“At this point the two are mutually exclusive. Either you want the constitutional conservative, or the fabulous, self-serving fascist.”
Clarification - a “constitutional conservative” who cannot win the general.
If Cruz wins the nomination, will you feel vindicated when he goes on to lose the general?
Probably. Because God. haha
Ridiculous.
The only reason Cruz couldn't win the general is if people who claim to be conservatives don't support him.
People who have big-sounding screen names but don't live up to them, for example.
Conservatism works, every time it's tried.
