The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro has an interesting alternative theory about Ted Cruz’s speech to the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night: the Donald Trump campaign “orchestrated the boos.” Cruz camp confirms: Trump approved speech; Cruz was negotiating to help Trump w/ platform;
Trump orchestrated boos https://t.co/DiEMmaQRye— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) July 21, 2016
Shapiro’s source: the Cruz campaign.
Late Wednesday night, a source within the Cruz team informed Daily Wire exclusively that the Trump campaign had sandbagged Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) over his speech at the Republican National Convention. Cruz spoke at the RNC, where he congratulated Trump on his campaign victory, then spoke about the necessity for freedom and finally stated that Americans should “vote your conscience.” He was met with resounding boos on the floor of the convention; his wife Heidi had to be rushed from the room; according to reports, one Republican delegate physically accosted Cruz, and Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson refused to meet with Cruz.According to the source, the entire Cruz speech was cleared by the Trump campaign. Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, expressly approved the speech at 4:30 PM ET. The source, who was standing on the convention floor at the time of the speech, said that Trump operatives were present, urging the crowd to boo. “This was orchestrated by the Trump campaign to make Senator Cruz a pariah within the party,” said the source.

um... right
Now we can see why this lightweight was fired from Breitbart
Ben Shapiro is a complete loon.
He’s a pissant.
All Trump did is hand Ted some rope. Cruz decided to use it to hang himself all on his own. He had free will, his staff was urging him to endorse, yet he chose to be a petty, arrogant, sore loser. Such will be his legacy.
Yeah sure.
Trump wanted to sandbag Cruz when Cruz did a terrific job demolishing himself.
Its not like Ben Shapiro can’t see Cruz is his own worst enemy.
“This was orchestrated by the Trump campaign to make Senator Cruz a pariah within the party,” said the source.
I think Cruz took care of that himself.
So . . . he’s saying Trump is an evil genius?
Had the delegates been wearing tin foil hats the Trump satellite mind beams would no doubt have been blocked!
Unless Cruz showed Trump or his advisors what he was going to say, how did the crowd know in advance to boo him?
Michelle Fields’ poontang has made little Bennie crazy!
..Shapiro’s source: the Cruz campaign...
Just like the source that said Carson dropped out...from the Cruz campaign
More lies from lyin’ Ted
those were grassroots boos
Look at that. BS are Ben Shapiro’s initials. How appropriate!
That has never happened to me/S
I love how Trump’s candidacy is revealing how flaky the conservo-sphere is. Trust least of all our purported intellectuals.
So he’s saying it’s Trump’s fault what Cruz said....delusional.
First standard of a conservative is to take personal responsibility... These fake conservatives demonstrate their inner beings... They are lazy spoiled brats with liberal higher educations. They have destroyed the Bell Curve theory.
“a source within the Cruz team”
Stop the press! A source with the discredited oaf. Yeah that’s good stuff!
Please, will the nevertrump/cruz until we die crowd, please just get a life, how many more times can you embarrass yourselves?
Every bad thing that happens to you isn’t a conspiracy.... Cruz you got booed off the stage because the delegates didn’t like the fact you didn’t endorse the candidate... pure and simple.
Shapiro is just pathetic, he sounds like someone who got his ass beaten at school and did nothing about it. Textbook example of a cuck.
