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:

Pence is going to have to do or say something pretty interesting to compete with Cruz news.

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

In all seriousness, @TedCruz probably needs to leave town. Reports of anger in the hall boiling over.

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

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