Cruz — a bitter Trump rival from the primaries — used his speech earlier Wednesday night at the party’s convention to suggest that people vote their “conscience for anyone who will uphold the Constitution.”
Gingrich — a former House speaker who’s a Trump supporter — says Cruz’s advice actually amounts to an endorsement.
Gingrich says there’s only one candidate on the ballot in November who’ll uphold the Constitution — and that’s Trump, he says.
The convention hall booed Cruz after he finished his prime-time address — when he didn’t explicitly endorse Trump.
Cruz’ crazy speech just turned off millions of conservative voters from voting GOP this November. The civil war continues on the right…
Gingrich was not defending Cruz. He twisted Cruz’s words to make an even bigger fool out of him.
Anyone who actually LISTENED to the content of the speech heard Cruz make a better case for Donald Trump them Donald Trump has EVER done!!!
So he didn’t use the word “endorse,” BIG DEAL!! Trump hasn’t apologized either. So there!
