    What a gong show. Trump walks out to take the spotlight off Cruz at the end of speech.

    Pretty pretty sure that Cruz's moment is going to look a little better than Rubio's in 4 years from now

    The GOP seems to be having trouble finding music by artists that will allow them to use it at the convention. May I suggest "crazy train" by ozzy. Seems perfect, especially after pence speech.

    What a thoroughly entertaining night. Bernie supporters must be wishing their candidate had Cruz's cojones.

    DJT is reaching out to the females.

    LI is pretty scary. the AG from FL and the "women in business for Trump" lady were pretty effing amazing too.

    I thought Mrs. Newt was going to start stuttering, her head was going to ratchet back and forth and then her face was going to fall off.

    but Teddy Ballgame? I seriously thought they were going to rush the stage with pitchforks.

    So many oh snap, are you effing kidding me moments....that RNC feed is pure gold. I'm avoiding the the network (especially CNN) commentary from here on in. CNN didn't even show the above salute live because AC was in the middle of a panel discussion about Melania that I switched off just in time to see the end of that truly wonderful Republican moment.

    Pete's Eminence Front was played earlier in the evening by GE Smith and the band.

    The sun shines
    And people forget
    The spray flies as the speedboat glides
    And people forget
    Forget they're hiding
    The girls smile
    And people forget
    The snow packs as the skier tracks
    People forget
    Forget they're hiding

    Behind an eminence front
    Eminence front, it's a put on
    It's an eminence front
    It's an eminence front, it's a put on
    An eminence front
    Eminence front, it's a put on
    Eminence front
    It's an eminence front
    It's an eminence front, it's a put on
    It's a put on, it's a put on, it's a put on

    Come and join the party
    Dress to kill
    Won't you come and join the party
    Dress to kill, dress to kill

    Drinks flow
    People forget
    That big wheel spins, the hair thins
    People forget
    Forget they're hiding
    The news slows
    People forget
    Their shares crash, hopes are dashed
    People forget
    Forget they're hiding

    Behind an eminence front
    An eminence front, it's a put on
    It's just an eminence front
    An eminence front, it's a put on
    An eminence front
    An eminence front, it's a put on
    Eminence front
    It's an eminence front, it's a put on
    It's a put on, it's a put on, it's a put on

    Come on join the party
    Dress to
    Come on join the party
    Dress to
    Come on join the party
    Dress to
    Come on join the party
    Dress to kill
    Dress yourself, dressed to kill

    Can't believe I'm saying this but good for Cruz! Didn't give into the political party bullshit and refused to endorse that piece of trash.

    I'm no fan of Cruz, and think he's a Christian jihadist like Pence, but I do like the shit stirring. That was fun and entertaining. I wonder how this will affect him going forward. Does he become a hero because he stood on principle? Does he become a pariah because he went back on his pledge and showed the party that he can't be trusted? Was Trump an idiot for letting Cruz go up there knowing full well Cruz wasn't going to endorse him? Was Trump a genius for letting Cruz go up there knowing full well Cruz wasn't going to endorse him, and would piss off the party faithful? The WA State Republican chairwoman cornered him by the elevators after his speech and told him he was a traitor. Our delegation was primarily Cruz supporters (I think we only had 1 Trump delegate), so she was a fan of Cruz until the speech. It was awesome to think about her head exploding during that speech.

    What will today bring?

    I love seeing all the progressive Ted Cruz haters showing their love for him now. It really is amazing. Let's be clear that everyone on here has always hated Cruz. Given the chance none of you would ever cast a vote for Ted Cruz. When Ted Cruz held up the budget deals over a year ago nobody on here thought he was speaking truth to power. I actually love what he did last night (although I believe it hurts him and not Trump over the long term) but let's not pretend that you all have some new found respect for the man which might put you in the Ted Cruz camp in the future.

    Cruz is an asshat. But it's worth saying something g when you alone are standing up against an entire party at the convention.
