It was effective, and gave the green light for a lot of people who were stuck on stupid. I presume a small percentage of votes in other states that Trump won came out as a result of the change in the Cruz position as well.
I'm not interested in trusting Ted over Trump, not at all. Ted could never have been as successful as Trump in implementing a conservative agenda. I just know that Trump won by only 10,000 votes in Michigan.
IMHO, time to let the Cruz wars go.
How many days did he spend in Michigan?
He came/went to Michigan one day, November 4th, 2016.
He attended three rallies.
At the first rally he didn’t mention the nominee’s name.
Seriously, he took a pass on saying, “Donald Trump” at that rally.
It was discussed here at length that day.
Pence made some great speeches, but Ted spent his time saying about as little in favor of Trump as he could.
Why are you forgetting about this?
Cruz probably spent about six-eight hours in state. Coupled with the 1.5 hours he spend making calls about 45 days earlier (if memory serves me well), this means Ted spent about 8 hours after the convention offering up token luke warm support for Trump.
He also refused to endorse Trump at the Convention.
Please stop trying to make the case that Cruz turned Michigan around. He did not.
Pence may have.
