If Trump is nominated he won’t be nominated as a conservative (because he isn’t) but out of desperation for someone who can fight. Cruz is the only candidate close to Reagan but he isn’t polling well. It seems many prefer the mouth over the brain
And believe me, I'm understanding and sympathetic to how the Senate and House work---but they haven't worked (the way they were supposed to) since 2006. The Dems ran the house like a house of nobles, the Republicans like a house of cowards. Neither works.
