Ted Cruz booed lustily as he refuses to endorse Donald Trump

CLEVELAND - Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tried to link arms with Republicans at the party's national convention on Wednesday, but was booed lustily by delegates when he ended his speech without offering Donald Trump his endorsement — or even saying he would vote for the New York billionaire.

As he appeared on stage, Cruz basked in a minute-long standing ovation. Cruz finished second to Trump in the crowded Republican primary campaign and congratulated the GOP nominee on his victory.

But as close as Cruz came to saying he wanted Trump to win the White House came when he said, "I want to see the principles that our party believes in prevail in November."

Cruz didn't tell the convention crowd that he plans to vote for Trump. Nor did he ask his supporters, hundreds of whom encouraged him to run for president in four years at an event on Wednesday afternoon, to vote for the newly minted Republican nominee.

Interrupted by chants of "Trump, Trump, Trump," Cruz paused and said with a smile, "I appreciate the enthusiasm of the New York delegation."

But as Cruz closed his remarks, and as the crowd of more than 2,000 delegates at the Quicken Loans Arena waited for Cruz to say something — anything — kind about Trump, he demurred.

"And to those listening, please, don't stay home in November," Cruz said. "Stand and speak, and vote your conscience. Vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution."

The delegates responded with angry boos, and Cruz backer and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli escorted Heidi Cruz off the convention floor as she was heckled by Trump delegates.

"He's a chicken," said Eugene Delgaudio, a delegate from Sterling, Virginia, who clucked like a chicken when asked about Cruz's decision. "He needed to toughen up like every other Republican loser of any nomination battle in the last 100 years since Abraham Lincoln and just suck it up, be a man and back the nominee that he was beaten by, fair and square."

The crowd's boos quickly switched to cheers when Trump entered the arena at that moment. His daughter Ivanka and other members of the Trump party turned their backs on Cruz to stand and applaud Trump, who sat down in the front row of his VIP box to watch his son Eric deliver the next speech.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called Cruz's decision "totally selfish." The outspoken Trump backer, like Cruz bested by the real estate mogul in the GOP primaries, said the voters made clear that Trump is their choice.

"If we're not going to do that, why do we have elections? Because Ted Cruz has decided that he knows better? Than all of the people who voted in the elections?" he said.

The booing was so intense the Trump campaign encouraged its many staffers on the convention floor to try to calm the delegates down, said a Trump aide speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal campaign discussions.

Cruz halted his campaign two months ago, having outlasted all but Trump in a field that once numbered 17 candidates. He finished a distant second in the delegate accumulation during the Republican nominating campaign.

The reaction to Cruz's refusal to endorse Trump, who branded the Texas senator "Lyin' Ted" during the GOP primaries, stood in stark contrast to his reception earlier Wednesday among a crowd of the convention's most conservative delegates.

Many of Cruz's supporters from around the country came to thank him, shake his hand and pose for photographs. They crowded around him 10 people deep in the sun on an outdoor restaurant deck after his 20-minute speech, chanting "2020, 2020, 2020!"

Donna Metz, Cruz's 2016 Kansas state co-chairwoman, wore a sparkling red, white and blue hat and was jostled in the crowd as she made her way toward Cruz. "Oh, my gosh, I hope he runs again," said Metz, of Eudora, Kansas. "He's by far the best candidate."

As he would during his convention speech, the freshman lawmaker with a Texas-sized political ambition steered clear of a recommendation to back Trump at the afternoon event. Instead, Cruz talked about conservative ideals that could form the backbone of a future campaign.

"There is a better vision for our future: A return to freedom," he said.

Cruz is eager to be seen as the face of the modern conservative movement should there be an open GOP field in four years, and he said Wednesday afternoon he was unsure what the future would bring.

But he urged the group to "follow our conscience," ''unite behind liberty" and "empower the grassroots," all signals to the deep organization Cruz assembled in finishing second to Trump to be ready to jump back into action in four years.

And for all the boos Cruz got later from the Trump backers inside the convention hall, supporters of the Texas senator said his refusal to back the billionaire was "true leadership."

"I support it 100 per cent," said Dalton Glasscock, a Cruz delegate from Wichita. "If someone feels they can vote for Trump, great. If they can't, vote for someone they can believe in. He left the door open to more."

BREAKING: Blogger Who Tried To Connect CRUZ’S DAD With Lee Harvey Oswald Found DEAD

The blogger who claimed that Ted Cruz’s dad was in connection with John F. Kennedy’s murder has been found dead in his home. Do you think that this has anything to do with his blog post about Cruz? Or was he simply depressed?

A prolific Indiana political blogger wrote an ominous post last week predicting a Donald Trump victory in his state — and soon afterward committed suicide, police said.

Gary Welsh, a lawyer who managed his Advance Indiana blog since 2005, was found in his Indianapolis apartment around 8 a.m. Sunday with a gunshot wound, according to the Indianapolis Star. Officers found him in a stairwell, dead at the scene, according to a police report
Police ruled Welsh’s death a suicide, but have not released any details about what may have motivated it.

…

Just days before he was found dead, Welsh, 53, filed a final post for his blog, predicting Trump will win the Hoosier State’s GOP presidential primary Tuesday
But his post took dark turn, even for a piece discussing a Donald Trump victory.

“If I’m not around to see the vote results, my prediction is that Trump wins Indiana with just shy of 50% of the vote,” Welsh wrote.

Two readers seemed confused or concerned about his cryptic comment Welsh, 53, wrote the widely followed conservative blog Advance Indiana, which he launched more than a decade ago. He also was a practicing attorney.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s incident report says officers were dispatched to the Lockerbie Glove Factory Lofts, 430 N. Park Ave., before 8 a.m. Sunday after receiving a report of a person found shot in the stairwell of the building. The witnesses who called 911 reported that a gun was next to the body

IMPD Capt. Richard Riddle said he expects an autopsy will be conducted Monday. He said the Marion County Coroner’s Office will determine the official cause of death.

Welsh was known for hard-hitting blog posts that took swipes at both Democrats and Republicans.

His final post, published Friday, summarized the latest poll results in the GOP presidential primary battle between Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Cruz's faltering campaign shows the risks of depending on a few wealthy donors

www.latimes.com

Ted Cruz, in his outsider’s bid for the White House, has depended heavily on the largesse of just three wealthy donors to establish credibility and stay afloat amid a chaotic nominating process that killed off most of his rivals.

Now, at perhaps the most desperate moment in his quest to win the Republican nomination, Cruz is learning the perils of relying on strong-willed magnates who carry their own agendas and have demanded an unprecedented level of control in how their money is spent.

One of the three primary donors to Cruz’s presidential efforts, a private equity manager who recruited the other two top donors, has refrained from spending the vast majority of his $10 million contribution to bolster the Cruz campaign. He is instead fighting openly with the top strategist for the super PACs that were set up to spend the money.

The man at the center of the fight, TobyNeugebauer, is a close friend of Cruz and his wife, Heidi. Neugebauer and his own wife have vacationed with the Cruzes, and he still counts himself a major supporter. But he has refused to spend $9 million of the $10 million he put into a super PAC.

“He was going to go up with ads in October or November. That came and went, and then he said he’s saving it for Super Tuesday,” said Kellyanne Conway, who oversees a network of super PACs supporting Cruz.

“I don’t know if he’s having a $10 million party in Cleveland, or what. It became apparent almost immediately that his money wasn’t really there.”

Neugebauer, though, said he was alarmed by the profligate spending of other super PACs that spent vast sums on candidates who flamed out. He said he is relieved to have set up a strategy where he and two other major donors dictate how their money is spent.

“How we set up in these big PACs was a response to how unhappy people were in 2012,” he said in an interview. “Trust me, all the other big donors wish their PACs were set up the same way.”

After Citizens United and other court decisions opened the door to nearly unlimited campaign donations, many donors became frustrated with the control they surrendered to campaign consultants, who blew through millions of dollars on TV ads in a fruitless effort to elect Mitt Romney in 2012. This year, an outside group supporting former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush spent more than $100 million from big donors in a disastrous endeavor that saw Bush falter as soon as the first primary voters went to the polls.

To counter the risk of a repeat of 2012, Neugebauer, the son of Texas Rep. Randy Neugebauer, helped set up three super PACs last year to support Cruz, each using a variation of the name Keep the Promise — one for each major donor. The groups, forbidden by law to communicate with the Cruz campaign, planned to divvy up responsibilities for aiding his candidacy.

But that strategy proved unwieldy, and the super PACs united in early March under the name Trusted Leadership PAC to raise more money. Neugebauer, however, has yet to come aboard. He complained that the political consultants remain addicted to buying negative television ads, a strategy that has proven particularly ineffective against the star power of front-runnerDonald Trump. Neugebauer said he has instead pressed for positive ads placed in social media, but has been rebuffed.

“There were some political consultants, especially the establishment’s favorites, who didn’t know they were extinct,” Neugebauer said. “People are going to be looking for a completely fresh set of talent.”

Neugebauer said he would not start spending money on Trump during the primary but declined to disparage Trump’s credentials for office, as many other Cruz backers have done.

“Ted and I are close friends. I am going to support the nominee. I’m not 'Never Trump,'" he said, referring to the effort among some Republicans to deny Trump the nomination. "I think all that talk is just disgusting and shows a complete lack of understanding of what the middle class is going through in America. I want those voters for Ted in November.”

If the other two donors are frustrated that the man who helped recruit them to the effort appears to be bailing on it, they have not said so publicly. Neither Robert Mercer, who has donated $13.5 million to help Cruz, nor Farris Wilks, who along with his family donated $15 million, agreed to be interviewed or responded to written questions submitted to their representatives. The Cruz campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Conway said the division of labor among the funders was “baked in the cake from the beginning” and that Neugebauer knew his money was to be used for television ads. The other super PACs, she said, were concentrating on contacting voters directly, sending direct mail, radio ads and digital advertising campaigns.

“The guy could be a hero,” Conway said. “He could be a white knight right now.”

The separate super PACs raised eyebrows from political consultants and other campaigns, who wondered whether it made sense to hand over so much control to donors.

But Cruz’ former communications advisor Rick Tyler said the $38 million infusion from the big three was critical to establishing Cruz’s bona-fides as a serious presidential contender, disproving early doubts that he could compete with establishment candidates.

“One of them was ‘Cruz might be able to raise grass-roots money, but he’ll never be able to raise big money,’” Tyler said. “It was important for people to understand this was a well-funded campaign, and it was balanced.”

Yet the power and lifestyles of the Cruz mega-donors have also highlighted the wide gulf between Cruz’s populist critiques of “crony capitalism,” and the relationships he maintains with the ultra-wealthy to fuel that message. Ten donors have given a total of $48 million to his super PACs, more than three-fourths of the money he has raised from outside groups. Many of them made their money in oil and gas, industries that have received strong support from Cruz.

They make an eclectic group.

Neugebauer, for example, lives in Puerto Rico with his family among a community of mega-wealthy Americans who are taking advantage of the island’s generous income tax breaks.

Farris Wilks and his brother Dan founded Frac Tech, which provided equipment and services for hydraulic fracking; they sold the company, of which they owned a majority, for more than $3 billion in 2011. Wilks serves as a pastor in Assembly of Yahweh, a church that forbids the celebration of Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter.

Wilks has called climate change God’s will and condemned homosexuality as “a perversion tantamount to bestiality, pedophilia and incest,” according to recordings of sermons reviewed by Reuters.

Mercer, a hedge fund executive, is a strong advocate for returning to the gold standard who has funded groups that have cast doubt on the science of climate change.

Cruz also has criticized the consensus scientific view of climate change, and has suggested he too would welcome a return to the gold standard, an idea that has little backing among mainstream economists.

“The Fed should get out of the business of trying to juice our economy and simply be focused on sound money and monetary stability, ideally tied to gold,” Cruz said last year during a debate.

Neugebauer said he and the other donors were not motivated by personal issues or gain, nor do all of them necessarily agree with Cruz’s sharply conservative views on social issues. Rather, he said, they are united by a concern for the country’s debt.

“I know it sounds crazy,” he said. “We are anti-establishment and we all think the country is on the precipice of insolvency.”

With Neugebauer on the sidelines, the other super PACs have begun spending money on television ads. In Indiana, where Cruz desperately needs an upset Tuesday to slow Trump’s rise, the super PAC is spending nearly $2 million. Strangely, the biggest chunk, $1.3 million, is going toward a television ad attacking John Kasich for his support of Obamacare; after the money was spent, Cruz and Kasich announced a deal where Kasich would not compete in Indiana.

Neugebauer said he still is weighing whether to spend money in California before its June 7 primary.

“There have been a lot of opportunities to waste money this political cycle,” he said in an email.

Trump 41%, Clinton 39% - Rasmussen Reports™

Trump 41%, Clinton 39% Related Articles

Monday, May 02, 2016

Last week, Rasmussen Reports gave voters the option of staying home on Election Day if Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the big party nominees, and six percent (6%) said that’s what they intend to do for now. Clinton and Trump were tied with 38% support each; 16% said they would vote for some other candidate, and two percent (2%) were undecided.

But Trump edges slightly ahead if the stay-at-home option is removed. Trump also now does twice as well among Democrats as Clinton does among Republicans.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 41% support to Clinton’s 39%. Fifteen percent (15%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This is the first time Trump has led the matchup since last October. Clinton held a 41% to 36% advantage in early March.

Trump now has the support of 73% of Republicans, while 77% of Democrats back Clinton. But Trump picks up 15% of Democrats, while just eight percent (8%) of GOP voters prefer Clinton, given this matchup. Republicans are twice as likely to prefer another candidate.

Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Trump leads 37% to 31%, but 23% like another candidate. Nine percent (9%) are undecided.

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on April 27-28, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Ninety-one percent (91%) of Democrats now say Clinton is likely to be their party’s nominee. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Republicans see Trump as the likely GOP nominee.

Trump leads 48% to 35% among men but trails Clinton by a similar 44% to 34% among women.

Clinton’s narrow 38% to 32% lead among those under 40, traditionally a reliable Democratic group, suggests that younger voters will be a big target in the upcoming campaigning. Twenty-five percent (25%) of these voters like another candidate for now, and five percent (5%) are undecided. Trump has a small advantage among older voters.

Clinton earns 71% of the black vote, 45% support among other minority voters but just 33% of whites. Trump gets only nine percent (9%) of blacks, 33% of other minorities and 48% of white voters.

Here’s the latest delegate count going into tomorrow’s Indiana primaries. For Bernie Sanders and the #Never Trump forces on the Republican side, Indiana is likely to be their last stand.

Following Trump’s big win in last Tuesday’s primaries, it’s moment of truth time for the #Never Trump crowd: Do they want four years of Clinton in the White House or a Republican president they strongly disagree with?

Heidi Cruz Confronts Fiorina For Sleeping With Lyin’ Ted Cruz

Listen to Military Veteran Talk Radio iHeart.SmythRadio.com
Facebook.com/SmythRadio

Greenville, Indiana Saturday, April 30, 2016

A nasty argument broke out between Carly Fiorina and Heidi Cruz, after Heidi Cruz confronted Fiorina about sleeping with her husband, GOP Presidential candidate Lyin’ Ted Cruz, in a Pizza restaurant’s restroom in Greenville, Indiana on Saturday afternoon.

On the campaign trail, Carly Fiorina, running mate to Republican presidential candidate Lying Ted Cruz, and Congressman Marlin Stutzman ( a senate candidate), along with first lady hopeful Heidi Cruz, came to Mozzi’s Pizza in Greenfield for lunch Saturday afternoon.

An employee of Mozzi’s Pizza who was in a restroom occupied by Cruz and Fiorina, heard Cruz and Fiorina screaming at each other outside her stall, saying that:

“I trusted you. I allow you in my home and trust you with my children. So how do you repay me….by f….ing (expletive) my husband.” [Cruz]

“It wasn’t my fault. He came on to me and I really didn’t think you would care…it’s not like I was the first woman he ever cheated on you with.” [Fiorina]

Allegedly, their altercation nearly turned violent with further harsh words levied by both Cruz and Fiorina, but calmed down shortly after the manager of the restaurant, Steve Geyer, knocked on the door of the restroom, in an attempt to quell the argument.

Steve Geyer said that the restaurant learned of Fiorina’s intended visit late Friday night and the staff felt honored to have such a high-profile campaign choose their establishment to visit for lunch.

Later that Saturday afternoon, Stuzman, Fiorina and Cruz, braved the rain on the footsteps of the Hancock Courthouse in downtown Greenville, to pitch their campaign spills to a small crowd of people.

Obviously, Heidi Cruz, still very emotionally upset from her earlier altercation with Fiorina, made the following statement, calling her husband an “Immigrant”.

“We have been unifying this party. Five of those 17 candidates have endorsed our campaign. And different parts of the party. We’ve been unifying fiscal conservatives. Evangelicals. Young people.

Do you know that Ted has been winning the millennial vote in state after state? He’s been winning the women’s vote in state after state. Ted is an immigrant. He is Hispanic. He can unify this party.

We have libertarians joining our cause. I have people everyday from the Democrat party telling that they have re-registered to vote for Ted as a Republican because they understand what he stands for and he represents American values.”

A patron checks out Fiorina’s posterior during Wisconsin Visit

In attempt to clean up the possible media fallout from Heidi’s allegations that Lying Ted is an immigrant and therefore ineligible to run for President, a Cruz campaign spokesman later claimed Mrs. Cruz misspoke.

“As she has in numerous speeches over and over, Heidi was referring to Ted as being the son of an immigrant,” said spokeswoman Catherine Frazier.

“That is a story she shares repeatedly on the campaign trail. It is an integral part of his background and personal story, one which resonates with the millions of Americans who share a similar background, and that gives hope to those struggling to climb the economic ladder.”

Whether or not Heidi Cruz was deliberately trying to sabotage her cheating husband’s campaign or not, is a matter of speculation. However, if Melania Trump had said same thing about her husband, Donald Trump, it would have been on every television news show and front page of every major newspaper in the country, that evening.

Story partially contributed to by the Washington Examiner.

Editors Note:

It does not shock me at all that the main stream media has nothing to say about both of the aforementioned incidents. I found the Washington Examiner article concerning Heidi Cruz’s immigrant remarks, which lead me to dig further in to it. (said article has a audio recording of Heidi Cruz’s immigrant remarks)

A couple calls to the Pizza place and some digging in some local blogs lead me to the woman who overheard the fight in the bathroom. I actually talked to the restaurant employee who furnished me with the above quotes.

However, she is asking not to be named until she can talk to her families attorney. My gut feeling is that she is hopeful for fame and money from movie and or book deals…who knows. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, the main stream media will write about this.

Jewish Billionaire Leftist & Obama/Hillary MegaDonor Gives CRUZ 11 Million — to Stop Trump!

Listen to Military Veteran Talk Radio iHeart.SmythRadio.com

APRIL 17, 2016 AT 11:59 PM

Commentary — If you needed any more evidence that in America the Zio-controlled governing party and the Zio-controlled opposition party are two sides of the same shekel, look no further. Jewish tribalist billionaire James Simons has given mega millions to leftist Democrats, Barack Obama and potential shiksa-in-chief Hillary Clinton. Recently Simons has given the huge amount of 11 million dollars to a son of a preacher and part-time Bela Lugosi impersonator Ted Cruz in a desperate attempt to stop Trump!

This should make it clear that Cruz is no outsider but the most connected insider possible. While Cruz rails against “NY values” he gets mega millions from the the New York elite, the same elite that are the biggest long-time supporters of the Likes of Obama and Hillary Clinton! Another interesting fact is that Simons is also a megadonor to Planned Parenthood, who hypocrite Cruz rails against. So Simons obviously has no worries about his millions of dollars being able to control Cruz, but he is deathly afraid of Donald Trump — What else do you need to know.

Here are some excerpts that have the facts on Simon’s billions of dollars to Cruz!

Why Billionaires Like James Simons Donate Millions to Clinton and Cruz

America’s elite don’t support Establishment candidates because they’re passionate about campaign platforms

By Michael Sainato • 04/17/16 10:00am

Hillary Clinton’s supporters endlessly criticize Bernie Sanders for not being “a real” Democrat.

“I’m not even sure he is one,” the former first lady said in an interview via aPolitico podcast. The attack is baseless and divisive, and with it Ms. Clinton and her supporters draw a line in the sand, telling Democrats who support Mr. Sanders: If you aren’t with us, you’re against us. In some ways, their argument is true. Mr. Sanders isn’t a true Democrat—he’s something much better.

Mr. Sanders’ campaign platform includes proposals and ideas Democrats have fought for over several decades, albeit incrementally. The reforms Mr. Sanders instills into mainstream conversations—issues like income inequality and the corruption and greed embedded in the American political system—have fallen by the wayside in recent years as both parties are beholden to special interests, rather than the greater public good.

Most politicians like Ms. Clinton and Jeb Bush spend their time courting deep-pockets, and in this election cycle the two candidates have shared over 60 of the same wealthy donors. Time Magazine cited one billionaire donating to Ms. Clinton, Mr. Bush and Senator Ted Cruz—who believes the country would be in good hands with any of the three as president. Goldman Sachs—whose CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, called Mr. Sanders “dangerous”—also donated to Mr. Cruz, Mr. Bush and Ms. Clinton.

Billionaires and millionaires aren’t supporting candidates like Ms. Clinton and Mr. Cruz because they’re passionate about campaign platforms. Wealthy individuals contribute to campaigns because they know that, in order to keep large donations pouring in every year, candidates like Ms. Clinton and Mr. Cruz will return the favor. This cycle enables massive corporations and wealthy one-percenters to maximize their profits through tax evasion, outsourcing and government subsidies and tax breaks.

According to a New York Times analysis that was last updated on April 5, Ms. Clinton has received $62.5 million in contributions from Super-PACs alone. Mr. Cruz—having received $56 million from Super-PACs—isn’t far behind. Politico’s list of the top 100 donors in the 2016 presidential election show Ms. Clinton and Mr. Cruz leading the majority of donations from America’s elite.

Billionaire James Simons owns hedge funds Euclidean Capital and Renaissance Technologies. According to OpenSecrets.org, Euclidean Capital has donated over $3.5 million to Ms. Clinton’s campaign and Renaissance Technologies has donated over $11 million to Mr. Cruz’s campaign. Ms. Clinton and Mr. Cruz differ substantially on campaign platforms, but their refusal to challenge the status quo, and to network with federal lobbyists rather than against them, is what makes them similar.

This is why Mr. Sanders is an infinitely better candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. His donor lists don’t mirror those of the Republicans, and his campaign platform can’t be stripped down to provide concessions to federal lobbyists and special interests.

Bernie Sanders’ accountability is with the American people—many of whom have financed his campaign through small contributions. Citizens United is not a single issue—it permeates and corrupts every aspect of the political system.

The future of the Democratic Party is at stake, and the Establishment support for Hillary Clinton signifies a preference for federal lobbyists and money overfighting for working class and middle class interests.
