If Cruz pledged to endorse, than he should have.

I hear what you're saying, but can we really say that Cruz and Trump are like minded?

Nonsense, Cruz came out and urged people to vote their conscience and for people who would defend their freedoms- and the party leaders and trump camp got him booed for it. Heaven forbid people break away from this GOP failure cult and actually vote for what they believe in and not the least awful of their choices they're presented! Don't you think that if the party is booing him for a call to vote your conscience they're somewhat admitting that a vote for them could violate a persons conscience? The GOP is done and they're just broadcasting it louder every day.

I'll say this about voting one's conscience:

As one prepares to do so, realize that there are just 2 viable candidates who legitimately have a chance of winning this election, Hillary or Trump. There is no 3rd party candidate with any chance of winning. Period.

Now, recognize that whoever wins the general election and becmes our next POTUS will be choosing at least one, likely two, and possibly even 3 Supreme Court Justices. We know this would not go well for America if Hillary gets into office. We can assume it will be better if it's Trump.

Now, what does your conscience say about the choice in front of you? Sometimes one needs to consider all the ramifications of choices.

Just one more reason the R's are done as a political party

It's not an issue of what he said, although he did sign the pledge, it's an issue of WHERE he said it. The convention's main goal is unity and he attempted to sabotage that. I do see the chance it could actually help Trump by making Cruz look like a petty loser, a lot of his supporters are not happy with him.

Let us know how your conscience likes President Hillary Clinton.

This. The reality of the way that our political system works is that you have a choice of one of two candidates. All this moral objection and conscience crap is going to put Hillary into the white house. Every Bernie supporter I see keeps saying they hate Hillary so much, but when asked if they will vote for her their response is always "100% I will". I don't give a damn if a rock is running for president, I'd vote for that rock a million times over if it means that treasonous Hillary wouldn't be president.
