The NEXT shocker from the GOP Convention!
NBC News just reported that "Sen. Ted Cruz walked on stage to extraordinary cheers, and walked off to deafening boos after the Texas senator and former Donald Trump rival failed to endorse the party's nominee at his own convention."
NYTimes backed that up in its report on the evening's speechifying: "In the most electric moment of the convention, a growing chorus of delegates chanted 'Vote for Trump!' and 'Keep Your Pledge' as Mr. Cruz neared the end of his 20-minute speech and it became clear that he was going to snub Mr. Trump... 'I appreciate the enthusiasm of the New York delegation,' Mr. Cruz said dryly about Mr. Trump’s home-state supporters -- only to have Mr. Trump himself, stone-faced and clearly angry, appear suddenly in the convention hall and flash a thumbs-up at the delegates.
"Mr. Cruz was all but drowned out as he asked for God’s blessing on the country and left the stage, while security personnel escorted his wife, Heidi, out of the hall. One delegate yelled 'Goldman Sachs!' at her -- a reference to the company that has employed her, a job that Mr. Trump attacked during the primaries."
So, ANOTHER fuck-up by the Trumpies. There had been a number of his advisors who didn't want to allow Cruz to speak, fearing precisely THIS outcome. Evidently Trump himself overruled them. The man has shit judgment, let's face it...
