Won’t matter, at least not this time...we need someone that will GET THINGS DONE, even if it gets a bit ugly at times.

I don’t think a sufficient majority of GOP primary voters are looking for ‘the perfect conservative’ nominee. So, I doubt it.

No because Cruz is a fake conservative. He's for H1b visas, waffles on amnesty but mostly wants legalization not citizenship, and co-authored this disgusting piece in the WSJ advocating expanded power for Obama in TPA.

Ted Cruz joins the establishment

Read that then tell me how conservative Cruz is.

President Reagan was all for TPA.

Cruz has no executive experience and no record of acomplishments. Being conservative is not enough. Every other person sitting on a public bus is a conservative but that doesn’t mean they should be president.

Cruz can’t even tell the truth about whether or not he supported Roberts, even though before he even got to the senate, Cruz was extolling how Roberts was one of the “best ever” litigators, a true conservative “like the President who nominated him.” Cruz sent emails to his own staff praising him and telling them to “keep an eye on Roberts,” and even went as far as to write a fawning, worshipping op-ed in National Review in order to push Roberts. But Cruz says, “I did not nominate him. I would not have nominated him.”

How can you be a conservative when you’re a liar?

“He’ll make the trains run on time.”

I’d prefer the airlines running on time, but at least it’s a start.

This is Fast Track for Obama, not Reagan, not any other President, Obama.

There’s not a real conservative alive who would advocate for more power for this tyrant. In fact, our Republican conservatives were supposed to stop Obama, not expand his power.

Let’s face it, at this point, Cruz has no principles, conservative or otherwise.

Not when he burned the idea he’s “the only principled conservative” to the ground in IA.

He’s proving beyong all doubt he hasn’t got any exclusive on “principles”.

Ironic the name of his book is “A TIme For Truth”.

Amazing.

He does.... and he says do what he thinks is right.... or he'll tax you at 35%. Sounds like the guy we've had for the past 8 years.
