“So much for the “constitutional conservative” thing then ...”
Huh? Cruz will hold them to Constitutional legislation. It will be great, huge! You should love it.
Maybe that's a good thing that will keep the government from meddling, but if there's a serious crisis that requires some kind of action, we're on our own.
Plus, consider how things going to look to the public after going through the mainstream media filter -- if Cruz doesn't lose a lot of Republican seats getting to the White House, he'll lose them before he leaves.
But I guess you won't be convinced unless and until it actually happens.
