Oh that is a glorious image. First time since Iowa that someone has put a hole in his massive ego, and it shows.

Is that from when it became clear Cruz wasn't endorsing him?

[Xing]

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

[Oak Hills]

Insert obligatory Reagan reference here.

[Seriously?]

No, Trump walked into the VIP section as Cruz got booed off of the stage. I don't think he was with the family at that point in time. I think that's from Eric's speech.

[Dr. Arch]

They expected Cruz to endorse him after he accused his father of being involved in the assassination of JFK? Please. This damage is well-deserved.

"Only two names on the ballot"

Apparently Pence has not even glanced at his own state's ballot.

Pence is somnolent and inspires zero passion...or as Trump would say, low energy

[Likely Voter]

"not the best we can do it is the best they can do" is a good line.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

"Growth is terrible!  (Except in my state, which hasn't been affected for some reason.)"

Fantastic speech here by Pence. My favorite speech of the three nights.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I was at swing dancing class and am just catching up. What'd Cruz say?

Told Republicans to vote their conscience

That was quite a dance!

[Doimper]

I don't like Pence, but he gives a good speech. He's going to be the automatic frontrunner for 2020.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

"Vote your conscience."

[riceowl]

Really fumbled that Sec. of the status quo line.

[Mehmentum]

I was at swing dancing class and am just catching up. What'd Cruz say?

Refused to endorse Trump, told everyone to 'vote their conscience'.

[Likely Voter]

looks like Cruz forced himself into the 10-11PM hour and therefore forced the networks to have to run over.  Such an epic troll.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Why did Mike Pence just blurt out, "Bernie Sanders"?

[Seriously?]

looks like Cruz forced himself into the 10-11PM hour and therefore forced the networks to have to run over.  Such an epic troll.

I believe he was done before 10 pm. They had a video and a few minutes of music before the 10 PM hour and Eric Trump took the stage.

Cruz was over before 10.  I don't know whether Eric Trump was supposed to have a 10PM speech, though.

Yes. Pence, Ryan, Cotton, Cruz will be the talk of 2020 or 2024.

[Stockdale for Veep]

Love the Constitution. Hate SCOTUS.

Mike Pence is better at treating insomnia than Ambien
