Opinion of Ted Cruz's convention speech

[Pessimistic Antineutrino]

wow

I disagree with what he did, but that takes balls of iron. FS

[swf541]

Cruz is a good man, god bless Cruz

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

That was the best.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Amazing. I disagree with Cruz on many issues and wouldn't be voting for him if he was the nominee, but  on the "vote your conscience" line, we are in perfect agreement. I am a registered republican (for caucusing purposes), but that does not mean I have to vote that way. Following your conscience makes sense, following your party is being a senseless marcobot. And that's why my ballot will be cast for either Hillary Clinton or Gary Johnson and not for Donald Trump.

[Ebsy]

I liked when he was booed off the stage.

[Santander]

Great, as always.

[The Other Castro]

He and Sasse will be competing for the "Pure Conservative" slot in 2020, it seems.

[Holmes]

Cruz is a good man, god bless Cruz

No, he's still the spawn of evil. He was just looking towards 2020.

[Horsemask]

Freedom speech

With Minnesota transitioning to an open primary in 2020, will you become an independent?

[Vosem]

Best one I've heard yet.

[tinman64]

Freedom Speech.

I'm certainly no supporter of Cruz, but the man has guts.

[dspNY]

I disagree with Cruz on EVERY issue but he is a gangsta and destroyed Trump going into the general

[Figueira]

Atlas is defending Ted Cruz now?

[libertpaulian]

Egoism.  If he's so principled, he should have skipped like Rubio, Paul, Haley, Kasich, etc. did.

[DINGO Joe]

When massive egos collide.

[Ronnie]

Freedom speech, horrible person.

[Podgy the Bear]

Nice to see Cruz jam his finger into Trump's eye.

[Likely Voter]

The buzz for Reagan after his 1976 speech was that maybe they nominated the wrong guy. Cruz' speech started off strong and Reaganesque but without echoing Reagan's call for unity he ended up potentially hurting his 2020 chances. He needs those Trump supporters. Will Cruz' speech/non endorsement become like Christie's hug of Obama, something people can point to as a reason why the GOP lost in 2016? (not saying it will cause the loss, just that people will say that the party was unified, and he bears some of that responsibility).   Kasich (and potentially Sasse) will already dominate the NeverTrump wing, Cruz needs those evangelicals that chose Trump over him on Super Tuesday.

Best one I've heard yet.

So, can I take it, you are voting your conscience?

[ag]

For once, he did the right thing.

[Fargobison]

Likely the only speech I will remember from this convention. The biggest freedom speech Cruz will likely ever give.

[NHI]

An ego driven and self-serving speech

Career ender! Massive FS!
