Last night Trump allowed Cruz to torpedo his 2020 chances and unify the party around Trump all in 20 minutes. Brilliant.
Yup. I haven’t seen this much interest in a national political convention since the 1976 RNC when Reagan and Gerald Ford were in a tight race that wasn’t decided until the balloting at the convention. Trump certainly masterminded the Melania speech “fiasco”. He probably knew about the attempted coup on Monday and knew ahead of time that Cruz would not endorse him, but he let both events go forward and the end result was Mike Lee and Ted Cruz destroying themselves. Now Trump will come in to clean up the “mess” and give his acceptance speech in front of a large TV and Internet audience. Trump set the narrative for this convention himself and is running circles around everyone.
