Maybe???
I’m not sure they can be said exactly.
Mr. Trump does not have a record that they can score him on, so the most anyone can do is go off his word, which until recently skewed toward the liberal/progressive side.
My greatest concern with him is the timing of his conversion. It’s very suspect and comes off as disingenuous. People usually do not make major philosophical changes that late in life. Maybe he did, but maybe he didn’t?
If the race was him vs Romney or him vs McCain, I could see the argument for taking a chance he is the real deal.
The race is him against one of the greatest soldiers the conservative movement has had since Ronald Reagan. Why on earth would a conservative risk Trump being the real deal over a proven conservative???

Mr. Trump has been a conservative since at least 2000, 15 years ago, so not a recent conversion unless you are just going on what the media tells you. Mr. Cruz is far right of Reagan in his public persona, what he is in private I don’t know. His political positions seem to change although he gives wonderful excuses for them.
