Cruz campaigned with Trump,
I have made this argument on two other threads and seen no response from you. Of course you owe me no response, but one can only conclude that you have none if you defer three times.
Cruz campaigned with Trump early on because Cruz worked to maintain positive relationships with all the candidates. That is how party unity is actually maintained by serious leaders. When Cruz achieved better poll numbers in Iowa Trump made it personal, when Cruz won Iowa Trump made it more personal, and when Cruz continued to compete Trump insulted Cruz's family. Trump's megalomania is what destroyed party unity.
That Cruz campaigned with Trump is not the indictment of inconsistency or cowardice you imply, and if those characteristics are not your meaning then please clarify. On the contrary, it was an example of keeping the campaign professional, and Cruz maintained that attitude until his family was attacked. Those who now criticize Cruz in the name of party unity are blaming the guy who did the most to promote it. They would be far more credible by insisting that their chosen leader learn the lesson Cruz taught in the opening weeks of the campaign, when he did the very thing you continue to question.
