..... And to those listening, please, don’t stay home in November. Stand, and speak, and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution. That would be a sort of endorsement, if Trump were the kind of person people “trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.” [ Not a single Trumptard thinks Trump is that kind of man. Their reaction PROVES IT! And Trump himself isn't even pretending he is!!* ]* After all, Cruz is encouraging people to vote and not stay home, and to vote for freedom-and-Constitution-defending candidates both up and down the ticket. But of course, a lot of conservative voters don’t think Trump is that sort of person, and so a lot of Trump supporters at the convention appeared furious at Cruz, booing and carrying on in exactly the manner one would expect. I don’t know what Cruz should have done instead. Stay away from the convention and he’s criticized for not being a team player. Endorse Trump and he’s selling out his principles as well as supporting a man who insulted his family in the vilest of terms. Don’t endorse Trump and Cruz is a traitor to the party and to the pledge he supposedly signed. I think he did exactly the right thing, but I am probably in a rather tiny minority on that. And I think Trump and his people should have done exactly what Newt Gingrich did in his speech, in which Newt was uncharacteristically gracious (although characteristically intelligent): “Now, I think you misunderstood one paragraph of Ted Cruz — who is a superb orator — said,” the former House speaker said. “And I just want to point it out to you. Ted Cruz said you can vote your conscience for anyone who will uphold the constitution. In this election, there is only one candidate who will uphold the constitution.” The crowd let out a raucous cheer. “So, to paraphrase Ted Cruz, if you want to protect the constitution of the United States, the only possible candidate this fall is the Trump-Pence Republican ticket. That way, we have a Republican ticket to implement Republican principles in Washington.” In other words, treat it as an endorsement, and move on. But hey, that would run counter to the circular firing squad that is the GOP, counter to the Trump campaign, counter to the way this past year has gone so far. http://neoneocon.com/2016/07/21/the-rnc-day-3-the-consciences-of-conservatives/#comment-1430909 This all shows Trump WANTS DRAMA and STRIFE and he DOESN'T want to beat Hillary. If he did, he'd have taken this opportunity to seek unity, like Gingrich did.
