That's because he knows why he's a conservative and understands the philosophical underpinnings of same that goes back to John Locke. Sadly, Locke is no longer taught in schools. You can't get to Jefferson without passing through Locke and others.
So it’s not new.
The one thing that stuck with me last night was Cruz's statement, "you know how many Americans wanted those jobs". This just after his invoking the sob stories of his father as well as Rubio's father. HELLO ... neither of those men were Americans when they held those jobs!!!
Now that aside, Trump totally missed hitting it out of the ball park last night, rather, once again allowing himself to be drug in the FOX cesspool. He needs to stop engaging in these elementary level playground fights and Reagan up, quit using distasteful words such as liar, little, etc. and invoke the statesman in himself that we saw after the super Tuesday elections. Sorry, but Melania was right on this one & Trump should have set his ego aside and listened to his wife before stepping on the stage last night.
Perhaps you haven't pinged to see responses to your questions.
Now, I am not following you and I am not looking to pick a fight on multiple threads. I am just reading threads I find interesting.
If I continue to see you cut and paste your "simple questions" on multiple threads, it should be evident then that you are a Trump troll. And I will report you as abusing posting privileges.
Debate is great, but I suspect your efforts are part of a group effort to muckrake with the rest of the usual Trump brigade - and ignored by the Admins.
Anyone who still enthusiastically supports Cruz, supports the future destruction of America as the shining city on the hill in favor of a globalist dream of just another element of a union of the Americas, without a nationalist soul.
His immigration policies and his support for awful trade deals are at odds with his stated originalist approach to the Constituion.
Last night, Cruz said to send marriage issue back to states. He, as a Constitutional scholar, knows and said that ,when two states disagree, that we will start all over on the same path that led to the abomination handed down by the Robert’s court on homosexual marriage .
I am beginning to think Cruz just thinks he is so smart he can take any side of any issue so as to gain the power to establish the globalist nightmare the elite want.
We had better realize that nationalism and populism are part of a healthy appreciation of subsidiarity, where the smallest social unit possible is the rightful holder of power. To hand power over to a large global elite is suicide. Cruz is not a true outsider on these issues imh.
Cruz is still a politician, and Trump is not. I would be all for Cruz if Trump was not running.
Our government is secular. Professional politicians are ruling us, and living a good life on our backs like a monarchy. This has to be stopped. Cruz would have been a great president years ago, but it has gotten so bad America needs an outsider to fix the crony corruption in D. C.
Trump is like our four founding fathers, a man with a real job to do a term of service and go back to it after serving our country. The politicians there now are serving themselves.
I want a Trump/Cruz ticket, and Cruz to be president after Trump cleans house and serves a term or two.
The problem with Ted is that he does not have wide spread support. Trump is drawing in people from all corners and that is why Trump will kill Hillary in the primaries.
Trump is a part of that crony corruption not the solution.
Personally, if I were Cruz, I would never agree to part of a Trump ticket.
The more I see his Facebook posts the more I get pissed off.
Pathetic, unethical, typical politician, do anything, say anything to win.
Damn, I keep holding out hope for him and he keep pulling this s—t...

He is standing up, exposing its excesses, yet he is part of the problem??
Gad, you are a distorting, twisting, disparager just like Cruz.
Launching a pathetic, divisive, unethical attack against a man that is trying to serve and help his country.
I held hope that Cruz would join Trump and bring his supporters along with him, insuring victory.
I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that it would be a mistake on Trump's part...Cruz can not be trusted.
His hubris that convinces him he can win the election without the Trump coalition is a folly that can only hurt the nation.
I know, I thought I’d seen about everything in this election cycle. That is-on “Facebook”, a woman told Michael Reagan to “shut-up” on HIS FB page! This was one of the more hard-bitten Trump fans/supporters! Several other ones scolded him, saying that he needed to get aboard the Trump campaign, one got really snotty, when he said his Dad wouldn’t have gone along with Trump, or was not like him at all! Some called him names, it was ugly! Some of them aren’t bad at all, and say they would go for whoever wins the primary, it’s just the really snotty ones I can’t stand!
Yeah, the Church of Trump!
I agree. I think Cruz would be best, especially judicially, but he isn’t perfect. If Trump is the nominee he’ll get my vote.
“In just a few years, he turned an obscure Texas legal post into a national platform for red-meat conservative causes.
EXCELLENT, and I copied and pasted and excerpt so folks can see CONTRAST between Donald and Ted.
Donald was AGAINST our 2nd amendment rigthts before he was for them.
However, Ted FOUGHT for and WON our 2nd amendment rights:
“....then the state’s solicitor general, Ted Cruz.
The brief took a strong stance on the divisive question of whether the Second Amendment establishes an individual right to own guns, or just protects state and local militias.
....he was wading into a case that had no immediate connection to Texas at all. But to see the signature of R. Ted Cruz on the brief would not have surprised the nine Supreme Court justices in the least. ....
And he was right. The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision shot down the Washington, D.C., handgun ban and ruled for the first time in the history of this country that the amendment ensures an individual person’s right to have a gun for self-defense. ....”
CONSERVATIVES better start doing their RESEARCH before it’s too late.
I’ve always enjoyed Jack Cashill’s writing. He writes well and has good content. He has often taken controversial stands. I think Jack calls it as he sees it, without going over the top. So of course I was interested to read this article, and I was not disappointed. I look forward to future articles by Cashill.
Well, it does get pretty nasty when intelligent design and evolution are discussed.
I’ve come to the conclusion that education and indoctrination are always linked to some degree. Students are getting more and more left-wing (mistaken) indoctrination with their education. So increasingly, our educated are leftists. Sad.
People who are educated and conservative are fighting a trend. One hope is that reality smacks the educated leftist in the face and he (she) becomes conservative.
What about the people who are uneducated and unindoctrinated? Who do they support? (Rhetorical question).
