I like Cruz but, he is running for the office of “Stop Trump” now.
He should have run for president instead.
That does make sense. He’s hoping at this point to be “the one less bad than Trump.”
Wanting to go back to old fashioned views of the Constitution, when his birth circumstances would have eliminated him from consideration at the time the Constitution was written, is an oxymoron. Trump has more room to do that, even in the guise of populism, if for example he is sincere in saying he would want more Thomases on the USSC. And a stable court that is not minded to try to upset applecarts for their own sake, is one that businesses like as well. Because businesses need to plan. In our modern climate of Calvinball, they can scarcely plan to the next quarter.
