And this is the key thing for me...Cruz is a Constitutional Conservative. Even if I believed Trump and his goals for our country, is there anything about him that communicates small government conservative?

Is there any reason to believe he'd not simply continue the trend of increasing power to the Executive? That he'd not use the same line Obama does, that we can't wait for Congress to pass laws so he has to do it himself?

I honestly believe that, should this happen, our Republic is truly lost because we would have forever baked in a super charged Executive that writes laws and issues edicts and the chances of pulling back on that once the GOP electorate embraces it are nil.

This!^^^^ A “super charged executive”(i.e., King George) is why the US exists in the first place. Go Cruz! Roll back big federal power!

Very well said. I share your view that the 2016 election is the fork in the road for our Republic. We have examined both candidates carefully and have come to the same conclusion.
