All Hell Just Broke Loose At The GOP Convention As Ted Cruz Refuses To Endorse Trump
By Jason Easley on Wed, Jul 20th, 2016 at 9:58 pm
It became clear early on in his speech that Sen. Cruz was out to knife Donald Trump in the back.
Ted Cruz rambled on about the Republican vision for the future, which was really Ted Cruz’s vision for the future. Cruz eventually got around to saying that there is a better vision for the future. Cruz called it a return to freedom. He rambled on about Hillary Clinton and President Obama, but one name was missing in his speech. Cruz conspicuously avoided mentioning Donald Trump’s name.
