The already-divided Party of Trump took another blow tonight.
Senator Ted Cruz only acknowledged Donald Trump to recognize his nomination and ended his remarks by telling a chorus of boo-ers to “vote your conscience,” demonstrating no confidence in the party’s nominee.
The Trump family was stone faced, The Donald was irritated and Heidi Cruz was escorted out for her own safety as the storyline was defined for Night Three.
