'Dark' Trump to America: 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'
Posted in: Uncategorized
So that happened.
Before I get to the final day of life in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention, first a retrospective note: Remember that time Ted Cruz stole the show by not endorsing Donald Trump during his big RNC speech? When was that again? Oh, right — Wednesday night. (Seems so long ago now.) Well, on Thursday afternoon I attended a Politico Live panel moderated by Politico’s Susan Glasser and Glenn Thrush — this week Politico took over the 21st floor of Cleveland’s historic Huntington Building to create a rather impressive temporary hangout and event space — and Ted Cruz campaign manager Jeff Roe was one of the panelists.
“We were grateful that Donald reached out and offered a slot,” Roe said of Cruz’s primetime platform, but, he added, “It was never part of the consideration to endorse.” So there you have it: Cruz’s people knew what he was doing, and the Trump camp knew what Cruz was doing, and the Cruz-related chaos was welcomed onto the RNC stage by Donald Trump himself.
