Calling BS on David Limbaugh:
“On the issues, Trump appears to have no ideological core.”
Oh yes he does — patriotic courage.
Point 1: Trump promises to waterboard. [Cruz ducks that particular issue.]
Point 2: Trump’s trade policy. [Cruz opposes.]
Point 3: Trump’s muslim ban. [Cruz opposes.]
Point 4: Most definitive of all is Trump’s enthusiasm for a border wall. Cruz agrees, but he failed to be as confrontational with Mexico, thus his enthusiasm was less intense.

Now for some fundamental strengths Trump has:
Point 1: Twenty five percent of federal employees would quit under the Trump presidency.* Trump is notorious as a cost-cutter. Is that statist? It’s a stab at the very heart of Levin’s claim that Trump is a ‘statist’.
Point 2: Leftist rent-a-mobs are statist. Cruz blamed Trump for his anti-statist attitude about these brown shirts.
One reason democrats seem more popular than they really are is because they have followed the Nazi maxim to ‘conquer the streets’. These goons even blockade roads and conquer public rallies.
This is the most dangerous aspect of statist power and might be the worst political error Cruz has ever made.
Point 3: Senator Cruz PUSHED for Chief Justice Roberts. On the flip side, Trump’s judicial considerations are anything but statist. Cruz is actually closer to being a statist regarding judicial nominees, and that is supposed to be his greatest strength!
A that time, Trump was heavily donating to Democrats. Trump is another Ross Perot, running to guarantee another Clinton win.
