Jeff Roe: Cruz Could Play Big Part at Convention Unifying GOP Behind Trump
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 24, 2016 | Tim Hains

(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...

Harley, you’re one of the FReepers that swallows every conspiracy theory that comes along without an ounce of skepticism. So when you say something like this is “true”, it just means you and a few of your paranoid buddies got together and confirmed your own biases.

The truth is that Trump took a story from a tabloid with zero supporting evidence and used it to attack another candidate’s family member.

No, you need to prove that he is either *not* a US citizen, or that he became one at some point after his birth.

He was born to a parent who was a US citizen. By default he is a US citizen. You have to prove otherwise.

Cruzers: please self-deport from Free Republic. We are for SOVEREIGNTY here, not TPP, NAU, etc. Go find somewhere else to defend Cruz and his globalism.

Yes he can and I think will.

Actually, that is the *ONLY* ‘big part’ he can play at the convention. I expect him to rise to the opportunity.

He is not Canadian. You said he was. You either lied, or are just ignorant.

And courts have affirmed his being a US Natural Born Citizen. You can choose to remain ignorant about that fact as well if you’d like.

Embrace ignorance, EG. Reject evidence, facts, proof.

Take your cruzbot butt and go somewhere else...we are done with Cruz and anyone connected to Cruz, he’s a LOSER always has been and always will be and the only followers he has are losers also, like Glen Beck...REALLY!!! You want to talk about insanity, start there, then look at yourself in the mirror, you’ll find another one!!!

“He was born to a parent who was a US citizen. By default he is a US citizen. You have to prove otherwise.”

This is not an exercise in logic. Show me the papers or STFU.

The salient point is Count Copulot is not nor will he ever be a natural born Citizen

I’m not a “Cruzer”, I back the nominee of the Republican party.

That doesn’t mean I am going to suddenly start pretending Trump is a saint and worshipping the ground he walks on. If he’s told a lie (and he has) I am not going to pretend it’s not a lie to satisfy your tender sensibilities. Deal with it.

A "story from a tabloid" planted by a Trump operative -- Roger Stone.

I’m not claiming that Crfuz’s dad was invilved in the JFK killing. I am, however, saying, he was in New Orleans with Oswald, and that IS truth. People have stretched the truth on what was said.

Cruz would be nothing but poison on a Trump ticket. He has proved himself to be ungracious, unforgiving and unChristian. I would be very disappointed in Trump if he gave Cruz any position at all, because he just doesn’t deserve it. I used to be a Cruz supporter but now I loathe him and would hate to have to listen to his voice ever again.

No, you think for yourself - Cruz was born a Canadian citizen - and that’s verifiable fact. When was he naturalized? We don’t know that, now do we, since he sealed his records. Get your head out of your butt and think for YOURSELF. He gave up his Canadian citizenship in 2014 - so, you answer these questions for us. Maybe he was never naturalized, but became a citizen under Reagan’s amnesty program in 1986. Your thought processes are warped.

If Cruz was on our side/a true conservative he would not have been planning to increase H-1B visas by over 500%. Ted soccer balls and teddy bears Cruz is on the Globalist’s side.

‘whether Cruz is active or not will be up to Trump’

So whether Cruz keeps his word and honors his promise to support the nominee is up to Trump.

Got it.
