He absolutely does!
Trump could have denied Cruz a speaking slot, in which case he would have been criticized for being so thin-skinned he couldn’t even risk any opposing views and Cruz could have lied and said he would have endorsed Trump.
Instead Trump gave Cruz enough rope to hang himself.
Nobody can criticize Trump for being willing to let his opponent have his say. And the world now knows Cruz is not a man of his word, and is too petty and arrogant to be gracious in defeat. Thank God we don’t have to worry about the Cruznadian Creep leading our country!
I don’t think he deserves a place in the Senate, but that’s up to the voters of Texas. Nor do I want him anywhere near the Supreme Court, but that is up to the President, which is to say “not gonna happen!”.
I agree with you. This does not hurt Trump at all. He gave Ted the opportunity to speak regardless of the endorsement. The Texas delegates (the ones that CSPAN interviewed) were very angry at Cruz last night.
And, the time slot that Cruz received was a primo spot. He could have made something of a splash in that spot nationwide. Instead, he got petty and vindictive and booed off the stage. Great move.

For myself, and I live in Texas....there is no way I would vote for Cruz. My personal opinion is that Cruz because of his aptly nick name of “Lying Ted” won’t get enough support to even launch a re-nomination for his seat in the Senate. Time will tell.
