The Trump Campaign knew Cruz was not going to endorse Trump, but they expected a speech to rally voters against Hillary. Trump's people didn't see the speech until two hours before Cruz spoke, but Trump allowed him to speak anyway. As Skiprr said in an earlier post, that speaks volumes about Trump.

Chas.
I think both are making calculated moves, taking calculated risks, some for the right reasons (Cruz) and some for the wrong reasons (Trump). I think Trump didn't really have a choice but to let Cruz speak at the RNC. I would have looked very bad on him not to. I think game theory 101 was at play here. I know what my rival will do, ho do I use it to my advantage? At this level, I don't think any of this didn't just happen.

I have to let him speak, and he will not endorse me. How can I make him look bad or make it work to my advantage? In this case, it's personal, so look bad was really the only option he had.

I think Trump orchestrating boos to attempt to make Cruz look bad speaks volumes about Trump.

I think sticking to his principles, the right principles, speaks volumes about Cruz.

If Cruz ""stuck to his principles", then those principles include dishonesty. I don't agree with you that this is a good or "right" principle. I do agree that it speaks volumes about Cruz.

Lyin Ted proved Trump correct. Cruz cannot be trusted. And he is now causing me to do something I have only done once in my life and thought I would never do again. Make a political donation to a Democrat. The first was to the man who is now my brother in law. This one will be to the person running against Cruz for his senate seat.

And to think that I actually supported Cruz in the Republican primary. He is just a lying little weasel. Maybe Hitlery will reward him with some type of appointment once she gets the presidency.

I happened to watch a documentary on the Civil war yesterday, and was surprised to learn that when Lincoln was running for re-election, in the midst of the war, the Republicans tried to replace him on the ballot with someone else since they figured he had little to no chance of winning the general election against Mc Lelllan. Kind of reminded me of what is still going on today.
