How did ABC messed up?
“Doctor Ben Carson” was clearly called. Maybe he was waiting for the applause to stop before stepping out, when they called for Cruz.
Carson messed up by not walking into the podium..
You have to understand, what you me in the audience watching on TV, online etc, are hearing are from noise cancelling microphones, designed to pick up mostly the person at the mic.
The thing is, live on stage you’re getting the full brunt of sound from the applause, along with the announcer. It’s very different being there live.
I didn’t hear his name called. Cruz didn’t blink and sprinted quickly on stage. Trump is a statesman. So long since country and media has seen one they are used to the lower bar, politicians.
