I don’t think Cruz is being used by the establishment (against who Trump?). I think people are just ticked off that two insurgent candidates have risen to the top this time.
I happen to believe Cruz is better for a couple of reasons #1) Cruz is and has always been a conservative Reaganite fighter, and is ~still~ more conservative than Trump on the issues.
#2) I think Cruz has the potential to draw in more voters over time, whether that’s true or not, and you may disagree, I have no idea the actual outcome.
These are just my primary reasons for supporting Cruz over Trump.
Ok, I’m open minded. Where is Cruz more conservative than Trump? Actions?
