GOP Convention Day 3: Big Political Stars Set Stage For VP Pick Mike Pence
Before speaking at the Republican National Convention Wednesday night, the Texas senator and 2016 GOP primary runner-up had gathered over 1,200 of his volunteers and backers at a restaurant on a dock along the Cleveland waterfront, firing them up as though he was back at a campaign rally.
He hadn't mentioned Trump at all, instead boasting of the victories they amassed in the primary and just how close they came.
"In an amazing campaign field of 17 talented, dynamic candidates, we beat 15 of those candidates," Cruz said. We just didn't beat 16."
"Our party now has a nominee," he started. And as if on cue, the billionaire businessman's plane emblazoned with "TRUMP" across the side flew overhead to land nearby.
"That was pretty well orchestrated," Cruz said, laughing, taking it in stride as many supporters began booing loudly.
