To get the pure conservative we give up a bit in the area of electability, in my opinion.

Cruz is a decent conservative, but I think he's got some problems. He's actually weak on immigration, really changing recently (his supporters won't admit that). His TPP and Corker bill charade was the farthest thing from conservatism. His unwillingness to confront the Clinton sex sleaze also shown a lack of principle.

My preferences still are with Trump, because of his main issues (immigration, economy, military, ending muzzie invasion), his executive experience and strength, and his ability to beat the media.

I like Cruz second, just not sure he's got the strength, and I'd have to drink a quart of whiskey to vote for Rubio (okay, okay, I needed two last time......).

I actually am concerned with the Canadian thing with Cruz, and I think it will hurt him in some crucial area in the general election.

He is not a natural in Florida, unless he chooses Rubio as a VP, so Florida or Ohio could be his downfall with a few thousand conservative constitutionalists refusing to support him.

Trump got terribly off message in Iowa. I’ve been thinking that for days. I want him to talk about borders, walls, jobs, security. Period.

I’m okay with Rubio, because I think he’s GW Bush. I voted for Bush twice, even though he tried to screw us on amnesty, got caught and pulled back, and did so-so on Scotus picks.

He’s not my first pick. I think Trump and Rubio are more electable than Cruz. The Christian Conservative won’t stay home over Rubio. He’s pro-life, he has a good testimony, and he’s against homosexual marriage. No one was more outspoken, really.
