Cruz is as Melanie states. His weaknesses on trade and immigration, corporatism and NAU are RINO like. Trump does say he will defend Christians. He does see the Islam issue. He loves America and the hurting middle class. He sees the trade issues as destroying the country,where Cruz supports more of them.
Just do not think Cruz as he is above is really a conservative.
His stand on immigration is actually stricter than Donald's because Cruz will deport all the aliens and keep them out but Trump will readmit them according to some unarticulated standard as these illegals tickle his fancy. Trade has been a conservative position for decades. In any event, Cruz is opposed to TPP and will vote against it. It is Trump who presents the real danger to our economy through trade with his ham-handed approach which could start a trade war and cast the country into a depression.
Trump loves America? Trump loves Trump, to believe otherwise is to play the fool for Trump.
To accept that Trump who has been a Democrat, an Independent, and an eleventh hour pre-election Republican convert, who has been wrong because he has been on every side of every issue, who has financed Democrats and rinos who have fought against your position on immigration and trade is, again, to play the fool for Donald Trump. To deny that Ted Cruz is a conservative and has been a consistent conservative all his adult life even extending into his adolescence is preposterous.
One can redefine conservatism and wrap it around Donald Trump but it just ain't so and it won't fit.
Cruz is not a conservative
Ted Cruz is not a constitutional-conservative. Were Cruz really a constitutional-conservativehe would not be running for president. There is no way in he[[ that the son of a Cuban born in Canada is a natural born citizen of the United States under original intent.
There is no way a constitutional-conservative would have voted for the Corker amendment.
There is no way a constitutional-conservative would have voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act.
There is no way a constitutional-conservative would have voted for the TPP enabling TPA.
Ted Cruz is also a liar, conservatives used to not like lairs.
