Discussion: Reports: Trump Camp Whipped Up Crowds' Angry Response To Cruz Bomb

Smells like really rancid reality TV - they almost can’t be this idiotic and bizarre without being scripted. What’s next? The Pence sextape?

All this yelling about “lock Hillary up”…but it is Manafort who really should be questioned by law enforcement authorities. He looks like a Mafia don, a poor man’s Gotti. Really gives me the creeps. And his ties to some of the most unsavory characters on the planet reinforces that. This guy looks more like a criminal than anyone else I know.

Hitler always made sure the guards let in a few hecklers. Makes everyone excited like anything could happen.

Perfectly appropriate as, after all, this convention is the largest gathering ever of individuals who believe the moon landing was fake but professional wrestling is real.

Trump is almost as much of a sleaze bag as Cruz.

Tactics of a high school bully.

So did Trump’s campaign see this coming and actually wanted it to happen rather than forcing Cruz to change his remarks?

I mean…that would be the stupid thing to do so fits into “Trump’s razor”.

I think Trump knew what Cruz was going to do and planned the televised put down of Cruz. After Cruz called the out the “football team quarterback in the lunch room” (vote your conscience), the quarterback dumped his food plate (splashy entrance pulling cameras and attention from Cruz) over Cruz’s head and everyone present laughed Cruz out of the school (Republican Party). Cruz will only be viable again in the Republican Party if or when Trump loses to Hillary.

drumpfucking - v. doing something you know is wrong based simply on the actions and encouragement of someone calling themselves trump.

I posted in another place that I didn’t think that Trump knew what Cruz was going to do. I should amend it, but I’m still not sure that he knew. Manafort, on the other hand, at least had an inkling. Having operatives all over the floor is actually closer to traditional convention management than anything else that has happened this week. Its what he should have done. Given the history of the campaign, even Cruz should have seen it coming (and probably did).

Thank you. I’ve been saying this for days now (see above). The similarities in appearance, body language, attitude not to mention choice of companions is frightening.
