Hopefully this is the last time I'll have to put on my flak jacket to talk about Ted Cruz. While his speech at the Republican National Convention opened wounds from the primary campaign and seems to have strengthened the resolve of the Never Trump crowd, I wanted to take a look at the speech, which, overall, with its theme of freedom was very good.
As the primary campaign narrowed down to two viable candidates in May, the Republican Party was divided into four major segments. The Republican establishment had Mitt Romney as their leader, saying don’t vote for Trump, but they offered no alternative candidate. Then there was the diminishing number of Ted Cruz supporters who held on onto their hope going into the Convention that he could somehow become the nominee.
