I've never felt so much...non-hatred?...for Ted Cruz. His heart grew many sizes today. Very impressive. (Not that I'd vote for him)

I cannot stand Ted Cruz, but I have to admit this is the best speech of the convention so far and it's not close. He's totally in his element and is a terrifyingly powerful and effective demagogue.

"Even if you aren't as rich as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama."

....orrrrrrrrrr...?

Couldn't believe I even heard that line.

I think it was intentional subliminal HypnoToad speak.

I know he is a very hated man, but you have to give credit where credit is due. Cruz is an amazing orator.

He really does give off a creepy vibe though.

He's giving the "you picked the wrong man" speech

"Whether you are... gay or straight... you have the right to live according to your conscience."

Did Cruz just endorse gay marriage?


I don't know if that was his intention, but the line certainly raised my eyebrows.

Cruz is such an asshole. "Vote for Republican Senate and House candidates, leave the presidential ballot blank" is the obvious subtext. The Trump delegates are getting out of control and trying shout him down judging by the noise.

Going to drop by as the guy who was probably Ted Cruz's biggest backer on this forum for a month ago to say that this speech is fantastic, he had my support earned, and I hope he will be part of the conversation in 2020

One of the reasons I preferred him over trump. At least this guy can go and speak before the world and not look like a complete dummy.

This is pretty much the opposite of endorsement. I would use it in commercials by a pro-Hillary PAC.
