Donald Trump’s acceptance speech proved that his vision, not Ted Cruz’s, is the future of the conservative movement and the Republican Party. Cruz was promptly booed off the stage during his speech.

Cruz was heckled by audience members in the arena during his prime-time speech for not endorsing Trump.
“The economic populism that Trump is tapping into is really resonant with this huge bloc of people in the heartland, away from these big urban areas, whose life trajectories are so utterly different”, she said.
WND reported Wednesday night Cruz’s speech was vintage Cruz – calling for American to return to freedom and the rule of law. “Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo!” He also criticized the ruling elite in media and politics whom he dubbed as “censors, critics, and cynics” for undermining the American people who are “believers, dreamers, and strivers”.
The willingness of GOP leaders to get behind Trump left others puzzled and disappointed.
The likelihood of the next president nominating multiple Supreme Court justices – where they could have an impact for decades – was enough reason for Olga Farnum, an alternate delegate from Snohomish County. He just enraged 45 percent, 50 percent of the Republican Party. “Safety must be restored”, Trump said, in one of the eerier lines he delivered. “I’m not sure (the) speech will be viewed as building bridges to the Latino and immigrant community. Today more men and women will go to work than ever before in our country’s history”.
“But I think there’s more people under the tent now”, he said.

Apparently Trump believed Republican delegates are a mob. The Democrats did not vote for Trump because they prefer supporting a billionaire, but because they like his positions on immigration and trade.
His speech was greeted with roaring cheers from Republicans in the Quicken Loans Arena, ending an uneven Republican National Convention week on a high note for the Trump campaign. “And that made it a lot worse“. “Never again”, Trump added. Ted Cruz of Texas and Gov. John Kasich of OH, who have declined to endorse him. Instead Cruz repeated “freedom” over and over, some 23 times, declaring that “America is an ideal”, and that the ideal is merely that “freedom matters”. Cruz referred to the fact that the presidential race is not “a team sport”, but rather an event to see who is more apt to lead the country.
Bush staffer Nicolle Wallace announced that the Republican party she knew “died in this room tonight”.
Trump’s comments represent his latest bid for vengeance against Cruz, who is up for re-election to the Senate in 2018 and is considered a potential presidential candidate in 2020. Cruz’s speech had no such criticism of Hillary, and relied on superficial rhetorical devices like devoting much of his speech to a story about a sympathetic victim with whom Cruz had no personal connection.
And the report quoted New York Rep. Peter King saying, “Tonight, America saw the real Ted Cruz”.

Former nomination rival Jeb Bush is apparently not the third person being eyed by Trump, even after skipping the convention and refusing to back the Republican nominee.
