For Cruz to be the best he’d have to change his position on legal immigration, on which he is quite liberal. He is on record as supporting a 500% increase in H1B visas, and for doubling legal immigration in general. That is pretty much the same as wanting to increase the annual inflow of natural and future democrats.
Demographics is destiny.
Cruz, with his faults, is still more conservative than any other candidate. Certainly more so than lifelong liberal Donald Trump.
That’s a good point, but anti-Cruz people don’t know that, nor do pro-Cruz people.
