Ted Cruz Torches Trump's Convention

Jul 21, 2016

Earlier in the week, Donald Trump did an hour-long interview with the Golf Channel as counter-programming to his own convention.

Tonight, Trump decided to keep the counter-programming in house, by letting Ted Cruz go up on stage off-script and refuse to endorse him.

Let’s just say people won’t be talking about Mike Pence’s acceptance speech tomorrow:

@RyanLizza
Pence is going to have to do or say something pretty interesting to compete with Cruz news.
10:48 PM – 20 Jul 2016

@ChadPergram
Some #RNCinCLE officials are mad as fire that Cruz failed to endorse Trump
10:53 PM – 20 Jul 2016

@KatyTurNBC
Trump campaign expected Cruz to talk for 10 minutes. Cruz’ prepared remarks went 9 minutes. He spoke for 23 minutes.

@passantino
The look on the Trumps faces as they watched Cruz’s speech

@RosieGray
Just spoke to a source who says witnessed the head of the WA delegation go “bananas” on Cruz and call him a traitor

@1PatriciaMurphy
In all seriousness, @TedCruz probably needs to leave town. Reports of anger in the hall boiling over.
10:46 PM – 20 Jul 2016

@chucktodd
Why did Trump folks risk allowing Cruz to speak on the third night of this convo? Pence has been stepped on. Big time

@RosieGray
btw, on Cruz speech: I’m told Trump campaign approved the text

Texas Trump supporter on Cruz non-endorsement: “I think it’s disgraceful” #RNCinCLE

@lanheechen
This @mike_pence speech is good but won’t drive the news tomorrow. The @tedcruz speech and reaction will be the story.
