#1 Actions have consequences.

p.s. Robert Mercer of Long Island and his daughter Rebekah Mercer Wasn't there some Tex here a few days ago who said something along the lines "We Texans won't let some NY money man tell us what to do."?

#4 Cruz is done politically. While I can understand him not doing it because Trump made it personal with his family, there are times in politics you have to show a brave public face while plotting to stab the fucker in the back later.

Cruz failed this test.

#5 I've heard plenty of "He's done" with politicians before, only to see them them survive and come roaring back. Perhaps Cruz won't be President, true enough, but his Career is far from over.

This is just the Mercer's covering their rears from fallout for supporting the "Wrong guy".

#6 Yeah, all cruz needs to do is go on the pipe, like Marion Berry, get caught, go to jail and come out as a born-again democrat. That's the ticket...

#7 Cruz isn't anywhere near done. He will be reelected handily and without money from big name donors.

#8 I'm impressed by the inclusiveness of the Trumpistas. Obviously building a big tent party is a key goal for them.

#9 Probably one of the few time I've agreed with Iblis. That said, it's gonna be a few years until the next election; lots of things will happen between now and them

#10 Yawl just don't get it.

Texas sent Ted Cruz to Washington DC to stick his thumb in Congresses eye. Watching him do the same thing to the whole Trump convention fearlessly and with a smile on his face was a hoot!

Now you know the definition of Tejano. Santa Anna thought Latinos in Texas would support him, but they helped take the Mexican Presidente down at San Jancinto along side Sam Houston. Texas is, different.

God Bless Texas!

#11 I was disappointed in Ted for his reactions to Trump.

I supported Ted after Scott Walker pulled out and I was hoping that Ted's anti-establishment views would prevail and after Trump started winning that he could team up with the Donald and move him to a more conservative anti-establishment narrative but instead they fought like 8th grade girls.

Oh well even if Donald has shades of Mussolini that's still far superior to HRC's Mao crossed with Saddam.\ character.

#12 Hillary is out there and Trump has you people fighting each other instead of her.

What the hell is wrong with you? And with him for starting this crap? An agent provocateur couldn't do any better a job of destroying conservatives than Trump has done.

If this is the response of the GOP and most opposition, we may as well invest in ammo, booze and bunkers out in the wilderness and hope civilization falls before the fascists and communists come for us.

Or better yet become a libertarian and just get stay so high and stoned that I will not care anymore.

#13 Jumpin Jesus on a Pogo Stick! That is something my old Chief used to say when he was struck with some utter stupidity we had committed "on his watch."

How the heck do Rantburg people come up with these appropriate videos?

At least today I got a laugh somewhere among all this bad news and Civil, Well Reasoned Discourse. Thank you for that.
