I wasn't playing any word games. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of criticizing Cruz for breaking his pledge as if Trump didn't also break his pledge.Charles L. Cotton wrote:Cruz gave his word, then didn't honor his pledge. Play all the word games you like, but that makes him a liar.

Re: Republican Convention: Cruz supporters planning trouble?
Ditto. Cruz has been fighting for the 2nd Amendment and conservative values for longer than Trump has pretended to be a Republican. Kudos to Cruz for not endorsing a New York liberal con man.ajwakeboarder wrote:but I am incredibly proud of him [Ted Cruz].
That Trump supporters on Twitter are upset that Cruz said "vote your conscience" speaks volumes. They apparently believe voting your conscience and voting for Trump are mutually exclusive.
As for the sacred pledge: Trump already broke his pledge back in March.
Donald Trump has rescinded his pledge to support the Republican nominee for president.
Asked during a CNN town hall whether he stood by the earlier pledge — which he signed in September after meeting with party chairman Reince Priebus — Trump said: "No, I don't."
"We'll see who it is," he told moderator Anderson Cooper.
Trump said he had been treated "unfairly" by the Republican National Committee and the GOP establishment. He said he was unsure whether the Republican establishment was plotting to take the nomination away from him during the convention in Cleveland.
He also said he didn't need Ted Cruz to promise to support him should Trump win the nomination.
"I’m not asking for his support," Trump said.
