Very conservative people vote for Cruz.

Conservative ain't cutting it. We want results. What have conservatives done since 1994?

Liberals vote for Trump.

Liberals support border security, kicking the s--t out of Islamofascists, and negotiating trade deals? If so, why are you objecting?

Cheating

See Rafael in IA, CO, and other states.
Rafael Cruz is ineligible to seek the Presidency and will be destroyed by the Left.

Very good insight. I haven't been able to understand the level of animus that some Trump voters feel the need to direct at Cruz and his supporters. Your observation explains a lot, and it's a fair criticism to level at the 'movement' conservatives: we (and I include myself in this) have been on a long losing streak since Reagan. We've been so hardworking, so earnest, and so....losing. We carried the petitions to pass prop 187, and then watched it go down in flames. We lobbied for HR 4437, and saw that fail as well. I could go on, but I won't, it's too depressing.

So I get it. People are angry, heck, I'm angry, but here's the thing: if conservatism has failed, and the movement has foundered on the rocks, what's next? The alt-right kids are barely distinguishable from the Bernie brownshirts, at least from where I sit. There must be something, because it appears that it's insufficient for Trump to merely win, his conservative opposition must be destroyed. Gonna be interesting.
