than the way that Trump and the GOP are portraying it.

Cruz told Trump in advance that he wouldn't endorse him. Trump told him that he wanted him to come anyway and to speak. Trump's people saw the speech in advance. They knew exactly what was going to happen.

It appears that Trump had his whip organization on the floor of the Convention prompting the delegates to boo him. And it appears that the whole thing was pre-orchestrated and played out exactly the way that Donald intended it to.

If those weren't the details then I would agree with you that Ted should have just stayed home like Kasich did.
