TPA and TPP suggest to me that Cruz is fairly tainted by free trade and low sincerity on immigration. Session’s turning from Cruz says the same thing. After his campaign started I heard Cruz extol H1B and support illegals being decided after the border is secure. His lack of transparency about his Canadian citizenship is also troubling.

I don’t see him as some kind of pure alternative.

Cruz is NOT the exemplar of "pure conservatism" that some here claim he is. As a matter of fact, he's not really all THAT conservative at all. Nor is he "brilliant" as some claim; he's just very good at memorization and the spewing it all back like a parrot.

Actually, he's pretty much an "empty suit", who will lie and cheat about anything and everything. He also isn't likable at all and you need to appear to be "likable" to get ahead in politics.
