  • Attacks his wife, publicly calling her a hag

  • Accuses his dad of being behind the JFK assassination

And here Cruz is, standing up to this classless bully with a twitter account.

[–]jonnyp11 186ポイント187ポイント  (13子コメント)

I saw the JFK thing earlier, but I forgot about Trump insulting his wife, along with numerous insults to Ted himself I'm sure.

They call the left cucks all day, but boo the shit outta the one guy that holds his ground

Edit: earlier autocorrect decided cuck=fuck, but cucks=cycle? Get your shit together Google...

Nah, Cruz is totally Draco. Acts horrible shit because he thinks he deserves better, but not willing to endorse metaphorical Hitler for the same reasons.

[–]Anagoth9 58ポイント59ポイント  (3子コメント)

True, then again the previous Republican Speaker of the House called him "Lucifer in the flesh", so I'm pretty sure he doesn't give two fucks what the party thinks of him at this point.

[–]kthanx 29ポイント30ポイント  (2子コメント)

Everybody in the GOP already hated him, so it's nothing new.

[–]DanburyBaptist 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Graham thinks he's a funny guy. But it's quite false that "everyone in the party hates Cruz." Millions of Republicans voted for him. It is specifically the entrenched politicians in Washington that he's been fighting the past few years who hate him.

[–]TitoTheMidgetLow-Energy Cuck 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, sure - but then again, Graham was only talking about Republican politicians, not Republican voters. Clearly, at the very least, Texas Republicans like Cruz better than any alternative offered by Texas Democrats. But Graham isn't the only one to express the sentiment that basically everyone in the Senate hates him.

      I haven't been to mass in years, what does that Latin mean?

      [–]WalrusofApathy 34ポイント35ポイント  (10子コメント)

      It's Lorem Ipsum, the Latin doesn't actually mean anything, it's just a bunch of random words and meaningless phrases strung together.

      It normally used as a block of text that editors use to fill in space while they show off the graphical look of a document or presentation, or anywhere that needs text to look right but they don't want to actually have to write in anything.

            At least he has a sense of honor.

            Being Chris Christie and mostly engaging others during the campaign, or Scott Walker and bailing out early is one thing-- but people like Rubio and Cruz would be spineless to support Trump.

            If someone talked about myself or my family like Trump did, I'd burn the fucker's house down, not endorse him for president.

                        A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

                        The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

                        Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."

                        Can't believe I've never heard that before. Apparently it's a common parable, but more often told as "The Scorpion and the Frog" rather than Fox.

                        What a simple yet poignant, and very dark commentary on the reasoning behind horrible, seemingly illogical acts.

                          Trump is just an egomaniac. Cruz is a fiercely intelligent weasel of a lawyer (who spent years working with SCOTUS cases and the like) who knows how to manipulate the system left and right and that combined with his religious zeal scares me more than Trump building a wall or a giant statue of his head in DC for us to remember him by. Cruz has always had a shitty personality if you look back at most of the people he ever worked with.

                                Idunno. I think, like our hypothetical Saruman, Cruz is just playing the long game while maintaining plausible deniability. He's pretty sure Trump will lose so he's going for the "I told you so", but he doesn't want anyone to say he was actually opposed.

                                [–]Iowa_Viking 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                That's my mindset as well. If/when trump gets stumped, Cruz wants his hands as clean as possible for 2020.

                                              Trump insulted Cruz's wife and insinuated his father had some kind of association with Lee Harvey Oswald. Of course he wasn't going to endorse lol

                                              Didn't he shit all over Chris Christie too though? And he pretty much became Trump's whipping boy.

                                              It only looks like that. Christie was actually hollowed out and the "Christie" you think you see is John Miller wearing his skin.

                                              This week has included Melania Trump blatantly plagiarizing the first lady and Roger Ailes being fired for being a creep (which, I honestly thought was part of the reason he was hired in the first place). ANYTHING is possible now, friend.

                                              You just KNOW Christie has forced his wife to make him a glass of sugar water before.

                                                That's true. Cruz stuck around longer so there was more mud to sling and it was more recent. Chris Christie either has the memory of a peanut, the morals of a mafia boss or is in it for the cabinet position. My bet is a combination of all three.

                                                I bet he won't even get the cabinet position. Trump will go "I lied to you. I don't care about you or anyone else. Go back to Jersey."

                                                Christie & Trump are both insiders from the same politicial scene in their part of the country. I'm sure the NY Republicans hate Trump less than Texas or Utah Republicans.

                                                  Same with Ben Carson. Some politicians are more sell outs than others. It can also be due to how irrelevant Chris Christie was becoming compared to Cruz who still has a shot next election which hints that he senses that Trump is going to lose in the general.

                                                  Everyone knows Christie has always been a spineless piece of shit though. Say what you will about Cruz, but he's a man of principle.

But, it takes a shit ton of nerve to face your party and defy them, especially in his position. Probably a smart move (calculated gamble) on his part in the long-term, if Trump loses.

                                                                      While Cruz was already disliked by a number of his colleagues, and tended to defy them anyway (the shutdown, specifically), it was still a ballsy move. And it has earned some degree of respect from me, for not bowing down to Trump like so many others in his party have.

Meanwhile trump takes a massive shit on what is reasonable and sets up a demagogue on the grave of the GOP that was respectable

I wouldn't say I respect him for believing that discrimination against gays or outlawing abortion is A-OK. He has balls for upstaging Trump at the convention, but I'm not going to suddenly pretend that I respect his Bible-thumping policy positions.

                                                                          Hell if i was to talk about conflicting ideologies I would hate him, me and most people would. . But I wouldn't hesitate for a second to take him as a lead debater or lawyer if given the chance. He is not to be underestimated.

                                                                                  Then people started chanting trying to get an endorsement out of him, he refused, and then there was some more booing and shouting. Here's a video of the crowd: https://twitter.com/gmoomaw/status/755944853519818753

                                                                                  Edit: here's the full speech if you want to see it, the drama starts at around 19 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ythfH1KhNKU

                                                                                  IMO the "drama" doesn't start at 19 minutes. It's the entire speech. You have to watch the entire speech for the full effect. The entire speech includes language that echoes much of the sentiments of Trump critics. I caught on at 6:55 when he mentions that the U.S. is not run by a dictator. Seems to be intentional wording for a speech that aims to subtly attack an authoritarian strongman.

                                                                                  He never talks about strength, might, or greatness. He talks about freedom and the constitution. He avoided the typical Trumpian talking points in favor of his own. He says to cast aside anger for love. He says hatred is tearing America apart. And shockingly for Cruz, he defends Muslims, atheists, and gays. What a toppsy-turvey moment that was. These things are anathema to the Trump ticket.

                                                                                  I despise Cruz, and obviously disagree with significant portions of the speech. It seems that people are hung up on the non-endorsement. But the speech itself was rhetorically brilliant. It opens up with a bait-and-switch to get people listening, then he delivers the message without alienating the negative audience, saying many things that the negative audience probably agrees with, then slowly builds up to the "moment." And when the "moment" happens, he selectively uses the word "conscience," a buzzword for anti-Trumpers in the GOP, who wished for the delegates to vote with their conscience. Oh, and it is delivered it in a way that makes you finally realize why he is a well-regarded college debate champion. And of course it is topped by the simple audacity of Cruz delivering it at this Trump convention.

                                                                                  The speech made me really glad that Trump won the nomination as opposed to Cruz. Cruz is terrifying, and he demonstrated the persuasive ability and oratorical skills to actually defeat Hillary Clinton in a 1v1 debate.

He's just getting ahead of the curve so in four years he can say "I never bowed to Trump, I stand for true conservative principles" and other such bullshit.

                                                                                    Dude's a fucking rat but it was still nice to hear he didn't endorse Trump.

                                                                                    This moment reminds me of a time 8 years ago when John Mccain, who I disagree with on most policy issues, got booed by his own supporters for showing the most basic respect and decency towards his opponent Obama.

                                                                                    The sheer insanity of what those supporters in the video are saying is beyond belief, and it is exactly bullshit of that magnitude which Trump has successfully used for his campaign. I've been watching this video every time I have needed a dose of anti-bullshit in the past months. It works!

                                                                                    It takes balls to stand in front of a room full of charged supporters and tell them something they don't want to hear. Trump and other pure populists remind me of those alien monsters in Rick & Morty who try to manipulate and control people by injecting memories into their brains. The only way they could be distinguished from real people was the fact that they were only capable of showering their victims with happy memories that made them feel good. If there was any evidence of Trump being able to tell a crowd something they didn't want to hear he might deserve at least that tiny bit of respect, but there is absolutely none. The only case you might argue were in the debates, but those people were supporters of other candidates and not the ones he was addressing. Otherwise, he will say whatever people in that particular room want to hear, even if it clashes with something he said to other people the day before.

                                                                                    Mccain in that video and Cruz at the convention may be aware of what they are doing and even self-serving (in Cruz's case), but the fact they are not willing to throw any and every principle under the bus when faced with a charged or angry crowd deserves at least the most basic of respects.

                                                                                    [–]JosefStallion 16ポイント17ポイント  (3子コメント)
