Nick, what is your explanation for Cruz going AWOL in the Senate on this issue?
You can sit there and try to redirect it to Trump all night if you like, but Cruz actually serves in a body that can do something about the SCOTUS ruling.
Trump doesn’t.
My explanation is that Cruz is a Senator and they all abandon conservatism eventually. That's why despite some positive things, I have never endorsed him and am still undecided.
Having said that, at least Cruz has a track record of supporting conservatism. Trump has zero. Also, Cruz never used a platform to promote gay marriage among the public. The reason Congress won't do anything is feelings of the public. And Trump used his money and power to promote gay marriage. So, as much as I criticize Cruz, Trump is way worse.
