You say Cruz isn’t different. Relative to the candidates the GOP has endorsed in the last 25 years, he is very different.
How so? He’s actually a conservative. (Name me one true conservative who has been nominated for the Presidency, between the end of Reagan’s tenure to this election cycle).
Be for Trump and against all others all you want, but it doesn’t compute to say that Cruz is no different from the GOPe moderate establishment types. That dog doesn’t hunt.
What has Cruz actually done that's "conservative"?
He says one thing, then does something else ( TPA ), and not only lies about why he voted for it, but gets someone else to also lie about it too. And that is just one instance, there are more.
For many on this site now. Ronald Reagan wouldn't pass their "CONSERVATIVE TEST" today. He was once a BIG Dem, married twice, a union leader, on T.V., made movies, as governor, got abortion legalization passed long before the nation did, wasn't a BIG RELIGIOUS guy, and who knows what else posters would have dug up on him, from early days, to post about.
So lets stop all of this foolishness NOW ! The candidates are running as REPUBLICANS, not as "CONSERVATIVES"; there is NO National Conservative Party, though there is one in N.Y. State.
In the end, Cruz knows how his bread is buttered - by special interests. He WILL act accordingly. Now, that said, I will support Cruz if he is the nominee. I won't support any of the others.
