5: There are other strong Conservatives in the race for the nomination, for example Senator Cruz and Governor Huckabee. Which Trump position or positions are more Conservative than the Senator or Governor? (Again, please stay away from the demeanor or style of delivery, but rather stick to specific policies.)
I don't believe that Trump is more conservative than Cruz. But, there are people who see an urgent need to destroy Trump. They want to "Dump Trump" so that they can "Push Bush" for President.
As soon as these people get rid of Trump, they will go after Cruz. So, right now, Trump is sort of functioning as a blocker for Cruz. I think Trump is performing magnificently. If he can hang in there long enough, he will be taking a lot of arrows that would otherwise be fired at Cruz. The longer Trump is around, the more Bush's weaknesses are exposed.
Go Trump and Cruz!!
True, but more important to me as a person who isn't committed to Cruz but certainly leaning his way, he's decided to take Reagan's approach: trashing nobody and putting his own agenda forward, and pointing out where another candidate's platform agrees with his rather than being critical.
The question is, can Cruz WIN? Because the truth is, we're hanging on by a thread right now, and Hillary!® will be our last President.
