Word of Honor

The correlation between Sen. Ted Cruz and VP Aaron Burr in their actions, is revealing to their character, The spectacle I witnessed on the third night of the Republican convention, when Sen. Cruz took the podium, was disheartening hearing him disacknowledge the pledge he took to back whomever was chosen in the primary, to run against the opposing party by failing to honor that pledge, but instead used that platform to advance his ambitions. Like Aaron Burr and like Hillary Clinton, he has shown to put those ambitions ahead of the benefit and interests for the country. If a man cannot be taken for his word, he can not be trusted. If a man can't be trusted, how can he oppose a proven liar without the hypocrisy label? My grievance also applies to the others who reneged on their word. A man or woman without honor has nothing!
