Ethics of Representative
The other night I saw two delegates from Florida interviewed. Both were elected to vote for Trump at the convention. The two were Cruz supporters and freely admitted on national television they ran as Trump delegates only so they could switch their vote to Cruz on the second ballot if there was one. I gather is part of the Cruz “ground team” procedure. The rules allow this. The two were asked if they thought they were doing anything unethical by being elected to vote for Trump with an agenda to vote for Cruz. Both answered it was not unethical. What is the opinion in the Gulch?

Back up one and two steps. Who made the rules and who gave them the right to make the rules. Just like the rules for all of politics it's a sum total of party members who vote the party leadership into office and provides the legal and ethical cover.
If the people making the rule did so in violation of party rules or policies they could be blamed.
Same applies to the rules governing the Democrat or socialist side of the equation and others such as five percent rule, winner take all rule.
Or what gave the Republican leadership the right to become members of the Socialist Coalition?
One answer is the abdication of responsibility of the party members.
