Luckily we have Cruz who has been pushing for bold colors, even referencing that exact quote, ever since he did the filibuster against Barrycare. Cruz has been fighting our fight in the heart of the D.C. cesspool for years. No one could have the positive impact on this country’s policies that he could as president. He knows how to criticize the establishment while maintaining a sense of polished respectability, which will together make him highly electable.
If Trump and Cruz could forge a really good working relationship—and if Trump isn’t a Clinton setup—they could be a great pairing as President and Veep.
But some of Trump’s ideas, such as on which party is better for the economy, the merits of protectionism, and the merits of single-payer healthcare, are really scary. Without a solid conservative like Cruz to help provide that policy compass, I’m not so sure what a Trump presidency would end up doing.
