Ted Cruz is conservative. There are areas where conservative and libertarian overlap. Many libertarians have voted Republican for who they thought was conservative in order to have a voice between conservative and liberal.
Note I did not say Ted Cruz is perfect.
I said he is conservative.
He tries to be in the Ronald Reagan mold
Reagan wasn’t perfect, either.
The Reagan coalition included libertarians.
When Ron says Ted is no libertarian, that is meaningless gibberish.
Nobody that I know of claims he is a libertarian.
He is a conservative.
Marco Rubio is a wild-eyed interventionist, more like Lindsey Graham and McCain, which is nuts, and is neither conservative nor libertarian.
Who knows what Trump is...
Well, by golly - let’s all get a huge dose of Ted’s conservatism, so we can lie, commit voter intimidation and fraud. Yes sir, those are conservative principles we all want to emulate. You do realize that the word conservative has lost all meaning, don’t you?
Trump is a populist. Cruz a globalist not a conservative.
Trump doesn’t even know.
