Just like how Carson’s campaign was built on being a “nice guy,” which, once damaged, leads to massive loss in his support. Cruz is running on a “consistent,” “true,” conservative platform, which, once damaged, he will fall to pieces.
Just look at your average forum or comment sections, and you will see that, even if a lot of Freepers are still blinding themselves about Cruz’s record, I’m not the only soul who has noticed that Cruz is lying on issues that are the most important to conservatives. Cruz and his Dominionist, grifter father are also becoming more and more well known, and it is pretty much guaranteed that the GOPe is aware of these things.
Cruz will be kookified like Carson, and his fibs on immigration, his double-dealing, and all the other ugly still, will come to light.
It isn’t wise to run as the “only true conservative” in the race when you aren’t really.
Which candidate is more consistently conservative than Cruz?
Is GOPe aware of Ivanka being best friends with Chelsea Clinton, fundraising for Corey Booker, supporting gay marriage and complaining that women don’t get equal pay for equal work?
Ted Cruz has:
—defended the sovereignty of states’ legal system against influence by international courts
— voted against the Gang of 8 bill, fought against Obama’s amnesty programs, and has outlined exactly how he will fix our broken immigration system
— forced a government shutdown to protest increased government spending and the continued funding of Obamacare
— owns and uses firearms. Is endorsed by national law enforcement associations
— is and always has been 100% pro-life.
— believes that a robust, technologically advanced, military is the best defense a country can have. Has voted to protect military funding levels and increase service member salaries.
So here is a man who checks every single box on the Reagan-conservative questionnaire and you think it’s a good idea to question his bonafides?
