(Cruz is) arrogant and condescending, a terrible listener and completely uninterested in actually getting anything done that doesn’t further his own interests.

Flattery like that is why I support Cruz as my top choice. He is completely uninterested in actually getting anything done that doesn't shrink government back toward its constitutional size - as delineated in the enumerated powers. He doesn't think that can be done all at once, but he is working to move in that direction. Cruz has also been personally responsible for stopping FedGov from growing even faster than it has under the communist thug from Indonesia/Kenya/Hawaii/Chicago.

Trump is (probably) more electable, but I have never heard him use the phrase "enumerated powers". I am confident that Trump is not going to support some of the shockingly stupid things that Jeb/Rubio/Christie/Kasich wanted, and that's enough to make him my second choice. But is Donald Trump really a small government conservative?

“Flattery like that is why I support Cruz as my top choice.”

That's fine with me. I also like Senator Cruz.

The purpose of the post was not to attack Senator Cruz but to show that the National Review is only supporting him to stop Trump.

I think Senator Cruz is their second to last choice. Trump is their last.

But the NR would much rather be supporting Jeb or Romney rather than Cruz.
