something similar 25 yrs when I spoke at my HS graduation

I gave the principal and administration one version..the standard blah blah

Then I started with "When I look out at the sea of faces...I don't just see classmates. I see future doctors, lawyers, jailbirds. I see teachers, nurses and druggies". It went downhill from there.

Some teachers went bright red, some completely pale...ahhh it was a beautiful thing. My younger cousins kept asking my grandparents to play "the funny speech that got Nadine in trouble"

Of course Cruz would steal my schtick

[Gabi Hayes]

14. did you make a tape?

it would be awesome to hear it

[bullwinkle428]

12. So Trump got SCHLONGED by Cruz???

[Miles Archer]

15. Yeah. Cruz was there for Cruz and NO ONE BUT Cruz.

Congratulated Trump for winning the nomination in his opening remarks and never...said...his...name...again after that.

As many pundits have already astutely pointed out, this accomplished two purposes:

1). Cruz planting the seeds for a 2020 run, and

2). Payback for the remarks Trump made during the Primaries regarding Cruz, his wife, and his father.

[kestrel91316]

16. This clusterf--k is the gift that keeps on giving.

[Johonny]

17. It was probably hard to get the one written in crayon on the teleprompter

[book_worm]

18. Well for once Cruz did the right thing.

[roamer65]

19. Ted Cruz basically endorsed Gary Johnson with his remarks.

I think the Johnson-Weld ticket will be at 20 percent very soon.

[oasis]

20. Ratfucked the Trumpster.

[glennward]

22. So Trump lied again about having seen it before hand. nt

[suffragette]

24. Hmm, so my idle speculation on another thread may have been correct after all.

26. Cruz's Cersei Lannister moment.

Both of them are despicable evil scoundrels, but notwithstanding, you somehow have to tip your hat to their acts of vengeance.

[geek tragedy]

27. Shuster has been a highbrow version of HA Goodman this election cycle so I'm dubious nt

[liberal N proud]

28. They might not have let him on stage if they had seen the real speech

[CobaltBlue]

29. He's young (for a politician). Old R pols are headed in one direction—the graveyard. (Thank you!)

This may not be a problem, in the future, for Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.

But, personally, I actually don't care about his future or Anything Ted Cruz.

He never stood a chance at the presidency because, quite frankly, people find him repulsive. (He carried only 11 states in the Republican presidential primaries and lost in areas with demographics he should have won.)

If electing the closest image of Satan are voters' mission for electing a president of the United States…okay, then, Ted Cruz would have been elected, here in 2016, to become the 45th president of the United States.

[Rex]

30. Not a surprise, Cruz has to be livid losing to a side show barker with a dead weasel on his head.

After all these decades of Cruz Sr. prepping Baby Cruz for his role in bringing Jesus back to earth. It must be killing Cruz inside, hurting his yuuuuuge ego in ways nobody has ever hurt it before.



It would be one thing to lose to an elder politician, Trump is none of that.

[czarjak]

33. Love the obligatory slave reference....

Teddie.

[joeybee12]

34. This exposes another lie from tRump because immediately he tweeted he had

seen the version Cruz gave, and didn't care.
