I would not blame Ted Cruz for an instant if he declines to publicly support Donald Trump if Trump fails to apologize because every such commitment to support the nominee carries with it an implied condition that the nominee behave within civilized norms.

A pledge is a pledge, and your claim that Trump insinuated that Raphael Cruz is somehow complicit in the assassination of John F. Kennedy is, as usual, false.

I don't care if Trump called Cruz's mother a whore!

If Cruz can't overlook all the juvenile insults in the world in order to preserve this Republic by doing everything in his power to see to it that Hillary Clinton isn't elected, then he's no conservative and no Patriot. And showing party unity is critical to that process.

Donald Trump has repeatedly complimented Ted Cruz since the Indiana Primary, and Cruz has shown no grace whatsoever in return.

This election is too important for the type of immature pettiness that Ted Cruz is displaying. He lost. It's time to face that fact and start working towards beating Hillary. Refusing to unify is placing that goal in ever greater jeopardy. You can gripe about Trump's pettiness all you want, but he has won the nomination, and that's that.

As usual, Ted Cruz is once again ceding the moral high ground to Trump. AND THAT TAKES SOME DOING.

Either Cruz has enough integrity to honor his pledge, or he is precisely the selfish liar that many believe he is.

He's already risking the future of the Republic by playing his cowardly delaying game.

Cruz's honor and integrity further wane with each passing day that he doesn't help unify the party.

Ted Cruz is being a vindictive, bitter snowflake, and he deserves all the criticism he gets for doing so.

Vote Trump!

The primary was a two way brawl. Sadly, Cruz supporters refuse to admit that fact. Cruz gave as good as he got. As a Trump supporter I’m more than willing to forgive his slurs and dirty tricks in the name of party unity.

Cruz is a very divisive force. His primary exit day tantrum intentionally poisoned the well for Trump and he certainly deserves ever bit of criticism he gets for his selfish behavior since then.
