Donald Trump’s Twitter Reaction to Ted Cruz’s RNC Speech
Donald Trump’s eldest son, Eric Trump, told delegates in Cleveland Thursday the division and chaos on the floor of the Republican National Convention during a speech by Texas Sen.
Maria Farias, vice chairwoman of the Bexar County GOP, said she did not buy Cruz’s reluctance to back Trump because he attacked the Cruz family.
“I am not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and attacks my father”, he said. Trump also made suggestions that Cruz’s Cuban-born father had indirect links to John F. Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. One of Trump’s central themes in this campaign, said Weidenkopf, is to drop political correctness and that’s what Trump got from Cruz today. Our reporters will be in Cleveland for the 2016 Republican National Convention and plan to stream live interviews with Texans in attendance throughout the week. But now that Trump has won, Cruz and other former rivals are facing accusations of betraying that oath. Hutchison said she identified herself to Cruz and criticized the senator. Or rather, Ted Cruz’s audience sounded a lot like Nelson Rockefeller’s.
Mr Trump’s top adviser said Mr Cruz “used very bad judgment” when he failed to endorse the presidential nominee.
I have to give Ted Cruz one thing: the guy has guts.
Cruz had been greeted earlier in the day by supporters chanting “2020” – an encouragement for Cruz to run again in the next presidential election.
Also on Thursday, Manafort was asked about the news that a writer who works for Trump’s corporation had come forward to take the responsibility for Melania Trump’s Monday speech and its passages that matched first lady Michelle Obama’s 2008 convention address.
But “I think (Cruz) lost all of those people” by failing to endorse Trump, Burlison said.
As he appeared on stage Wednesday night, Cruz basked in a minute-long standing ovation.
Editor’s Note: The headline of this story has been changed to reflect that not all members of Arizona’s delegation were angered by Cruz’s speech.
“I can tell you I’m not voting Hillary”, Cruz replied to much applause.
The crowd’s boos quickly switched to cheers as Trump entered the arena at the moment Cruz finished.
On Wednesday, he boldly refused to endorse Trump after congratulating him for winning the nomination.
