Cruz knows how to make real, LASTING change in my opinion. I don't see that in any of the other candidates.You make an excellent observation here and it touches on something I believe is the most important aspect of the 2016 presidential election.
Cruz can cause lasting, revolutionary change in the current government (American Revolutionary War type of change) by reclaiming our Constitution which will reduce the size and power of the federal government as the original Founders intended and restore Rule of Law.
Obama has set some frightening precedents in extra-Constitutional lawlessness, permitted by an impotent GOP Congress, that must be repudiated completely by the next President.
If the Republic described in the U.S. Constitution is to survive (it's hanging by a thread) only a leader with complete knowledge and commitment to the original blueprints can make that happen. I truly believe 2016 is our last chance.
An autocratic future President driven by ego, while appealing if he shares our views, only serves to reinforce the dangerous precedents set by Obama, thus proceeding further down the current path we're on leading away from the Constitution. If both sides try to make laws by executive order, it will be exploited in truly terrible ways by a Democrat President in the future and the constitutional Republic ceases to exist.
Released from the constraints of the U.S. Constitution and without a moral people it was designed to govern, through misapplication of great wealth and technology to control every part of our lives, the U.S. federal government has the terrible potential over coming decades to become one of the most tyrannical, oppressive regimes the world has ever known.
Excellent post.
