[Interesting that Trump, by pretty large numbers, is considered “least conservative†of the three.]
Trump has by far the most conservative policies. Cruz has had to edit his, numerous times m just to catch up.
Trump took great risks by bringing up controversial issues and taking a very hard line. It could’ve backfired instead of being embraced by the people. He wouldn’t take that risk - along with being attacked by the left, media, and his own party - if he wasn’t following through. Pandering is taking the easy road - the middle. Like the road Cruz tried to take on illegals until he decided to follow Trump’s footsteps after seeing how popular it was.
