2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLooks like ol' sack o' goo was hiding a spine in there all along.
Even After Republican Backlash, Ted Cruz Wont Endorse Trump Like A Servile PuppyYouve got to get over it, this is politics, an audience member shouted at Cruz.
Cruz expressed his disappointment that RNC attendees negatively reacted to his call to vote your conscience, saying politics arent a team sport with red jerseys and blue jerseys. He repeatedly insisted he would take a calm yet positive approach to this election, pointing out that he did not say a single negative word about Trump in his Wednesday night speech.
The way to win... is not just to scream and yell and attack as a traitor anyone who would dare question our candidate, Cruz said.

Cruz's positions are abhorrent, but he had the best demeanor of any of the R candidates during the primary.
