Republican nominee for President

One more point of note about the RNC this week. I certainly think that Ted Cruz just committed political suicide in front of the entire nation. By being petty and not endorsing Trump (purely on personal reasons), he told the entire GOP and most likely Trump voters in November to get bent. There was a reason he was booed off the stage and people were wanting to fight him later that night.

On the donor suite level, people approached Cruz and insulted him, a source told CNN's Dana Bash. One state party chair reacted so angrily that they had to be restrained.
Cruz, who has long sought the support of GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson, was turned away when he tried to enter Adelson's suite.

Andy Abboud, a senior aide to the Las Vegas casino magnate, said Cruz was initially invited to come up to visit the Adelsons, but when he failed to endorse Trump the invitation was rescinded.

"When he didn't endorse, they were stunned and disappointed," Abboud told CNN.

Cruz is fucked.He'll never get anymore backing after what he did at the RNC this week. He was already a hated man, but he still had some big money backers at the time. That's gone. The main purpose of the RNC is to unite the party, yet Cruz took this time to give them all the finger and show them why he's hated so much in Washington, DC. He may still be voted in as Senator in Texas again, but his political career beyond that is toast. Ashes. Hell, judging by his facebook page, it's very likely he might even be replaced in Texas. There were many of his supporters turning on him for not endorsing Trump. It was a bold move Cotton. We'll see how it plays out.

The thing about this whole squabble between Cruz and Trump started when a super pac supporting Cruz attacked Donald Trump's wife Melania. Cruz had the opportunity to denounce it and to refuse any support from that group. No, he simply denied it and allowed it to fester until Trump hit back with the upper cuts. Cruz has been deplorable this election cycle with the dirty tricks to Ben Carson and Trump. Fuck him.
