He wants a VAT...

Okay, what would be your proposal to lower income tax rates and eliminate the payroll tax, without completely bankrupting the country? There may be better ideas to be had, but at least he is making proposals that would accomplish the main goals of conservatives (lower rates, simplify the tax code, tax consumption rather than labor and investment).

...more H1B visas...

I am really tired of having this misrepresented so often. The only time Cruz proposed increasing H1B's was as an amendment to the Gang of 8 Amnesty bill. His intent was to discourage them from granting amnesty to the illegals here by making it easier for skilled workers to be able to immigrate legally. Once the Gang of 8 bill died (for which he was partially responsible), he has not proposed increasing the H1B's since.

In order to be president, he needs to be VEEP first

And I think in order to be President, Trump should have SOME experience in elective office first.

I didn’t know that. I wonder why he didn’t explain that recently. It would be enough for me and many others, most likely. The problem is he hasn’t come out clearly in this, for one with tremendous communication skills.

“And I think in order to be President, Trump should have SOME experience in elective office first.”

Since being elected seems to corrupt so many, I call it a plus. Look at congress and how so many Republicans that ran as conservatives turn around and vote for anything the GOPe wants. That Paul and Cruz were the only 2 filibustering a bill that will increase our debt to $19.5T sickens me.
