Ted Cruz may a principled candidate.
But exactly what is a “Principled Conservative”?

I believe that the term and the meaning of Conservatism has been diluted, watered down, and for the most part is not what it once was.

Donald Trump may not fit the description of conservative but he is a pragmatic person who understands reality better than any professional politician. Which may explain the rise of the outside non-professional like Trump and the others. People are simply tired of the lies and hypocrisy.

Trump understands it so well that in 2008 he was an enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama, and in 2013 -- only two short years ago -- helped put former DNC chairman and former campaign director for both Bill & Hillary Clinton, Terry McAuliffe, into the Virginia governor's mansion.

That is a reality that I understand. DO YOU?

Based on the U.S. Constitution and God's Law.
