Their love wouldn’t last.
Cruz not only refused to tag Trump, he put the RNC in a half-nelson, telling people to vote with their conscience this November.
To those listening, please don't stay home in November. If you love our country, stand and speak and vote your conscience #RNCinCLE

A slap in the face to Donald, who obviously has no conscience at all.
If you take "vote your conscience" as an insult to your candidate, perhaps take a moment to think why that is.

Fans turned on Cruz. There was so much hate in the room that his final words were drowned out by a chorus of boos and insults
Wow, Ted Cruz got booed off the stage, didn't honor the pledge! I saw his speech two hours early but let him speak anyway. No big deal!

Cruz is no stranger to being the most hated man in the room. However, if these kinds of people don’t like you, you’re probably doing something right.

Just a little salute they teach you in youth camp.
The way he has been treated by his own party, Ted was bound to reach a breaking point.

All Cruz needed to was a chance to stand-up for himself. That chance came last night.

Like any good guy, Ted Cruz needs a catchphrase. But I think he’s already found his. See.

Are there any words that more unnerve a Trump supporter than "vote your conscience"? What does that say about the GOP nominee?
