A post on another thread suggests that "supporting" and "endorsing" aren't the same thing, so Cruz didn't actually break his pledge.

What is your reaction to that post?

>A post on another thread suggests that “supporting” and “endorsing” aren’t the same thing, so Cruz didn’t actually break his pledge.

Here’s the pledge Ted and all the rest signed:

The text of the pledge: “I [name] affirm that if I do not win the 2016 Republican nomination for president of the United States I will endorse the 2016 Republican presidential nominee regardless of who it is. I further pledge that I will not seek to run as an independent or write-in candidate nor will I seek or accept the nomination for president of any other party.”

The people claiming he didn’t break it are liars.

I think Cruz is a lying scumbag, and anyone who tries to give him a pass on this isn’t much better.

It was strictly an anti-Trump move, and it just blew up in Cruz’s face!

In more ways than one.

By saying 'VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE' , Cruz has inspired people to use their minds and think for themselves, instead of just accepting what the media throws at them.

Those who think for themselves usually make better decisions.

So, even though he said it to imply people should not vote for Trump, it will and has backfired on him.

I think that history will agree with you. Fifty years from now, people will still hark back to Cruz' stunning betrayal.
