Cruz is no longer a candidate as long as his campaign remains suspended but the historical record should be truthful. The idea that Cruz was not specific in his programs is utter rubbish. He was quite clear about his tax proposals, his healthcare proposals, his regulatory reforms etc., far more clear and specific than Trump has deigned to be.

For those who are distressed about the truth when they are confronted by it, insisting that objective analysis be suspended on behalf of their candidate, it is worth noting that conservatives should be loyal to principles and not personalities. As stated during the campaign I am willing to hold my nose with one hand, pull the lever for Trump with the other hand while falling on both knees beseeching Almighty God to forgive sunshine conservatives for forcing this choice upon us but I am not willing to distort reality or permit a historical record to be distorted.

Overly dramatic much?

I see you did not address the fact that Ted Cruz has been "all talk, no action". He tried to take the Obama route to the presidency. He got elected senator of Texas and then proceeded to run for president. The American public are fed up with office holders who get themselves elected on empty promises and then proceed to use their elected position as a pedestal to run for higher office.

Many of us are tired of career politicians with their law degrees, their inside baseball and their slogans.

With Donald Trump, we have a proven businessman with a long list of accomplishments. Sure, he sometimes goes overboard with self-promotion but he does back the swagger up. What is best about Trump is that he surrounds himself with successful people and he chooses them based on merit and not on patronage.

Finally, if you think that attaching a solemn portrait of that 19th Century Confederate general to every post you make here gives you "gravitas" - it's not working.

“For those who are distressed about the truth when they are confronted by it, insisting that objective analysis be suspended on behalf of their candidate, it is worth noting that conservatives should be loyal to principles and not personalities.”

In light of the above, I wonder how you reconcile your undying support for a personality in the guise of Ted Cruz, with his parliamentary maneuvers to push through TPA, which was a prerequisite to passing ObamaTrade?

Please explain to us how Ted’s actions on that matter were the principled, conservative route, given that those actions ultimately resulted in handing Obama a level of power that gives him the means to truly achieve his “fundamental transformation of America.”?

Amen

"...it is worth noting that conservatives should be loyal to principles and not personalities."

First among those principles is to defend the Constitution. Support of a Constitutionally ineligible candidate is hardly a Conservative principle.
