The problem is trusting Cruz to do the right thing.

You have to think like Cruz.

Cruz pondering: If I support Trump now...as the presumptive nominee, I declare myself a loser.

If I wait to do it AFTER the votes and declaration of Trump as the actual nominee, I fulfill my obligation...and can go on my way. There's nothing in that declaration that say my heart has to be in it...

Sorry...that's Cruz.

Yes, History is filled with examples of people who should never have been given time at the convention to speak - Christie, Ted Kennedy, Pat Buchanan to name a few.

That said, Trump needs a convention that shows unity, otherwise the theme will be a party divided and that ain't good for winning in November. If Trump loses and Cruz doesn't endorse him as promised, I think he's ruined. Ted may see it differently, but there is no way Trump lets him speak unless he's on board to unite the party behind Trump. IMHO, of course.
