    Republicans really need to stop saying Hillary Clinton's name in every other paragraph.

    It's a losing strategy to be utterly obsessed with your opponent.

    Cruz was Grade A trolling tonight while setting himself up for 2020

    Curious as to why you think that. After all, Sanders has already endorsed Clinton, while Cruz hasn't endorsed Trump. So what you say "the bar has been set"... you actually want Sanders to completely reverse what he has already done.

    What would have been great is if Cruz, while walking off the stage, ran back to the mike and yelled, "Black Lives Matter!"

    So I guess Trump never heard the story about the man and the snake...

    A Farmer walked through his field one cold winter morning. On the ground lay a Snake, stiff and frozen with the cold. The Farmer knew how deadly the Snake could be, and yet he picked it up and put it in his bosom to warm it back to life.

    The Snake soon revived, and when it had enough strength, bit the man who had been so kind to it. The bite was deadly and the Farmer felt that he must die. As he drew his last breath, he asked the snake.. Why did you bite me....

    The snake said "because i'm a snake."

    Ted Cruz will never be elected for the POTUS...ever. I have to say...quite disappointed about his stance. Get over yourself...

    This helps Trump and Cruz. It's ludicrous. But it worked. It elevates Trump as Cruz did piss on his party, it gives Trump some jokes to tell, and it showed that Cruz was not ready for the stage. but it also adds attention. Something they sorely needed. At the same time, Trump still cannot win this election, and so Cruz technically did position himself for his next run as he did stand in the face of every other Republican. That said, Cruz still has no chance in 4 years either. But overall, this was good for both in my opinion as sad as that may be.

    Now conservatives need to vote for freedom. And nothing says freedom like a Johnson.

    Reality will eventually set in, over 50% of the Republican party won't support Trump so we're about to see the most one sided presidential election since before the Civil War.

    I give Cruz credit. He loves being hated.

    Fellas, we gotta give MojoMan credit.

    He was the first one to say, "When Ted Cruz makes his move....watch out!"

    Cruz would be a great heel in wrestling.

    I don't think I have ever seen a politician as high profile as Cruz have such a burning desire to be openly hated. There have been plenty of politicians people hated, they all wanted to be loved. Not Canadian Ted; the guy almost orgasms on stage when booed.

    Canadian Ted took a principled stance, and I think you have to respect it. Not many would have done the right thing even though it was that unpopular. I wouldn't have supported him for president either, but he was impressive tonight.

    But you have to respect that. Again, I don't agree with his policies, but geez, I mean, to me, that took guts. But I suppose if Bernie Sanders did that to Clinton, I wouldn't be happy. So, I'm a bit of a hypocrite there. But it's not just Cruz- the ones who aren't there speak as much volume as what Ted did.

    He desperately wants to be respected and he's just bad at achieving it. He gets the respect as a side dish to his main course of sheer hate.

    You can hate Clinton all you want, but her Twitter troll is on a roll:

    You don't say, Mike:

    Very big of you....

    Republicans have a lot of nice things to say.. when it's not an election year (yes, you can say this about her too):
