Not Everyone is Booing Ted Cruz For Not Endorsing Donald Trump
When Texas Senator Ted Cruz declined to endorse Republican nominee Donald Trump on the GOP convention stage, the reaction from delegates was immediate.
In the wake of his speech, people’s voices on social media have been more split: some laud his act as one of bravery, while others are happy to join in the boos. Here’s a sample of what people are saying about the non-endorsement;
Last night, Cruz showed that he's earned a leading role in the nation's political future. And that nation is Canada.

We tried to help and warn Ted Cruz. Very sad. Such brainpower. Such a shame.

Ted Cruz saying "vote your conscience" and being met with a chorus of boos will be in Hillary's ads this fall.

Ted Cruz is 45 years old.
Hillary Clinton is 68.
Donald Trump is 70.Cruz knows he is playing a very, very long game.

No joke: Cruz has positioned himself as the only prominent national Republican untainted by the Trump catastrophe. That is a big deal.

Since it's obvious the shock is contrived, let me ask: What the Hell did they expect from the son of the man who killed JFK? Light'n up.

Democrats weighed in as well:
Remember – this is the man who shut down the federal government because he didn't like affordable health care for all. #BetterThanThis

And of course, so did Trump.
Wow, Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge! I saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway. No big deal!

Cruz, it seems, is feeling pretty chipper during his morning-after:
Look forward to joining the @TexasGOP delegation breakfast this morning at #RNCinCLE!
