What have elected Republicans in Congress ever done for conservatism? Once you can answer that then you’ll understand why conservatives are not unanimously supporting Cruz.
Oh yeah, possibly fund for their demise and back off the promise to defund all aspects of Planned Parenthood.
What has Trump done for private property rights I wonder?
Oh yeah, claim Eminent Domain and force people to sell property for expansion of his private empire.
What has Trump done socialized medicine I wonder?
Oh yeah, praise the Canadian health care system and then suggest that the big drug companies are the evil doers behind Medicare Part D and make plans to expand the program by having the gov’t pick up more of the tab.
What has Trump done to combat crony capitalism I wonder?
Oh yeah, admit that he has donated to many politicians with the sole intent of garnering favorability for his private empire while being duplicitous and telling his followers that corruption in politics is a yuuuuge problem.
.....What goes around comes around.
Yeah, I am waiting with baited breath to hear Cruz call DT a p**** or worse. Of course manners and common decency are out of style with DT and his supporters.

Plenty.
It was because of Trump that the issues of the border, Islamic terrorists sneaking in through our border, and a ban on Islamic immigration were put into the public eye.
Before Trump, no one dared to say a thing because political correctness. Even Cruz, who is supposedly the conservative golden child, barely said anything, and he had the entire field to himself for weeks on end.
You think that this would be mentioned at ALL without Trump basing his entire campaign on it? If you do, I have some prime oceanfront property in Wyoming for you.
I get my conservatism from the founders of conservative thought, not from Hannity or Levin.
Russell Kirk said “The true conservative is a man of the future rooted in the past”. And, “in whatever they do, endeavor to safeguard the institutions and the wisdom of the past, not slavishly but prudently.”
By creating a great company that has created and preserved over 34,000 jobs and presently employs over 24,500 and generates revenue of $9.5 billion per year. That’s put a lot of food on tables, kids through college, paid a lot of mortgages — in other words, Trumps companies have preserved the American middle class way of life for thousands of Americans. And this isn’t even counting the multiplier effect, by which those dollars have recirculated through local economies - typically as between 5 and 8 times.
I think he meets and exceeds the true standards of conservatism.
How many of Ted Cruz’s speeches on conservatism put a dime in anyone’s pocket?
That’s what happens in elections and why Senators shouldn’t run. Everything is on record and then you have to provide ridiculous explanations like “I supported amnesty to kill citizenship” or “I supported TPA before I was against it” See 2004 election “John Kerry” for what flip flops will do to a candidate.
So nice to see you put today LibbyLu...
What would Cruz do if he got the figurative 3am phone call?
Let him have his day, call it an AMERICA Apprentice Show.
Trump, Cruz, Bush, Rubio and whoever else still in the game, its just another episode of the Apprentice.
But who will be the last, to sit in the Whitehouse?
Who has quit, who will, who will try to bribe the game?
1: Liar.
2: Start judging your preferred candidate by those same standards and see how long he lasts.
3: Private health savings accounts and competition across state lines are socialist now? The enormity of this falsehood is enough to discount everything else in your post as tainted.
4: Oh yeah, unlike every other candidate in the race, who have been the ones TAKING the bribes, and in some cases, demanding the bribes.
Seriously.
If he wants my support.
Ah, Trump pays lip service to conservative positions, plays the populist at rallies, and then he has unimpeachable credibility? Lol.
Cruz won’t even campaign in Nevada outside of hoity toity donor/PAC events with $1,000+ entry fees, probably due to Nevada’s huge military population?
It's a easy way to deflect.
Health Savings accounts are not what I touched on......but that doesn't matter to you, nothing Trump says does but excellent work.
Cruz has never supported or used Eminent Domain for his private empire, so that's an easy on to judge him on.
Yep - crony capitalism is cool only when Trump does it. He admits to you that he did to get political favors from Schumer, Clinton, Pelosi and you lap it up as being a ‘winner.’
Facts - they just don't apply to Trump.
Here is the difference: If Cruz acted like Trump I would not support him. Trump’s supporters will actually support him if he starts shooting randomly on Fifth Avenue. That is fine. The pretense that all Cruz is evil and all Trump is angelic and pure is fine. But please don’t whine because Cruz is actually running ads.
Really, libby? Really?
You who had a crazed meltdown for all to see cursing all of us out, and you who got the demi-zot for it have the audacity to try to lecture us on manners and common decency?
Really?
You going to start claiming microaggressions that excuse your behavior next?
What has Cruz done for the unborn? What has the Republican Party done for the unborn? What have conservatives done for the unborn?
Republicans have sat on their hands while the federal government funds abortions overseas, funds planned parenthood here and forces decent Americans to pay for insurance policies that will be used to pay for abortions and abortafacient drugs. The last I checked Donald Trump wasn't in Congress or the White House as these travesties occurred so shove your pro life self righteous hypocrisy where the sun don't shine.
It’s a treat to read your posts.
You come up with absurdities out of thin air and seeming treat them as fact, making whatever case you want to out of them.
Very entertaining.
Sorry, I’m not playing.
I know the facts, and I know how this will go if I bother to present the facts. You’ve already shown me that everything I say will be met with insults and condescension, both on this thread, past threads, and this current response.
So I’m not going to waste my time.
