I will vote for Ted Cruz, the only proven conservative in the race. Who while not perfect (the only person on the planet that I agree with 100% of the time is myself!), has at least walked the walk to the detriment of his political career, who understands and is beholden to the Constitution and does not have every character trait that has always been anathema to Conservatives.
Mark my words...this country will rue the day we elect Donald Trump.
“does not have every character trait that has always been anathema to Conservatives.”
No, not every one, but the trait he does have is fatal: he is weak. I would not choose to go into combat with him.
“who understands and is beholden to the Constitution “
I like Ted Cruz. But I take exception to him (and every other Senator running for President) when it comes to understanding their Constitutional duty. Ted voted to give the president “pre-approval” of the Iran deal and now pretends that it wasn’t his fault for the bastardized world-threatening deal that Obama came up with - that had Cruz actually UNDERSTOOD his Constitutional duties as a Senator, he would have never voted for - because the Treaty Ratification power rests with the Senate.
I don’t like that he voted for that, but I still like the guy on balance. However, he’s polling at a mere fraction of the leaders.
“Mark my words...this country will rue the day we elect Donald Trump.”
I don’t think there is a president in modern history in which we haven’t rued the day they were elected.
Let’s talk about George W. Bush and the Dept. of Homeland Security as an example of what a supposed “conservative” can do to destroy liberty, as a for instance.
I don’t think Trump should be held to a higher or lower standard than any other politician. I do think he means it when he says he’ll build a wall and deport illegal immigrants.
I could be wrong, but conservatives have been fooled by “conservatives” in politics for decades - it’s like a game to them.
