Funny, that’s exactly my problem with Cruz. First, his base of true conservatives is too narrow to win in November. Second, as President, his strict adherence to the constitution will earn him the eternal admiration of his core constituency, but it won’t make him an effective agent for change. Articulating conservative principles does not translate into forcing change, because the progressive left does not listen to reason.
Real change is going to require a type of street fighting Republicans are not used to, and do not find attractive. Trump fights, and he doesn’t care what the broomstick up the arse republican hoity toity types think of him. That’s why I think he might as President actually “throw the rascals out”.
