This will be like the prime-time speeches Chris Christie and Rick Santorum gave in 2012 where they barely mentioned Romney but simply pontificated about “conservatism” and how awesome “conservatism” and themselves are.

Wow, I’m surprised to see capitals in this story - I figured Marshall would have had to type this one one-handed.

I take issue here… .most whores I know are actually good people who are not trying to hurt others in the pursuit of their profession. Ted Cruz is making a career on scaring people into hating others that are not like them.

That’s the thing

Nearly two weeks ago, the rule was that a speaker had to endorse Trump or they wouldn’t be allowed on stage.

Between Walker treating Trump like hes Voldamort and now this, be advised that the week ait done yet

slather on the compliments and endorse Trump

The GOP once again imitates Monty Python:

“Your highness, you’re also like stream of bat’s piss …”

“I merely meant your majesty that you shine out like a shaft of gold when all around is dark.”

maybe he wants to make a last-ditch attempt to sway the delegates before the voting happens.

Ted Cruz? Hah! That’s gonna be one stink-pickle of a convention! I thought all the speaking slots at Trump’s soiree were “Totally filled up.” Did Chuck Norris cancel?

Cruz has so far dodged saying whether he’d endorsed Trump and when asked Thursday what else was talked about at the meeting, Cruz said “there was no discussion of any endorsement.”

“If there’s no endorsement, then I would not invite them to speak,” Mr. Trump said in an interview, adding that former rivals like Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio should not expect to address the convention if they continue to withhold their support.

Side-note

“This man is a pathological liar, he doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies … in a pattern that is straight out of a psychology text book, he accuses everyone of lying,” Cruz said as Indiana voters headed to cast their ballots.

May 3rd

One of the keynote speakers at the 2016 GOP convention is a man who tore Trump a new one over that Rafael Cruz/Lee Harvey Oswald picture.

I would love to know which party elder or Trump official signed off on this.

Side-note: Carson shouldn’t be allowed on that platform either

Disagree. Carson should have two hours in prime-time to pontificate on whatever he likes.
