He didn't help Trump and he could have done, as a minimum, what Ronald Reagan did in 1976 at the convention. The democrats are LOL. It allows the media to ignore the many good speeches last night.
Cruz didn’t help Hillary. He tried, yes. But all he really did was destroy himself and validate Trump as the right candidate. That’s why Trump let him speak, already knowing what he was going to say.
I agree that Cruz destroyed himself and validated Trump as the right candidate. I also agree that Trump let him speak, already knowing what he was going to say — Trump said as much.
I hope you are right that the existence of this rump group of Republicans doesn’t end up giving some strength to Hillary, or motivate Republicans to sit out the election. There are some states (North Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia in particular) where it looks in July 2016 like the November election will be close. We need a large-enough margin of victory for Trump to overcome the inevitable vote counting fraud that will occur as the Democrats cheat. Particularly in Virginia, where everyone is so politicized, it is very important to keep the Republicans motivated. Cruz’s behavior provides an excuse, though not justification, to those who don’t want to align themselves with Trump.
