So Ted Cruz stuck around and headed to donor-suite level after his speech? He fucking hates his party and fellow senators, shits in the punchbowl every day, and showed up to the convention with the express intention to be a dick. Leave in a blaze of glory, dude!
I mean, he got away with murder! Competently run conventions vet EVERY single speech for conformity to the party and candidate message. Speeches adhere to the theme of the day. Chants adhere to the candidate themes and slogans. It’s all orchestrated to reinforce each other. And yet here is Trump, supposed master negotiator, letting Cruz say whatever the fuck he wants, ON PRIME TIME!
So yeah, you made a fool of Trump. Congrats! But then get the fuck out of Dodge, because that stunt made you zero friends.
