I don’t think Pence was dampened...I think it was planned that way to show why Trump never wanted Cruz to begin with, after watching Lying, Crying Ted and then watching Mike Pence, people got to see the brightness, loyal, and experience of a Vice President that will work along side of President Trump to Make America Great Again...
That is why Trump didn’t stop Ted, he gave him the rope and bingo, he hung himself all by himself, and because of himself...
GO.TRUMP/PENCE.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
My point was all attention should have been on Pence but you are correct the contrast was breath taking!
