Whenever someone is yelling “purist” I know I’m dealing with a person who’s trying to justify support for a liberal.
There is no “perfect” conservative, but Cruz is far and away the best since Reagan, and may even end up being better.
Back liberal Trump if you want, but don’t expect others to go off that cliff with you.
Actually, a lot of conservatives here are “going off that cliff,” so I think we outnumber Cruz’s supporters. Don’t get me wrong, Ted is my second choice, but the media has been demonizing him for a couple of years now, so I think it’s too late for him to win. At least with Trump, he doesn’t care what they say about him and is able to go over the media to get his message to the people.
