Day Three Of The Republican Convention Got A Little Wild

More evidence for the case that Cruz intentionally tried to undermine Trump: His Twitter account just retweeted an article from Conservative Review’s Amanda Carpenter that praised his convention speech and contained the following line:

Cruz stayed true and gave those concerned with Trump a reminder of what the other members of the Republican Party can and should stand for even though unworthy leader looms among us.

Carpenter has frequently used the #NeverTrump hashtag and, earlier this evening, said that the Trump kids were “not a reason to make Trump commander-in-chief.” https://twitter.com/amandacarpenter/status/755938028045164545

Just to answer a question we’ve been getting on Twitter a lot: Heck yes, the Cruz speech (and the booing) merits an emergency elections podcast. Check your feeds first thing in the morning.

Pence made an obligatory jab at the media, saying that the press would do “half the work” for Clinton in her race against Trump/Pence. But an analysis by Harvard’s Shorenstein Center of coverage from January to June, during the primary season, found that Trump fared far better in both quantity and favorability of media coverage than Clinton.
