It seems the Manfort/Stone New York style of politics closely resembles the Obama/Rahm style.

Late Wednesday night, a source within the Cruz team informed Daily Wire exclusively that the Trump campaign had sandbagged Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) over his speech at the Republican National Convention. Cruz spoke at the RNC, where he congratulated Trump on his campaign victory, then spoke about the necessity for freedom and finally stated that Americans should “vote your conscience.” He was met with resounding boos on the floor of the convention; his wife Heidi had to be rushed from the room; according to reports, one Republican delegate physically accosted Cruz, and Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson refused to meet with Cruz.

According to the source, the entire Cruz speech was cleared by the Trump campaign. Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, expressly approved the speech at 4:30 PM ET.

Cruz voluntarily took his name off of the ballot at the convention to avoid possibly embarrassing Trump. He even had to be cajoled into speaking last night.

WHY do you suppose it would be so important for Trump to humiliate him this way?

1. He was the only person running who actually stood against the establishment in both parties.
2. He was the only candidate who really took it to Trump, and like business owners who try to compete with him, he plays scorched earth and doesn't just try to win, but destroy them for all time.
