Last night it became quite evident where the country stood politically speaking. On the left the masses stand FOR "progress"; which is ,simply just the latest term for socialism and communism. In turn, they stand AGAINST States' sovereignty; which is another way of describing the individual Natural Rights of American Citizens which is acknowledged, assured and protected by the USConstitution.
To the "right", the loudest delegates, who had applauded Ted Cruz's call for the individual rights of the States to write their own laws and to choose their own.paths. The delegates applauded his call for the 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights of ALL American Citizens as well as putting "America first" and to build a Wall at the border. Ted Cruz TWICE honored the nine year old that was the daughter who is one of the victims of the five police officers that were murdered in Dallas.
These things and more were loudly applauded by the delegates - UNTIL it became evident that Cruz was not going to endorse the nomniee - despite the FACT that he opened his speech by cngratulating Trump for winning the nomination and having stood FOR the positions Donald Trump took on the border / immigration, Islamic terrorism, the economy as well as the FAILURES and CORRUPTION in Washington, DC. Once it became evident that Cruz was not going to endorse the nominee, everything that he stood for, including his mentioning the nine year old the second time, was then BOOED! Once again his wife, Heidi, was yelled at w/ total disrespect; and she needed to be escorted for protetion.
At any moment, had Ted Cruz showed Trump's family any level of disrespect?
Which "pledge" was Cruz, or ANY of the candidates for that matter,,was or IS he supposed to honor; the one written on a worthless piece of paper which was for the sole purpose of political expedienncy, to which the likes of Kasich, who governs the very State that hosting the Convention btw,, and Jeb Bush didn't even appear in Cleveland - although NO headlines are spitting at their faces as they are Ted Cruz's. Hav you even noticed that?
The Trump supporters are saying that Cruz should have endorsed Trump - for PERMITING him to speak at the Convention in the first place. If such is the case, WHY did Trump ALLOW Cruz to speak - KNOWING the contents of Cruz's speech prior?
Donald Trump's rise was very much because Washington DOES NOT honor their OATHS of Office - to uphold and the Constitution. THAT is the "pledge" that matters to me.
Time will tell son enough if Trump will honor the PROMISES he made during the past year. If he will also go along w/ the century old status quo and the further epxansion of this authoritarian federal govt. I genuinely hope I'm wrong about Trump. I hope that his liberal past is not preface.

It is said that o win the presidency the candidate must win Ohio, right? During the 2016 Convention Ohio's 66 delegates went w/ John Kasich, right? Then, why weren't they villified for not bowing to Trump?
Also, I can't help but think that Trump's actual motivation to is to pave the road for his son, Donald Jr, who was virtually an unknown prior to his dad's entering the racto have,an easy run himself perhaps in 2020 - as the Donald would be 74 at the end of his first term; which he may find very tedious and frustrating. Again, Jr's run would depend on just how true to his promises his dad would be during his term. Jmho.
