I would vote for Trump, but I think many won’t. Trump should have thought of that before calling a much loved and genuinely conservative candidate a liar, a cheater, a dirty trickster, unlikeable, inelgible, a Washington insider, and the list goes on.

Like I said, I will vote for Trump if I have to because I know the stakes, but the sour taste Trump has left in the mouths of Ted Cruz’s supporters will cause many will stay home should (God forbid) he get the nomination.

I’m with ya! I’m a Cruz supporter first. I question a couple of his votes, but he has a pretty consistent conservative/pro-constitution voting record (97% (A) voting record - second only to Mike Lee - if you pay attention to such things, which I do). For the most part, he has worked feverishly against the uniparty and even worked with the House Freedom Caucus to help organize opposition in the House - something I can’t recall any US Senator ever doing. He is hated by the establishment wings of both parties, which is a plus in my mind, and I have no doubt about the type of men and women he would appoint to cabinet positions and the federal bench. Furthermore, given his record in the Senate, I have no doubt that he will be more than willing to battle to have his appointees confirmed, even if it means using the bully pulpit of the presidency to take the message to the American people.

Regarding Trump, as I have said in other posts, I honestly believe that he is a patriot first, a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist, a nationalist, and that he wants what is best for the country. The only things that bother me about Trump are his relatively recent past positions on some issues, as well as his tendency to broadly generalize his policy positions (the exception being immigration). I don’t want him to negotiate/”deal” with the “leadership” of either party, but take his message directly to the American people and do what he’s said he’ll do.

Bottom Line: I’ll vote for either of them against any candidate from the Democrat Party.
