I don’t “trust what the lying politicians have said all these years.” Cruz has been a bane to most of the politicians in Congress, because he was willing to take principled stands against convention, and he always expected arguments to win the day.
I do have at least a modicum of trust in Cruz, because I am convinced that he is motivated by the principles that he publicly espouses—by his commitment to the Constitution and to conservatism.
With Trump, by contrast, I have literally no idea what principles actually motivate him, other than his desire for self-aggrandizement. I realize that no one gets into politics without some measure of personal ambition, but with Trump we’re dealing with a man whose entire life has been devoted to self-promotion.
There is no way in hell that the son of a Cuban born in Canada is a natural born US citizen under original intent. No freaking way. Cruz throws the constitution under the bus to further his career. His TPA/TPP act shows him to be a phony.
