Ted Cruz speech

I was very disappointed with Ted Cruz. At one time, I was very positively impressed with him during his campaign. However, he did make a pledge to support the GOP nominee last year. One should not take a pledge lightly. In my opinion, it is a matter of honor. If you make a pledge, then stand by it! Ted Cruz apparently thinks that if something happens between when he makes a pledge and when he is obliged to honor the pledge, then he can walk away from his commitment. That said, I can understand that Ted has strong negative feelings regarding Trump, but he could have found a way to say that he was going to honor his pledge in spite of his feelings. In other words, he could have been straightforward and acknowledged the personal animosity which exists between them and specifically stated that he was still going to honor his pledge. I would have respect for him. Instead, I find that I have doubts that I would ever believe Ted in the future if he makes any commitments. I certainly have reservations about the idea of ever voting for him for any kind of office in the future.
