I agree Trump knew that Cruz would hang himself if allowed to speak. Anyone who still supported Cruz before this likely turned on him after that speech. It was a good way to show off Ted’s true character.

“Anyone who still supported Cruz before this likely turned on him after that speech.”
You got that right. I gave money to Cruz all through the primaries, voted for him in the New York primary, and have continued to donate to his Senate campaign. After last night, forget it. I do think we need him in the Senate because he’ll be a reliable conservative, but I’ll never support another run by him for President.
