Very nicely played. Cruz is no dummy, as we all know.

"I don't intend to send jackboots to knock on your door and every door in America," Cruz said. "That's not how we enforce the law in any crime."

The jackboots kick down doors of people who have committed no bigger crime than buying hydroponic gardening supplies.

“Ted Kennedy, Mike Mansfield and Robert Byrd. He said all three of the former senators would have rejected President Barack Obama’s approach to separation-of-powers issues.”

Ted Kennedy was #1 Obama supporter ans pushed for Obama.

Yeah, he was a real principaled POS. Heap of praise? nope.

This statement is, perhaps, the most important declaration any candidate can make. One more President who, for whatever reason, believes he can, or must, enact laws, in violation of the Constitution's structuring of the government, will likely destroy liberty for future generations.

The Constitution was, and is, intended to be "the People's" chains for binding individuals in government and keeping "the People" free.

The founding principles of "limited government" power, strict "division and separation of powers, with checks and balances," and "fidelity to the Constitution and its limits and bounds on the exercise of power" in all circumstances--these should be the measures by which citizens should choose the next President.

Following the attempts at eroding the Constitution's limits on power by this President, Republicans should choose a candidate who will vow that he/she will not choose to attempt to enact conservative values, using the same un-Constitutional tactics as this President. The Constitution's limits must be respected, no matter how frustrating is the process.

If Cruz really implements Constitutional government, the President will have practically no power at all.

“It’s a rare appeal to pragmatism from a candidate who typically stokes the conservative id.”

This guy evidently doesn’t understand conservatives at all.

It’s a healthy statement. Obama and Trump both promised things that they could not deliver. Some of what they could not or he (Trump in this case) cannot deliver was outside of Presidential authority. Other things are not remotely popular ideas (Obama closing Guantanamo, for instance). Trump saying he’ll be getting rid of gun-free zones at schools (not within a president’s power and likely popular where they were put in place)). It’s going to take some time to roll back Obama’s follies. Cruz isn’t saying it can be done overnight, the way Obama promised the Oceans would go up or down to his command when he was president. In the long run, we have to roll back liberal indoctrination as well. This takes a real conservative to preach to. Clearly, one man knows the topic better than the rivals.
