Jeff Roe: Cruz Could Play Big Part at Convention Unifying GOP Behind Trump

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Ted Cruz's campaign manager, Jeff Roe, comments on what Trump can do at the Republican Convention to unite the party: Give Ted Cruz a prominent role.

JEFF ROE: I would be remiss if I didn't point out that without data, without online fund raising, they kicked my butt anyway. That's on top of us raising $93 million, which was a record (at the time) for Republican primaries, getting eight million votes.

Mr. Trump has a way to control the news cycle. I believe they will be able to put it together, but they have to get going now. The time -- it boils down to data and analytics and ground really equates to about a point and a half, 2.5, 3.5, points depending on how the Democrats are doing it. And the Democrats are doing it well, because they --the Clintons-- have won so many campaigns within the margin of error.

That typically means that the ground game made the difference. I think they [the Trump campaign] have time.

The RNC has done a good job ramping up. It's a generic model. They will need to make it Trump specific. But if you look at the polls the last few days, after what has been six and a half weeks of pretty tough stuff for the Trump people, he's still in margin error or up in places where he needs to be. In fact he's doing better than you would anticipate him doing in places like Pennsylvania and others.

I think there's time to catch up. They do have to get going very quickly...

Please explain WHY Cruz “deserves” a prominent role in the convention, when he has show ZERO interest or support in Trump’s candidacy, and this entire “#NeverTrump sentiment and convention coup has his fingerprints all over it??

Sorry, but Ted should fade into obscurity and take his sycophantic sheeple with him.

Trump doesn’t play catch up.
Trump plays, YOU catch up, if you can.

Giving a role to someone who would benefit by your losing, and who has shown a talent for duplicity, seems like a bad idea.

And most likely spending less than Jeff Roe’s fee in the process. LOL!

He could, but it will never happen unless Trump makes some apologies first.

I heard an interview with Jeff Roe the other day. He made it sound like Cruz wants to be on the ticket.

Cause 560+ Delegates means something, even to this corrupt 'GOP'

Cruz is out last hope to pull Trump FURTHER to the Conservative RIGHT.

This is in ALL our best interest.

Ah, jeez.

I’ve been wondering when this sloth would come around begging.

No thanks!

cRuz had his chance to do just this....right after he ‘suspended’ his race.

Has cRuz endorsed Trump, yet? Has he released his delegates to Trump, yet?

He’s not Canadian. He’s been a US citizen since birth. Please stop lying about a solid conservative Republican. He’s on our side, more than most Republicans.

Trump is further to the right, than Lyin Ted ever was or likely will be.

Did you hear Trump blame the Chicago rally violence on his ‘tone’?

The question needs to be raised. Has Ted Cruz sold his soul to the Globalists?

Ted sold his soul during the campaign. I’m very disappointed in him. He coulda been a contenda.
