Trump, speaking to supporters in Cleveland the morning after accepting the Republican nomination for president, said Cruz “may have ruined his political career” with his convention speech.
Cruz declined to endorse Trump Wednesday night and was booed by the arena crowd when he urged Republicans to “vote your conscience.”
Trump did not touch upon the incident in his convention speech. But he changed course Friday morning, gleefully recalled that Cruz “was booed off the stage.”
“I like Ted, he’s fine,” Trump said. “But I don’t want his endorsement. If he gives it, I will not accept it.”
Trump was also, re-litigating a pair of primary flaps he had with former rival Cruz, by bringing up his own comments about Cruz’s father, Rafael, and wife, Heidi, which Cruz has cited in his decision to not endorse Trump.
But then Trump dove back into the pair of controversies, which includes Trump’s retweet during the primaries of an unflattering photo of Cruz’s wife, Heidi. On Friday, he praised Heidi as beautiful and suggested the incident started because Cruz supporters sent a risque photo of Trump’s wife Melania on a political ad. The Cruz campaign denied involvement.
Next, Trump praised the reporting of the National Enquirer, which had written a piece suggested that Cruz’s father had been photographed with Lee Harvey Oswald, President Kennedy’s assassin. There is no evidence of a link between the two men.
How typical. He gets insulted and he comes out swinging. This goes to show you that there will not be a Republican in the White House in 2017. This idiot is now concentrating on an insult from a fellow Republican and isn’t even close to ready for a general election.
Lets be serious you and I were not photographed with Lee Harvey Oswald.. Why was Mr Cruz senior? No link? none what so ever?.. Havana.. gangsters ..Jack Ruby.. Lee Harvey Oswald.. I do not think its totally an innocent scenario.. do you?
Yes I remember when that fight started ….Cruz shouldnt have sent that photo of he couldn’t handle the response from Trump
And a response he got
sour grapes
Trump will be MATZLIACH in his campaign against the atla woman.
Not sure if Cruz ruined his political career but Trump is ruining his political career before it even started! How stupid… just accepted the nomination from GOP the night before but all he can tell the press next morning is to bash Cruz for not endorsing him!! This guy is not temperamentally fit for White House custodian!!
So Trump won’t accept Ted Cruz’s endorsement, but David Duke’s he has no problem with.
Trump is such a sore loser.
