He HAS NOT SAID THAT HE WOULD HONOR HIS PLEDGE AND WOULD SUPPORT TRUMP IF HE IS THE NOMINEE. In fact he is saying something quite different....see below...IMHO He is holding out in hopes of being beneficiary of convention shenanigans.
Ted Cruz refused to commit his support to Donald Trump as the Republican nominee on Tuesday, and did not rule out resurrecting his campaign for president despite having dropped out of the race last week.
In an interview with conservative talk show host Glenn Beck, the Texas senator said that picking a presidential candidate “is not a choice that we as voters have to make today”.
His comments came as Marco Rubio, the Florida senator who suspended his own presidential bid in March, said he would support Trump as the nominee.
During an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Rubio said he intended to stick to a pledge signed by all of the Republican candidates last year to back the eventual nominee.
“I signed a pledge, put my name on it, and said I would support the Republican nominee and that’s what I intend to do,” Rubio said.
Cruz appeared less bound by the pledge, which has already been discarded by former contenders Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham – both of whom have come out against Trump despite his all but clinching the Republican nomination.
Cruz pointed out there were still two months until the Republican National Convention in Cleveland and six months until the general election, saying “we need to watch and see what the candidates say and do”.
He pledged to support the nominee. There is no nominee yet, so what are you rambling on about?
