You are certainly entitled to your opinion - but "The People" have spoken, and they disagree with your opinion of Cruz.  Granted, "The Pledge" was a juvenile idea by the party establishment, an easy way for them to ward off another Perot disaster.   But Cruz enthusiastically signed it, pledging to "endorse" the nominee - and then wouldn't, preferring to try to rekindle his own cult of personality.  That ship has sailed.   And the irony that the weapon intended to control Trump has become the tool controlling the party establishment shouldn't be overlooked.  Trump isn't perfect, but a look at the shady deals Hillary approved after receiving Clinton Global Initiative contributions should convince anyone that our welfare isn't her priority.
