I'm going to laugh my ass off if Ted Cruz doesn't endorse Trump tonight. Don't do it Ted! He said your wife is ugly and your daddy helped kill JFK.

 

More seriously, I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that this conspiracy theory nutter got the nomination. I will never fully understand how it came to this.

Cruz is speechifying but pointedly not directly mentioning endorsing Trump by name. The NY delegation is chanting either "we want Trump" or "endorse Trump" over him. They're in revolt. The crowd is erupting in boos.

 

There he goes: No endorsement. The crowd is booing him off the stage en masse. Amazing.

Why am I not surprised?

 

Like you said, Vee, "Lyin' Ted" went out in a good, old-fashioned blaze of glory.

And only his precious Fox covered his speech ….surprised CNN covered it too….ABC, NBC nor CBS covered it.

That was great to see….LOL and Marco with his video and his endorsement …proves why he will never amount to anything….LOL

The GOP can't get enough of using that "What difference does it make at this point?" quote out of context. It's so boring. If I never hear the word Benghazi again it will be too soon. It is tragic that Americans lost their lives but the REPUBLICAN LED investigation was a real thing. It happened. No incompetence was found. Get over it.

The funniest part is Ted Cruz went out of his way not to insult or dismiss Trump for most of the primaries, because he, like most people, thought Trump would flame out. They were fools to let him on the stage, but I'm glad they did. He certainly had no reason to kiss ass, the way losers like Christie have done just so they can get some job in his Cabinet.

Trump personally attacked Cruz's family, so Cruz pretty much paid him back for it. Cruz is already disliked within party circles, which made his future prospects for the presidency dim anyway, so he had zero to lose by doing this. Trump was visibly angry afterwards, he was even angry through most of his own son's speech.

Looks like Ted and wife got a nasty reception (the article doesn't mention it but he was also turfed out of moneybags Sheldon Alderson's suite).

I think the newest spin is that Trump knew about this and it's all a stunt, but I don't know if I buy that. I don't think his ego could take this type of embarrassment.

Now I find Ted Cruz a despicable human being, but honestly he was the only one I heard who talked about the bigger picture and at least he stood by his convictions, as disgusting as they are, unlike the sellouts of Christie and Rubio.  And I wish someone would explain what anyone ever saw in Scott Walker. The guy could win a role as a zombie on The Walking Dead just by being himself.

    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success. 
    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?
