i don't get this. cruz barely adlibbed. as far as i have heard, his speech pretty much went off as submitted. did everyone just fail to understand how the audience would take it?

Can someone explain to me why the Trump people allowed Cruz to talk tonight? They knew Cruz wasn’t going to endorse Trump. They — and we — had Cruz’s prepared remarks. Did Trump’s people think that Cruz was going to have a change of heart? I’m not sure why the Trump campaign would bank on that. There are Cruz’s ideological disagreements with Trump, but it’s also worth remembering that Trump intimated that Cruz’s father was involved in the John F. Kennedy assassination and attacked Cruz’s wife.

So, why give Cruz a prime-time speaking slot?

No, everyone understood beforehand that "vote your conscience" means "I AM NOT ENDORSING TRUMP! SUCK IT!" No one thought he would say something like that.

Someone on MSNBC said the RNC expected Cruz to say something to the effect of how Trump should be elected. I also read that the RNC told Cruz that they would trash him afterward in the media if he did not endorse Trump in his speech.

he submitted prepared remarks that did not endorse trump. it was known that he would not endorse him.

So that means they can't threaten him?

"vote your conscience" was in cruz's prepared remarks, vetted by whoever vets these things.

Okay, not everyone. They definitely should have consulted any of the delegates, anyone on cable news, or KK.

What are you talking about? He came to Trump's convention, was given a prime time slot and stared down his family and told everyone to go out there and vote their conscience. It was a suicide bombing.

if he wanted to burn it down, he'd have sprayed gasoline all over the floor and set it off with a flamethrower. he lit a match and let it burn out hidden behind his back.

There is literally no one else of note that holds that view. Not even Newt Gingrich who ad-libbed a tourniquet on Trump's legs that had been chopped off at the knees.
