18. Why?...

Jul 2016

Most Republicans (certainly the establishment) are disgusted by Trump, most refusing to even attend the convention, and those being vetted for VP ran away as fast as they could. Hell, I think he's crazy but I applaud his actions tonight.

It would seem that Cruz would be a hero after standing up that jackass and the thugs in that arena.

Just curious why you think his political career is 'finished'.
