Cruz is a conservative. Trump is a liberal/moderate

Lessee now, Trump's immigration policy is eminently conservative.

Same for Trump's tax policy.

Same for Trump's education policy and opposition to Common Core.

Ditto healthcare, where Trump supports repealing 0bamacare and replacing it with something free market based.

And, unlike Cruz, Trump doesn't support TPA, and doesn't think such sweeping power should be given to any President, let alone Barack 0bama.

The fact is, one of the main reasons that Donald Trump jumped out in front of Ted Cruz for this election cycle was by reason of Trump's eschewing political correctness and showing leadership in bringing such conservative issues to the forefront.

Ted Cruz has had several opportunities to show leadership, but each and every time, he instead shows that he is nothing but an unprincipled, naked opportunist.

For God's sake, Ted Cruz, parroting his GOPe benefactors, disingenuously tried to play the race card against Donald Trump, knowing that the Establishment smear was patently false. Nothing could ever be more lowdown and sleazy than that...

Trump’s immigration policy is populist, it is neither liberal nor conservative. Trump’s tax policy is slightly conservative, but also contains liberal planks like his opposition to corporate inversions. His healthcare policy is a bit vague, currently it trends conservative, but he has expressed admiration for centrally-planned ideas in the past, thus I do not trust him on that issue. His trade policy is unabashedly progressive and protectionist. He remains another moderate-to-liberal Republican in his past history and stated positions, and I do not trust him to govern as anything but, therefore he will not get my vote. I’ve been asked to vote for the lesser of two evils too many times.
