I am reading on the HotAir twitter feed that Cruz’s comments were vetted by the Trump team?
I think someone is dropping the ball like they did on Mrs Trump’s speech.
This is prime time and cant be giving anything to the Lame Stream media that is just waiting to pounce on silly things and blowing them up to epic proportions.
Maybe the Trump campaign figured the pandemonium that would erupt over Ted’s speech would finally get the MSM to talk about something other than he wife’s speech.
Scuttlebutt on FoxNews was the opposite, the speech was not vetted by the campaign. That can be spun in opposite directions, one being that the campaign is incompetent for allowing that (it is unheard of, unconventional, risks the convention tenor, etc.); the other way is that it is magnanimous and wise to allow a friend?/foe? the rope to reveal themselves.
I read that it was vetted too. Everyone but Cruz and a few nutty supporters should have known it wasn’t going to go over.
I read Cruz submitted a 9 minute speech.... Then spoke for 23 minutes... off script.
Trump was generous in giving Cruz the rope with which he hung himself.
