So Ted Cruz got booed at the RNC because his speech stopped short of offering a public endorsement of the Trump/Pence (more on Pence later) ticket. What does that say about the Republican party? Nothing new, really. It tells us that politics is, as it has always been, an insiders' game. So here's my message to Ted Cruz. Ted, thank you. Thank you for being one principled man amongst a sea of spineless politicians. Thank you for going against your initial promise to endorse the Republican candidate. You had every reason (both political and personal) in the world to do so. Thank you for committing political suicide by refusing to do what the establishment wanted you to do. Thank you for putting your family before your chances of becoming the president in eight years. Thank you for refusing to grovel at the feet of Donald Trump in hopes of garnering an appointment to a cabinet position. Thank y...
