FOX White House correspondent reports to Dana Perino on administration’s reaction to Walsh. The “Whatever” remark, of course, was repeated..
Bottom line in the report and of interest for me was that 1) POTUS re-election team has long prepared for Republican primary entrants and 2) they learned from Cruz’ hanky panky about the gaming of both state conventions and national convention delegates, by 3) team Trump working in advance to protecting Trump delegates.
Cruz shenanigans were real. Hopefully, Trump support which still prevailed against all manner of dirty tricks, has so increased that there is no chance of poseurs interfering, again.
Same old, same old. Trump supporters keep their mouths shut to the pollsters, and like before continue to rail with enthusiasm for magnificent Trump, among their own.
Unlike a lot of people here I never supported Ted Cruz in 2016, and was strongly pro Trump and against Cruz.
But I’m not sure what you mean by Cruz hanky panky?
In any case there is really no comparison with this year
Trump is a popular incumbent with the entire GOP apparatus supporting him from the get go.
Walsh is merely a gnat.
Cruz was a serious candidate, and it was a tough race for Trump. He hired Manafort a couple months before the convention because there was still a chance of a brokered convention.
Cruz’s worst moment, to me, was house graceless non-concession, non-endorsement speech at the convention. It was unbecoming, and tarnished his image.
Walsh doesn’t have a national profile, and is going no where. Another blow-up Bill Kristol love-doll.
