You may be correct, which would only mean that there aren’t enough conservatives left in the country anyway to save it.
Right.
Let me ask you a question (I like a lot of what you post): Suppose post war "conservatism"is dead. Killed by the Bushes, Karl Rove, the neocons, the "Christians", etc.
Are you prepared to go into coalition with patriotic Democrats who want to Make America Great Again, but who also want a bigger state with higher taxes, or do you prefer to watch it burn?
That's what the Cruz-Trump FR disagreement is all about. I agree it's being poorly carried on by many, but it really IS about fundamentals.
The Trump premise is that there are enough Americans left to save the country. Your stated premise is that, if there is not a conservative majority, the country isn't worth saving, so why not vote for Cruz?
