Trump might have figured out Cruz would try a 3rd party run or something so he gave him the rope so Cruz could hang himself . Now everyone knows what Cruz is a liar and a jerk and a Canadian foreigner that should really leave my country right now.
“Trump might have figured out Cruz would try a 3rd party run or something so he gave him the rope so Cruz could hang himself”
Looks that way. Trump tweeted after the convention that he’d seen the speech a couple of hours before Ted spoke, and deliberately let him go ahead and do it anyway. Anyone reading that speech before hand would have had to know that Cruz would be committing political suicide in an EXTREMELY public manner.
To me, the real question is how come Cruz didn’t know that’s what was going to happen. Insanity? Monumental arrogance? Completely out of touch with reality?
