Trump is the bigger man, that is why he was allowed back on stage. But I think
they knew what he would do, so they provided him with the rope to hang himself.
*************
Apparently Trump knew exactly what Cruz was going to do and allowed him to do it.

Cruz told Trump in a phone conversation two days ago that he would not endorse
him during his speech, according to Cruz aide Jason Johnson.
Still, Trumps campaign invited Cruz to speak in a headliner role, no less......
In a late night tweet, Trump said he had seen Cruzs speech two hours before he
took the stage but let him speak anyway. No big deal! Trump wrote

‘According to his aid Jason Johnson’
And I’m suppose to believe the word of Lyin Ted’s aid?
I honestly think Trump knew even before he ever extended the offer to speak as a headline speaker, that Cruz would be divisive somehow in his speech.
I think he calculated what the result would be.
If Cruz went negative. That it would have a positive effect for him and a negative effect for Cruz.
If Cruz had endorsed him it would have been a positive effect for both.
Either way, Trump wins.
Because Trump knew at this point those were the only real options. Nothing Cruz could have said, short of a major scandal that he could prove is true, would make one bit of difference.
