Trump Reveals the Truth About Cruz's Convention Speech

At a Friday morning speech to RNC volunteers, Donald Trump revealed the truth to about Ted Cruz's controversial speech. Addressing the elephant in the room, Trump noted that Cruz "got booed the hell out of the place. Then, as Townhall's Cortney O'Brien notes, he got into the specifics of things:

Trump’s Friday remarks were supposed to focus on the thank yous - and he did for the most part, spending a few particular moments thanking the secret service and the Cleveland police, but he felt compelled to respond to Cruz’s antics.

“He may have ruined his political career,” Trump said. “He’ll come and endorse because he has no choice.”

Yet, if he gives his endorsement, Trump said “he will not accept it.”

The GOP nominee then explained what happened Wednesday night.

“I saw his speech,” Trump said. His team told him it’s a "boring speech" and the Texas senator even congratulates him for his nomination.

Then, when Cruz stepped up to the podium, he added a sentence, “which could have been viewed as a nasty thing and implying something,” Trump said.

“That’s dishonorable,” he added. “To me not signing a pledge is dishonorable.”

“I don’t want his endorsement,” Trump repeated. “Ted, just stay home, relax.”

The mainstream media, which has been wrong about every single element of this election to date, is billing Cruz's speech as a victory. It might have provided small comfort to those in the American political class, but to conservative voters whose primary concern is beating Hillary, the speech was a total disaster that confirmed for grassroots voters what many in the establishment have been saying for years- that Cruz's primary interest is in promoting himself.
