You think Rubio will win in PR? He just told them to go fix their stuff or they can’t go bankrupt. They don’t have any wriggle room left except to change government. That would be like Greece voting for a German Chancellor who advocates austerity. I think he will bomb there personally, in spite of campaigning there, but I could be wrong.

To be a true Constitutional he’d have to understand and follow Article II.

Cruz doesn’t have the pedigree to be POTUS.

A Romney spokesperson said if Trump gets the nomination it will be the first time since Reagan a conservative will be on the ballot.

Like McCain, Romney, Dole, Bush I, Bush II were conservative.

Seems to me that voting for a constitutional conservative in this race is like voting for a third party candidate - it’s a wasted protest vote that will have little effect on the eventual outcome. And I’m as big of a constitutional conservative as anyone here!

I’ve listened to Rush dream of having a constitutional conservative on a presidential ticket for 20 years now. So naturally Cruz was my pick when this whole thing started. But I always worried about his vote-getting ability in the general.

When the Trump phenomenon exploded onto the scene, the reasons for these nagging doubts about Cruz crystallized and I could see that Trump recognized that the country was not yet ready for a costitutional conservative - especially a Christian conservative.

The pendulum in this country has swung so far to the left that even mainstream Republicans are indistinguishable from democrats. If they mention conservative values at all when they’re at the media microphones, it is only to trash them.

Trump gets this. I think he is a conservative, but he knows that stressing that in this race will only lose him votes. That’s why he’s keeping his platform so frustratingly vague and middle-of-the-road.

Once the Trump phenomenon exposes the self-proclaimed “conservative” RINOs for what they really are, and the real conservatives can start removing them from center stage, real conservative values and their benefits can once again register in the American consciousness.

Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen this election cycle. A vote for Trump is a vote for moving the pendulum back towards the right and exposing the current “conservatives” for what they are - traitors to the cheap labor express.

Ted Cruz should keep his powder dry for 2020.
