I agree with you about Cruz. He is the only candidate I see who will be conservative enough to carry forward the points I feel are important.
Many claim he is too conservative.
Is he Barry Goldwater or Ronald Reagan? Those two were not that far apart. I believe it was the times which cast the outcome.
If Cruz is put up against Elizabeth Warren (likely possibility) then it will be like Nixon wamping far left liberal George McGovern in 1972.
In 1964 Goldwater faced a very strong incumbent riding coat tails of a slain President.
Cruz is worth the gamble.
We'd have one hell of a lot of people ! with motivation dripping from our eyeballs.
Of course Warren is not an extremist, that title only goes to Conservatives. She makes Stalin blush and as always is worth tens of millions by scamming the system.
