Who's the true conservative? I don't know. I do know (and I'm one of the first small donations to the Cruz campaign) that Cruz's call for massive increases in H1B Visas is a real bad idea and that he got played very badly on that trade deal, in spite of warnings. Having Cruz in the Senate, alongside Jeff Sessions, and the small handful of conservatives there, is what the nation needs for President Trump to straighten out that mess.
So let's save our money and time and instead spend it on real constitutional conservatives getting to DC, to serve alongside those already there. I'd love to see Senator Cruz replace Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader.
Trump by any definition is not a true conservative, however that may be why he will win in the end. What we are finding out that the down the line conservatives are small in number. It is the cultural conservatives who are probably the largest faction in the country, and they will carry Trump over the finish line. They do not care about small or big government. They just want to feel good about the country, without taking any hair cuts on entitlements. This faction by far is the largest in the country, bar none. It even crosses party lines. You will hear, and believe it, many two time Obama voters voting for Trump. It is Trump’s race to lose, bar none.
