Cruz is an idiot, as are the Cruzbots....I agree with you that it is Trump's job to unify the party. That's what a leader is supposed to do.
You shouldn't expect many of Trump's supporters to understand this. They hate the Republican establishment more than they want to win the general election.
However, what Cruz did was dumb. It was petty. It hurt the party and himself.
If he wasn't going to endorse Trump, he shouldn't have spoken.
That's funny because what you have is the Reince Preibus convention and Trump has now appointed numerous Bob Dole advisers to his campaign team. You have Paul Ryan falling all over Trump, McConnell up there at the podium speaking to the convention... doesn't look like an anti-establishment show to me at all. Looks like Trump is all over the establishment and they're all over him, and the person they equally despise is Ted Cruz... the anti-establishment CONSERVATIVE.
What Cruz did was show 100% class... He endorsed the party principles, the party platform and the party itself. He was never under any obligation or expectation to endorse Trump. Frankly, had he come out there and slobbered all over Trump with some glowing endorsement... what do you think people would have said about THAT? Do you not think many would have accused him of being absolute sell out and fraud? Oh... now that he lost he's trying to suck up to Trump! You see, Cruz couldn't win here... there is no scenario in which Cruz could've won.
You see, the hierarchy is like this:
Trump owns the GOP'ers...
The GOP'ers own Cruz.....
