I would not blame Ted Cruz for an instant if he declines to publicly support Donald Trump if Trump fails to apologize because every such commitment to support the nominee carries with it an implied condition that the nominee behave within civilized norms.
I will consider your concerns over party loyalty a lot more sympathetically when when Trump and his supporters apologize for insinuating that Raphael Cruz is somehow complicit in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the most recent example of which occurred even on this very thread.

Trump never said such a thing. Your projecting like a Democrat.
Interestingly, at the time that issue was raised Rafael Cruz was a very busy CRUZ CAMPAIGN SURROGATE smearing Trump in private to Evangelical groups. Seems snowflake Cruzers can dish it out but not take it. Isn’t that special.
And will Ted Cruz apologize to the millions of Trump voters he personal insulted by calling them “low info”. Of course not. And you’re just fine with that.
A pledge is a pledge, and your claim that Trump insinuated that Raphael Cruz is somehow complicit in the assassination of John F. Kennedy is, as usual, false.
I don't care if Trump called Cruz's mother a whore!
If Cruz can't overlook all the juvenile insults in the world in order to preserve this Republic by doing everything in his power to see to it that Hillary Clinton isn't elected, then he's no conservative and no Patriot. And showing party unity is critical to that process.
Donald Trump has repeatedly complimented Ted Cruz since the Indiana Primary, and Cruz has shown no grace whatsoever in return.
This election is too important for the type of immature pettiness that Ted Cruz is displaying. He lost. It's time to face that fact and start working towards beating Hillary. Refusing to unify is placing that goal in ever greater jeopardy. You can gripe about Trump's pettiness all you want, but he has won the nomination, and that's that.
As usual, Ted Cruz is once again ceding the moral high ground to Trump. AND THAT TAKES SOME DOING.
Either Cruz has enough integrity to honor his pledge, or he is precisely the selfish liar that many believe he is.
He's already risking the future of the Republic by playing his cowardly delaying game.
Cruz's honor and integrity further wane with each passing day that he doesn't help unify the party.
Ted Cruz is being a vindictive, bitter snowflake, and he deserves all the criticism he gets for doing so.
Vote Trump!

Cruz gave his word, and it was not contingent on Trump’s behavior.
Party loyalty and unification has nothing to do with this...Cruz should honor his word and pledge for the good of the country!!

Your excuses for Ted not honoring his pledge to unite would be pathetic no matter what, but claiming the high ground for Cruz after he:
1. Lied about Ben Carson in Iowa.
2. Blamed Trump for the violence of the very violent agitators in Chicago.
3. Then he took money from and allied with the very people he claimed to be against all these years in order to win.
4. He makes a pact with Kasich to do a last minute desperation bid to prevent Trump from getting the amount of votes on the first ballot, then denies he ever made the pact.
And you wonder why the man is disliked?
If he doesn't come to his senses soon, he will have destroyed his own career and won't be able to be elected dog catcher. If he doesn't try his best to undo his own damage to the party and unify to beat the Hildabeast, he will be the most hated conservative office holder EVER. By conservatives. And deservedly so.
Figured that one was coming.
