I like how he thinks Republicans care about the court, and that double standards favor Hillary.

Wow, that was an epic not-endorsement.

Cruz just trolled everyone big time. I despise him, but I gotta hand it to him, that was pretty epic.

Honestly, this was probably smart on Cruz's part. In 2020, he can say that he knew Trump would fail, and thus didn't endorse him.

Harry Enten on Twitter posted this video of Cruz leaving the convention hall:

That's funny, but it would've been even more accurate if the bridge were already on fire.

Looks like Newt knows that Republicans are often the most electorally successful when the electorate is scared sh*tless.

Trump is "colorful" and "energetic"? Talk about being PC. Tongue

It's passionate, but full of fluff and blatant lies. Unfortunately, many people will only focus on that first adjective.

Also, Hillary has to attack these fools for claiming to care about SCOTUS, while blocking nomination of a ninth judge.

To idiot Trump supporters speaking tough is the number one qualification required in a President.

More like the only qualification. If I had a dollar for every time they brought up "muh PC culture," I'd probably be almost as rich as Trump by now.

So are there people who think there will still be a convention bounce? There's no way sane people watching at home will actually like what's going on here.

Unfortunately, the sane vote alone isn't going to be enough to elect Hillary. She needs at least 15% of the insane vote to stand a change of winning.

If he delivers that speech, I'm actually worried that he will get a significant convention bounce.

You're all so paranoid that you think Trump speaking in coherent sentences will be our doom. Reminds me of Palin back in 2008.

Don't underestimate how low of a bar he's set himself. If he speaks in coherent sentences, the media will go on and on about how polished and eloquent he is, saying that we're seeing a "new side" of Trump, and that he's showing that he's prepared to be president.

We're going to get to the "promised land?" Wouldn't that technically mean that we're all going to die?

If you make grandiose statements like that, it's good to actually have evidence to back it up, rather than just adjectives and blank platitudes.

Well, I was expressing my views.  

But if you want "evidence", then go back and watch the RNC on YouTube or some such place that carries them.  I'm sure you can find them.

I was talking about the speaker at the time, not you. Sorry about the confusion.

Ivanka is very well-spoken. Anyone with a brain could tell that she's not an objective source on Trump, though.
