It seems to me the only principled reason to be a Republican would be to stop, thwart and defeat Leftist ideas you’re opposed to. Therefore, what better standard by which to judge Republican presidential candidates than by who is the most committed to actually defeating the opposition?
And who might that candidate be in 2016? Well, according to the man from whom much of today’s conservative multimedia empire originates, that candidate is Ted Cruz.
“If you’re looking for the Republican candidate who is the most steadfastly opposed to liberalism, whose agenda is oriented towards stopping it, thwarting it, and defeating it – it’s Ted Cruz,” Mr. Limbaugh recently said on his popular radio program.
Let the record show that as usual, Rush is right.
In fact, I challenge anybody reading this to make an objective case there is a more principled candidate in the race than Mr. Cruz — because you can’t. I also work for an organization called Conservative Review, which gives regularly scheduled proctology exams to the records of politicians by charting how they vote on a full spectrum of conservative issues via our “liberty scorecard.” Mr. Cruz currently has our second-highest score at 96 percent, which is second only to Mike Lee.
Except Mr. Cruz does not just settle for voting the right way when it’s all said and done, but he fights back on our behalf against the corruption infesting Washington as well as the “losership” of the Republican Party.
...
Here is the bottom line: If someone doesn’t have a proven history of fighting the corruption in Washington before getting elected, that probably means they’re unlikely to do it after they reach the White House.

anybody who picks Hamilton over Jackson is not a conservative...and he is not eligible....
but I agree he is not most conservative
I’d agree 100% with that statement.
No. His majesty Trump is the most principled candidate. He is the only one who can win. He has 25% 0f the Republican vote according to RCP. How can anyone withstand his majestic presence.
the establishment in Washington will do whatever is necessary to keep Cruz out of the White House.
Huh?
Here we go!

That is old and totally inaccurate. Not that it would matter to a true believer.
Are you hanging your hat on that stupid picture/bill question in making your determination?
Just asking.

Of course, we can believe what Ted Cruz says, from what he has done.
U.S. Sovereignty
Is this a Trump thread?
That must be one of the most intelligent responses to any post I've ever had. Are you an MIT or Harvard grad?
Ted Cruz looks too darned much like Bill Murray.
Despite that, I could vote for him. Or for Trump. Any candidate with the backbone to stand up to liberal/Democrat bullies, in fact, would have my vote.
I’ve been disappointed too many times by Republicans who say big things while campaigning, but then get to Washington and roll over with their tails between their legs.
Sorry. I just assumed Trump had already been invoked. My keyboard must be a bit fast today or maybe the Trumpeters are starting to show signs of brain damage.
