Cruz stood before thousands of angry Republicans and told them to vote their conscience rather than cave to what must have been overwhelming pressure from the party to support a deeply flawed nominee. “When he didn’t do the right thing, people went insane”.
“This is his chance to tell in his own words why he wants to be president, why he believes he is qualified to be president and what he plans to do if he is elected”, Chen said.
They say the enemy of your enemy is your friend, but that’s really not going to hold up in the case of Republican presidential nominee Donald Jiminy Trump and the puffy beast he slay to achieve said nomination, Ted Cruz.
“It’s taken me about 30 minutes to calm down and stop shaking with anger”, said Erik Layton, an alternate delegate from California who had shouted: “Go home” at Cruz after his speech.
“To those listening, please, don’t stay home in November”, Cruz said.
“Wow, Ted Cruz got booed off the stage”, Trump tweeted, noting that the Texas senator did not fulfill his pledge to support the Republican nominee.
During the primary, Trump suggested that Cruz’s father had been with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy, citing a National Enquirer report.

Many of Cruz’s supporters from around the country came to thank him, shake his hand and pose for photographs.

“The time for fighting each other is over, it is time to come together and fight for a new direction for America”, he said. Americans can elect someone who literally personifies the failed establishment in Washington, D.C., or we can choose a leader who will fight everyday to Make America Great Again.

Meanwhile, his critics pointed to what they say are the anti-immigration policies Pence supported during his time as governor and, before that, in the US senate.
