What was the effect of Cruz on the TRUMP campaign?

I believe Cruz knew what he was doing, he shared his speech hours beforehand, he decided very consciously not to endorse Trump because he had not forgiven Trump for what he perceived as a personal insult against his wife and father. This was deeply personal for Ted.
He also gambled that if he did not endorse Trump and Trump fails in Nov. that it would set him up as the wise guy in 2020 for the Republican nominee.
Lastly he decided that the unity in the party was less important to him than sticking with his wife. From his perspective wise, as he has to live with his wife every day.
Did it hurt the Republican party, I do not think so. Donald Trump's speech was brilliant yesterday and he opened up for many new voters to come into the party and vote for Trump. The party is more galvanized and united after the perceived Cruz booing scandal, but in actuality it united the RNC much more. Watch the celebrations and the mood of the complete RNC crowd after Ivanka's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er5bE6eYf7k
and Donald's speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Svt3kfq1c yesterday night.
And Watch the Polls go up for Donald. He will be the next President of the United States. And we will be proud of him helping him to become that President. He will do an outstanding job for America. Donald is doing it out of love for America. God bless you all.
Here is an article from CNN that comes to the same conclusion at the end: Donald might become President of the United States. https://www.cnn.com/2016/07/22/opinions/donald-trump-republican-convention-speech-stanley/

5 年As a Texan & knowledgeable of the character of Rafael Edward Cruz b4 political office what is not known by many is Ted Cruz defended the United States Consttution 12 occasions in World Court. He beat a long time Texas family socialist Democrat powerhouse in Kay Bailey Hunchinson to win US Senate Seat. He was the prequel of "Draining the Swamp" meme in 2012 before POTUS45 Trump as Freshman Senator fighting the global communism of POTUS44 Obama. Cruz was hated just as much then as now POTUS45 is today. You know he was offered VP by Trump initially before then Governor Pence, and when he turned Trump down (We Texan do not like 2nd Place) he also was offered by Trump a Supreme Court Justice Seat after turning down the VP position also? Both positions to serve the President. But alas the bitterness was fresh. Yet, being a Bible Believing Christian and like POTUS45 his love of Country and a true Patriot, and a real man of and to the People of Texas as well as a Gentlemen he understood his call at this point in history was to be an asset to POTUS45 moreso remaining in the Senate to cause utter damage to fake Republicans like Mitch McConnell and the treasonous John McCain and moreso the communist globalist democrats. Insight my Brother.
