We are talking about arguably the most conservative person to run for President since Ronald Reagan

You see, that is your problem. State it even more loudly how "conservative" Cruz is. So what? What do I get from arguably the most conservative president since RR? What does the brand mean? What does Cruz stand for? What will he do? Be conservative?

Trump is talking about DOING and you are talking about BEING. Yawn. Wake us up when you have something real to say about something that interests me.

Speaking of doing and being....while Trump is out there BEING his egomaniacal self, telling everyone what they want to hear, getting the crowd riled up for things he only claims he’ll do....Ted Cruz has aldready been DOING things that show what a Conservative is.

And for those who don’t understand what a conservative is, let me spell it out for you:

Small Limited Government
Upholding the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
Upholding the Rule of Law
Getting governoment out of the way, so people can live and be free to pursue their own happiness (i.e. regulations, taxes, restrictions, beaurocracy),
Godly principles and values
Pro-Family
Pro-Choice
Pro-2nd Amendment
Securing our borders and fully enforcing our immigration laws
Defeating ISIS - blowing them off the map
Standing with Israel

Just to name a few.

What I am talking about is sticking with the Consisution.

Defending the constitution.

Being a constitutional conservative.

Trump DOES none of these this, and his history stands in opposition of the constitution. Even last year he was spouting off liberal ideal which continue to eat away at the constitution.

The presidency is not a kingship. It is not a do as I say position. With someone as full of themselves and self centered as Donald Trump is, the chances of him defending the constitution when we get down to brass tacks is small. The chances of him appointing solid constitutional conservatives to the Supreme Court are small.

If you are NOT a conservative, a believer in its authority over this nation, second only to God himself, what the hell are you doing on this site for?

The Consisution is the ONLY thing that matters, in my opinion, based on what Trump has proven in the past, he is dangerous and will do nothing but tear it down further than it already has been.
