I’m not suggesting anyone “hire” Cruz. What I’m saying is that the Trump team made an extremely dumb choice this evening (dumb that is if their intention is to win in November). They chose “get even” over “unify”.
What needed to happen this week, and quite frankly it should already have been done, is to unify the base so that Trump can focus on reaching out to others.
they just don’t get it.. We don’t need them.
If offering cruzhole a primetime slot on day 3 of the convention is Trump’s act of — as you imply — dividing the base, then you are beyond help.
Bullcrap.
Trump had the choice to allow Cruz to speak or not. If Trump had NOT allowed Cruz to speak, THAT would have been vindictive, and people like you would have been screaming. Barring Cruz from the stage would have been dumb.
But Trump did the smart thing by figuratively handing Cruz a piece of rope. Cruz could have used that rope to bind people together, but instead he used that piece of rope to hang himself.
It's a shame that this supposedly brilliant person was so blinded by his ambition that he couldn't see what the outcome would be, but by looking back over the primary campaign, what Cruz did last night was totally in character.
