Nobody said Cruz is perfect. He makes mistakes just like you and me.
Even Reagan as President made mistakes.
Two of the biggest one was his agreeing to a tax hike in exchange for spending cuts ( the hike came, the cuts did not ).
The other one is his signing the 1987 amnesty bill in exchange for strict enforcement of immigration laws.
And let’s not forget Reagan when he was governor. He signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act, after only six months as California governor.
If conservatives cut Reagan slack for these mistakes and vote for him, why not Cruz?
