“And people will remember who didn’t”, said Steve Munisteri, the former chair of the Texas GOP and an ally of Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus.

Scathing criticism directed at Hillary Clinton by prominent speakers at the Republican National Convention accurately reflect her record as the nation’s secretary of state and are not meant to demonize the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, GOP delegates from Oklahoma said Wednesday.
Stone insists that, though Cruz had reportedly submitted his speech to the Trump team in advance, he had nonetheless betrayed the Republican nominee. He told the restless crowd that since Cruz told Americans to vote their conscience for anyone who can uphold the Constitution, there’s only one choice. Trump said that the Enquirer was a great newspaper “with a lot of credibility” that deserved to win the Pulitzer prize for its expose of former Sen. Ted Cruz, the US senator from Texas, proved with his speech that, like the Republican presidential nominee, he knows how to grab the spotlight by breaking form.
After their candidate narrowly lost the N.C. primary, Cruz supporters organized the election of many of his backers to delegate slots.
Throughout Trump’s presidential campaign, media outlets and figures have obsessively looked for the Trump “pivot”.
The third night of this extravaganza had all the usual hoopla – plus a blackout on the jumbo screens, delegates screaming at each other, and a major presidential candidate getting booed off the stage.

“Overwhelmingly, people (in the delegation) are upset with Cruz, even Cruz supporters”, said delegate Matthew Ridenhour, a Mecklenburg County commissioner.
“Stand, and speak”, Cruz told the crowd.
“He’s the most self-centered, narcissistic, pathological liar I’ve ever seen – and you can quote me on that”, he said. “We’re like the red-headed stepchild”, he said.
“This is a process – yeah, in due time”, Roe said, seeming to acknowledge Trump’s efforts to appease the Cruz’s faction of the party.
The absence of a single member of the Bush family in the convention has also added fuel to the fire. He said his father is the one candidate for president “who does not need this job”.

She said the GOP base would come to regret aligning with Trump, predicting, “There is going to be a rude awakening in the next four years”. The Texas senator never mentioned Trump but got a standing ovation upon his entrance and again when he mentioned “a little-noticed talk that I gave in Cleveland”. Trump’s movement through the backstage area and into a visible position offstage was tracked by TV crews, the signal beaming to TV sets around the country even as Cruz was speaking.
