That's actually part of the problem--Cruz does NOT have a record. He is a first term senator, talks a big deal, but that's about it. He is as experienced as Obama was, and look what a disaster Obama has been.
“Ted Cruz ran on conservative issues like building a fence on our border when he was elected, he has lived up to his promises in the Senate and he has run a consistently conservative campaign..."
Many, many candidates run conservative campaigns and forget every single conservative ideal they espoused the second they get to DC. Even a lot of Democrats run conservative campaigns. Excuse me for not being impressed.
OTOH, Trump has a LONG record of getting things done. He has already demonstrated many of the skills that are so desperately lacking, but so sorely needed in Washington, DC. Just because the government is huge when compared to any business does not mean that it is immune to the same laws of economics that affect business. But lawyer-politicians, who do not understand economics (or much of anything else outside of lawyerly obfuscation), don't understand that, and have gotten us into this huge mess. We aren't going to get out of this mess by electing yet another lawyer. We need a businessman.
"Cruz’s consistent conservatism mixed with his willingness to fight is why he’s the ONLY CANDIDATE RUNNING who can absolutely be counted on to get rid of Obama’s executive orders, kill Obamacare, defund Planned Parenthood and build a fence on the border."
As I said before, he talks a conservative line, but a lot of politicians do that. Is Obamacare dead? No. Has PP been defunded? No. Is that border fence finished yet? No. Since we've had Republicans in both houses who could have done these things over the last 6 years, I'm guessing that they don't have much will to get them done. Why would I believe that Cruz will suddenly want to do them if he becomes president? He's establishment now.
I used to not have a strong preference either way, Trump or Cruz. That is, I leaned towards Trump because of his proven track record of accomplishment, and I am confident that he will use that experience while president to start fixing the things that lawyer-politicians have wrecked. But I could have supported Cruz. However, Cruz has demonstrated that he is just another establishment type, all talk, no action. That is not very exciting.
My goodness, HOW can you blame Ted Cruz, when he and only a few in Congress cares about conservative and constitutional values. As president he will have the power to do good.
When he was Texas solicitor general he did TONS of good stuff and WON some landmark cases!
“Cruz is no stranger to the nation’s highest court. As the solicitor general of Texas, he found himself arguing some of the most consequential cases of the last decade. On his Senate webpage, he lists six cases that established “landmark national victories”:
U.S. sovereignty against the United Nations and the World Court in Medellin v. Texas;
The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms;
The constitutionality of the Texas Ten Commandments monument;
The constitutionality of the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance;
The constitutionality of the Texas Sexually Violent Predator Civil Commitment law; and
The Texas congressional redistricting plan.
Cruz has filed more than 80 briefs in Supreme Court cases, including one defending Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties. Sens. John Cornyn (R–Texas), Mike Lee (R –Utah) and David Vitter (R–La.), also signed that amicus brief.
