. . . We will not be told that Donald Trump has been all over the gun issue just as we are never told he has been all over the abortion issue, the NATO issue, the tax issue, and virtually every other issue which is dear to conservatives. We will not be told that Donald Trump was financially supporting all the forces arrayed against the Second Amendment while Ted Cruz was in the trenches winning your rights to bear arms. I forgot to add one more adjective: consistent. Ted Cruz is a consistent constitutional conservative

All your facts are correct, as usual. Cruz is not the slime in the unsubstantiated and out of context attacks and innuendo that are being spread by trolls. He is, based on overwhelming evidence, the "consistent constitutional conservative" you describe, and one of the most consistent, articulate, and energetic defenders of the Constitution in politics today.

Trump was a leading financial supporter fifteen years ago of anti-gun legislative efforts and of many other liberal positions. The sincerity of his conversion and the absence of evidence for an ideological understanding of why his new positions are correct are my biggest concerns with Trump. I also have concerns with Cruz (which have nothing to do with his integrity or conservatism, just with the risk that stopping Trump will lead to the establishment nominating someone who supports Amnesty, supports Obamacare, and supports restrictions on our Second Amendment rights - like Kasich).
