He and the constitution have got my unwavering support.
If Cruz does not get the nod I may vote for Trump. I will not vote for any other GOPe candidate and that includes Carson.
He’s got my vote! Trump’s good too, but given the choice, Cruz is on top for me.
I hope so!

“...and he also appeals to the party elites.”

They must be kidding. The GOPe and the RINOs hate Ted Cruz.
They view him as a threat to the Uniparty gravy train.
No.
No.
Does the GOPe fear Trump more than they loathe Ted?
That is the $64 question.
I sure hope so ... the Trump circus clown and the Faux black conservative will eventually drop in the polls (with any luck)
No.
Assuming Trump collapses and people see through the Ben Carson charade then I think Cruz is the candidate best positioned to pick up the pieces.
It is all tied up with potential voter fraud. In a flatly absolutely fair election, no fraud, no “lost ballots”, no double voting, no ineligibles, no intimidation at the polling place, Herself does not have a chance. We know the fraud is widespread and endemic in many of the “blue” states, but it pays big dividends in small shifts in the count in “swing” states.
The Donald has knocked all this potential for fraud into a cocked hat. In a mysterious way (or maybe not so mysterious), he reaches across ethnic lines and overcomes much voter apathy in the so-called “undecided” column. He may well bring in a lot of folks who have not previously voted, some not for years or ever. And potentially even some unenthusiastic Democrats who feel their party has long since deserted them.
Make no mistake, The Donald is no conservative, nor is he even particularly libertarian. But he is a darned good populist, and he has found a parade to get around in front of. That the parade may also include a lot of folks that are enthusiastic about Ted Cruz, but tepid or downright cold on everybody else, only means that a de facto alliance between The Donald and Ted Cruz already exists, and if not actively embraced, at least not shunned either.
Cruz better get busy slowing down Doc Carson or he’ll lose his appeal as a second banana to the eventual nominee.
If Cruz runs, Hilliary wins in 2016...
Let me tell you what "opportunistic" really is.
1996 - Texas State Republican Convention - Fort Worth, Texas.
The Platform Committee gets a knock at the door. It is a George W. Bush staff member announcing that Bush wants to speak to the committee.
They let him in to speak. He wants changes made to the platform. They listen and then ignore his requests.
Why? Because that is not how it is done. The Platform committee's role is measuring the will of the people and placing that will into the platform.
George W. Bush, as governor, thought he could just circumvent the will of the people and have his own opinions placed into the platform over the will of the people.
THAT my friends, is opportunistic.
THAT IS NOT TED CRUZ

Note: If you don't like the ratings for any reason, please contact Conservative Review's Editor-in-Chief, "The Great One," Mark Levin. But I have to warn you that you may get this response from him: "GET OFF THE PHONE, YOU BIG DOPE!"
Hope he does well but I also like Jindal, Trump and Santorum. I think Trump/Cruz works for me.
