Trump isn’t a reform candidate.

The GOPe doesn’t control Cruz,

And Cruz will win this with support of other conservatives.

The GOPe doesn’t control Cruz

I know you believe this, as do all Cruz supporters. But it takes a great deal of sleight-of-hand to disregard all the Establishment folks on his team (at least using him), as well as his own support for McConnell and TPP.

We are all going to lose this one.

Cruz is a Washington insider, who has bamboozled people into thinking that he is a regular citizen who came to Washington to challenge the power structure. In reality, he is nothing but a slick lawyer who has no real world experience, who went from arguing a handful of cases in court directly into the political world.

Given his underhanded tactics in trying to steal the election from Trump, I don't think he has conservative credentials at all. A principled conservative would not resort to such tactics. His "conservatism" is a shallow veneer that he uses to dupe people into believing that he's the real thing.

I don't think Cruz stands a chance in the general, but even if he did make it, he would be nothing more than Obama, term 3.
