“I agree with the sentiment and the need for it. I’m just not sure exactly what Cruz wants that could result in a real collaboration.”

I read somewhere the two of them met just a few days ago. I assumed that was where the negotiations took place. With Trump being the champion negotiator, I just assumed a deal was made.

Obviously the negotiations failed.

Once they failed, Cruz should not have been allowed to speak.

Today’s headlines were supposed to be all about the unveiling of Mike Pence. His name isn’t anywhere. All the news is Ted Cruz.

This is the second day out of three that the headlines are other than what the campaign planned.

Ninety five percent of the convention will be Trump’s speech so who cares? Still, this convention has not lived up to my expectations. I was expecting Trump to really put on a show. Instead, it’s been a pretty standard convention with some pretty big screw-ups.

Ya know, Mike Pence doesn’t need the headlines to be Mike Pence.

Cruz wanted a day back in the sun. He got it. Now maybe he can go back home now.

I think the crux of the matter is that Cruz believes in his heart he still has a campaign of sorts. I think that’s delusional and that whatever negotiations or meetings Trump may have had were not based on Trump believing otherwise of Cruz.
