Mastermind Trump gave Cruz some rope in the form of a primetime speaking opportunity, hoping it would be used to bind the party together.
Instead Cruz, driven by his insatiable ego, used it to commit political suicide in front of the Republican convention and millions of TV viewers.
All because he was too petty to be a gracious loser.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 18m18 minutes ago Wow, Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge! I saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway. No big deal!
Trump’s a genius, he already tweeted that he saw the speech and told Ted Cruz he was fine with it..he knew that Cruz would hang himself LIVE on national TV and he did..actually I think he was hoping that Cruz would do the right thing and give SOME kind of endorsement, even if it was half ass just say SOMETHING..which I guess he did by saying to “Vote your conscience” OK cool I vote my conscience, I vote for Trump!
