Real conservatives don’t vote for someone who somebody thinks “is the only one who can win”.
We vote for the one who is the most consistently conservative and has a past record to prove it.
We have only had a couple of potential candidates who fit this in the recent past and instead of supporting them so-called conservatives say they can’t win and throw them overboard.
From the amount of financial support Cruz has received, mainly from smaller donors I’d say there are plenty of people that think he can win and are willing to tap into their very tight budgets to give him some cash to do so. I’m sick of hearing that old and tired “I like
cruz BUT he can’t win” baloney. No, not with that attitude he won’t.
It then gets repeated and repeated on sites like this by those who are parrots and ends up making it reality which I suspect is the reason behind it in the first place.
The same thing was done to Palin.
Thank you for telling us how conservatives should vote.
I’ll do the same then - conservatives shouldn’t vote for someone weak on amnesty. Whether they call letting illegals stay amnesty or not - NOBODY is for amnesty when asked, even McCain. But letting them stay equals amnesty.
Cruz refuses to say, which worries me a lot. If he had a conservative position he would say so.
See my post #69 for details. I don’t like to repeat the same thing on the same thread - it’s annoying for others to read.

I've been told here that Cruz's problem is he's too conservative. I've also been told that the only principle that matters is winning.
Anyone who wants to can throw themselves off that cliff---again---but I'll be damned if I'm going along with them. I'm sticking with Cruz.
Some of us never learn, despite the numerous past examples available to us, that the only way to win is to nominate a solid conservative.
