“I can understand his reluctance to endorse”.

“Ted, just stay home, relax, enjoy yourself”, Trump.
In Cleveland, Trump’s acceptance of the Republican nomination capped his improbable takeover of the GOP, a party that plunges into the general election united in opposition to Clinton but still torn over Trump.
There’s little doubt that Cruz hopes Trump will lose and leave a path for the Texan to resume his own White House quest.
He said McIver had been with him for a long time and was a “good person”. In Donald Trump you have a candidate that knows the difference between wanting something done and making it happen. “I think he’s a lovely guy, a lovely guy”. “I represent these people and they know me, and some are going to be upset, and you know, if they are, I’m sad that they’re upset, but I’m going to go tell my heart”. “Now Ted never denied that it was his father”.
“Cruz started to imitate [Trump] during the primary”, Coulter explained.
The Republican Party convention was boycotted by many big-name Republicans, such as 2012 nominee Mitt Romney and members of the Bush family. The GOP candidate told delegates that he will crack down on violence against police. “I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and who attack my father”. A protester from Code Pink briefly interrupted Trump’s speech Thursday night, unfurling a banner that read “Build bridges, not walls”.
Yet Cruz held firm, delivering a primetime address that offered no support whatsoever for Trump and urged delegates to vote their conscience in November. Three days ago, Cruz informed Trump during a phone conversation that there would be no endorsement during his speech to the convention, Roe said.
“Disgraceful” is one of the kinder words that Trump supporters are using to describe Ted Cruz’s speech before the National Convention on Wednesday night, in which he pointedly refused to embrace the party’s standard-bearer. “See, to me, that’s dishonorable”.
The senator launched a blistering assault on Mr Trump as he defended his decision not to endorse him in his prominent speech at the convention on Wednesday. Roe said Miller called him shortly before he submitted Cruz’s speech, at about 6 p.m., and emphasized that Trump would appreciate an endorsement. The ad was put out by a PAC with no official ties to the Cruz campaign, but Trump said Friday that he doesn’t buy that. “America first!”, Trump said. “We’re not babies. His people are on the PAC”. I saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway.
“They didn’t treat Bernie right”, Trump said of the Democratic National Committee.

Turning to his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Trump asked, “Are you allowed to set up a super PAC, Mike, if you are the president to fight somebody?”
