I liked what Ted Cruz did last night at the RNC.

I had been turning the convention off and back on all evening, too grossed out by people who pretend that Crooked Donald Trump is fit to be President. I imagined on Election Day, with a Trump victory these people all feeling a huge hangover caused by Buyer's Remorse. 

The Joker caught the car. What's next?

So Crooked Ted Cruz gets up, gives a hellacious disgusting Ted Cruz speech. Then it turns. He talks about his father coming to the US with nothing, from Cuba, and I thought this is a sign. Remember in the last days of the campaign Trump was saying that Father Cruz was part of the JFK assassination. Maybe payback is coming. And it sure as hell did. Good for you Ted.

This morning the analysts are trying to figure out if this is good or bad for Cruz. They make it so complicated, when it isn't. Of course it's good for him, because he did something honorable and good for our country. 

Trump as President is a loss for everyone including Republicans. Either way win or lose, Cruz wins. At least he did something good for America when he had the chance. Who thought he had it in him. It took guts to do what he did. 

To people who say he's the only Repub to stand up for America, please. There are many. People I have trouble praising, but they deserve it. Notably John Kasich and Mitt Romney, who stuck their necks out earlier and more consistently than Cruz, who may well be self-serving. He's going to run in 2020 whether or not Trump is President. His speech last night was a classic declaration of a candidacy. A speech people will talk about as long as they talk about conventions (which is forever, they are historic events). The quieter protests, from Crooked Kasich and Crooked Romney and the Crooked Bush family, those are footnotes. Cruz grabbed the spotlight. Good for him, and good for America.

PS: Earlier in the evening an astronaut was supposed to endorse Crooked Donald, but didn't. So Ted's non-endorsement was not a first at this convention. 

PPS: As long as Repubs use the title "Crooked" for Hillary Clinton I'm going to use the title for Republicans. I encourage you to do it too. It's fun! And it might just possibly get someone's attention in RepubLand. They should grow the fuck up and stop playing stupid 5th grade games with people's reps.
