ByThomasBeaumont and Steve Peoples TheAssociatedPress CLEVELAND To chants of "2020, 2020," Republican Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednes- day left open the possibil- ity of a second White House run even as Donald Trump arrived in Cleveland to ac- cept the GOP presidential nomination. "I don't know what the fu- ture is going to hold. I don't know what's going to hap- pen," Cruz told his rowdy supporters, many of them cheering another bid. "But what I do know what re- mains unshakable is my faith in the men and women here." The freshman lawmaker with Texas-size political am- bitions has stopped short of a full-throated endorsement of Trump, his bitter primary rival who often mocked him as "Lyin' Ted." Cruz was slated to deliver a prime- time convention speech, but no endorsement was ex- pected. At a rally with some 900 delegates, donors, GOP of- ficials and supporters at a lakeside restaurant, Cruz never mentioned Trump's name during an appearance billed as a "thank you" event for supporters. "Our party now has a nominee,"CruzsaidWednes- day, just as Trump's plane flew overhead. The sena- tor laughed and said wryly: "That was pretty well-or- chestrated." With an eye toward 2020, Cruz's team drafted a con- vention speech focusing on adherence to the Constitu- tion, a calling card for con- servatives and a perceived contrast with Trump. Far from a Trump en- dorsement, Cruz said he and his followers had the duty "to follow our conscience." And he defined party unity on his terms: "To unite be- hindlibertyandforustoem- power the grassroots." If their reaction to Trump's jet landing is any indication, unity will be a difficult task. The crowd booed loudly as the aircraft emblazoned with "TRUMP," descended over the Cleve- land skyline. Many of Cruz's support- ers from around the coun- try came to thank him, shake his hand and pose for photographs. They crowded around him 10 people deep in the sun of an outdoor restaurant deck after his 20-minute speech. Donna Metz, Cruz's 2016 Kansas state co-chair- woman, wore a sparkling red, white and blue hat and was jostled in the crowd as she made her way toward Cruz. "Oh, my gosh, I hope he runs again," said Metz, of Eudora, Kansas. "He's by far the best candidate." Texas fundraiser Mica Mosbacher said Wednesday that Cruz has taken a "quan- tum leap" with his conven- tionspeechafteraroughpri- mary, but based on conver- sations with his advisers the senator and his team are not ready to fully back Trump. "I think they're about 80 percent there," said Mos- bacher, who expects Cruz to make overtures toward unity in his remarks. Paul Manafort, Trump's top campaign adviser, said Wednesday that it will be clear from Cruz's speech that he's supporting Trump, though "how he says it, I don't know." In a brief interview with The Associated Press, Manafort dismissed the im- portance of Cruz using the word endorse. "No, it doesn't at all. The point is the same. ...Ifhe'svoting,that'sthesig- nal," he said. POLITICS Cruz backers chant 2020 as 2n d Wh it e Ho us e ru n po ss ib le By Stephen Ohlemacher The Associated Press CLEVELAND With Donald Trump's campaign reel- ing from charges of pla- giarism, a speechwriter for his company took the blame and offered to re- sign over nearly identical passages from Melania Trump's Republican con- vention speech and Mi- chelle Obama's remarks eight years ago. The speechwriter, how- ever, made it clear that Me- lania Trump knew that the passages she read to an en- thralled convention Mon- day night had come from Michelle Obama. "A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama," the speechwriter, Meredith McIver, said of Mrs. Trump in a statement Wednesday from the campaign. "Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama's speech as exam- ples. I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech." The controversy hung over the opening days of the GOP convention, over- shadowing Mrs. Trump's performance, which was warmly received by those in the convention hall. It also distracted from an event designed to unify Republicans behind the billionaire businessman, while introducing his fam- ily to the nation. For two days, the Trump campaign tried to brush aside any talk of plagia- rism, calling the criticism absurd. The pushback from the Trump campaign was hard. At one point, cam- paign co-chairman Paul Manafort blamed Hillary Clinton for the controversy, though he offered no co- herent theory on how she could have orchestrated it.
