Trump outsmarted Cruz. In a battle of wits with Trump, Cruz was unarmed.
Trump tweeted that Cruz didn’t honor his pledge and that he’d seen the speech two hours before but let him speak anyway. “No big deal.”

I like Cruz but he walked into Trumps trap.

I’ve read things here at FR periodically through the night about Cruz and what he said. I didn’t watch him because I was afraid he’d do exactly what he did. I’d hoped he wouldn’t, but he did.
I’ve read other night - one news crew had spent 5 solid hours on plagiarism - this or that speech writer is a Democrat - One network apparently saying “Ted is a man of honor.
The ironic thing here is the bit about honor. All night long, days even, we’ve heard this “your word is your bond” thing. Is not a pledge a bond? Is it not significantly more than an invitation [to speak]?
Two men signed a pledge. One man kept it. That same man honored his invitation even though he knew it what would be said.
Who has the honor here? Conscience? Vote your conscience? I looked up the definition and it really didn’t tell me anything but that Cruz let his personal sense of whatever override his bond.
