A day after accepting the Republican presidential nomination, Donald Trump pivoted back to the GOP primaries on Friday, choosing to re-litigate a pair of monthsold battles with rival Ted Cruz. In what should have been a feel-good victory lap the morning after his thundering acceptance speech, Trump instead defended his decision to retweet an unflattering photo of Cruz's wife, Heidi, and returned to wondering about possible links between Cruz's father and President John F. Kennedy's assassin.
In the end, Donald Trump's four-day coronation was eerily similar to his GOP primary campaign: an unscripted, backhanded slap at political orthodoxy.

Re: "Thunderous boos for Cruz for refusing to endorse Trump" [News, July 21]: With reference to Ted Cruz not endorsing Trump, the main question is this: Is there anything Trump could have said or done after Cruz's promise to endorse that would ethically allow Cruz to withdraw his promise? If Trumps insulting Cruz's family is not enough, what if Trump said something even bombastic for him? Or what if there was a scandal of some sort involving him? At what point do we stop saying the pedantic phrase "A promise is a promise"? Promises are predicated on those involved behaving in a way that is rational and moral to a reasonable person.
