If I spent the time to answer I’d get blasted. Let’s just say if you have to ask, you really don’t want to know the answer.

None of the items on the list have anything to do with conservatism. These are all items that any liberal could also have the right answers on. Conservatism is believing that the people should control the government not the other way around. Conservatism believes in following the rule of law, and the Constitution is law.

I will not go so far as to say that Mr. Trump is conservative although he may be more conservative than George H or George W. or certainly Mitt Romney. Mr. Cruze by far and away espouses the conservative ideals much more than Trump.

All that being said however, some of Mr. Trumps positions are conservative positions and it is quite possible that Trump may be more successful in getting things done, read get more conservative things done than Mr. Cruz just because Mr. Cruz has burned bridged in Congress. Mr. Trump is an executive, he knows how to get things done. Mr. Cruz is a legislative politician. Knowing how to be an executive takes more than four years as president to learn. That is why governors often make the best presidents.

I don’t know if I would like Mr. Trump as president or not but I think he would have the better chance of getting his plans through congress and in managing the government. It would be great if he would use Mr. Cruz to advise him in an important way, how to conform to constitutional governance.

If Cruz and Kasich don’t drop out after the next round of primaries it’ll prove they are staying in to be spoilers to force a brokered convention .
