Just watched it for the 3rd time. Ted definitely saw her down and didn’t skip a beat...stagecraft
True, but he wasn't near enough to be of any help.
There were many people much closer to Carly that could have at least reached down to give her a hand up. They only one who tried to reach out to Carly was Heidi Cruz.
Cruz is surrounded by people in the crowd, talking to people, and he probably has bright television lights aimed directly at his face. It is completely plausible that he didn't see her fall, and/or did not recognize that it was Fiorina who had fallen. Cruz didn't "definitely" see anything.
This Republican primary season is full of GOTCHA moments that aren't what they are touted to be. This is just another one. Both the Cruz and Trump camps push this cr_p, and I am sick of it.
