Limbaugh: Trump Used Cruz to Pull Off GOP Unity
Breitbart ^ | July 21,2016 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 07/21/2016 6:39:11 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Those were not technical glitches. It was done on purpose. The Trump campaign knew. They were already in the process of distracting from Cruz. I mean, Cruz may not have known it, he was backwards to that giant screen, but it went black. It was flashing. It looked like it had DirecTV and there’s a lightning storm. It gets pixelated for a while and then it went black. Then a portion of it was black.

It was distracting in and of itself, so much so the TV networks had to cover from a different angle, a side angle where the giant screen JumboTron, whatever it was, was not visible. So Cruz comes out, hijacks the convention from Megyn Kelly — who had been the number one attraction, someone with nothing to do with it. Cruz comes out, takes care of that, and then focuses attention on himself, which creates all kinds of not sympathy for Trump, but anger.

Because what happened, the party ended up asserting itself last night, the party that was previously in many sectors not all that warmed up to Trump. Some of them still remained a little cool to Trump. Some of those people are now joining the call to get behind the nominee. Cruz did that. Trump set the table and let it happen, knowing full well what Cruz was going to say. And I think it’s… To me, it is fascinating to see these kinds of things that are unexpected, because they would never be allowed to happen in any other convention.

It would be interesting to get Rush’s view of the 2016 convention but he’s still talking about the 1980 Dem Race and Teddy Kennedy.

Oh, and he’s running his damn laser printer for 3 solid hours. Any chance of show prep and having the hard copy in advance?

Sounds like Rush wants to remain on the air.

Rush is becoming so full of it he has gone delusional. Time to give it up Rush.

It also ended the Melania feeding-frenzy.

I had no idea what he was going on about when the program started today. Got so frustrated I turned it off and worked in the yard.

Yes, Rush.

Donald Trump can now read minds.

Donald Trump can see in the future...he knew what Cruz was going to do.

The poor SOB is deaf as a post and can’t hear the noise. Why won’t his staff point it out?

He’s got a studio full of state-of-the-art iMacs with 22-inch displays. Why is there a need for printouts anyway?

Donald Trump knew I was going to write this post.
He also knows Chuck Norris’s only weakness.

I do believe that, in letting Cruz speak, Donald
“played” Cruz. When some one is killing themselves politically, get out of their way!

Melania told all of us, “it wouldn’t be a Trump contest without excitement and drama!”
