I am a conservative - so I support Ted Cruz!
The Donald is pro-choice. He is willing and eager to "deal" with Dems, the GOPe and K Street. But the most disconcerting feature about the Donald is that he is pro-Trump - first, foremost and forever.
I think many FR Trump posters are being deceived by Trump or deceiving themselves. Nothing about his persona is honest or real except his arrogance.
For those reasons, I cannot and will not vote for Trump in either the primary or general election. If there is a conservative 3rd party candidate in the general, I will vote 3rd party. Or write-in Cruz. Or leave the Presidential line blank and vote on the down ballot races.
I'm not thrilled with his amnesty position, but I could at least stomach voting for Rubio who is largely conservative and 100% pro-life. The Donald is not and he can never gain my trust or vote.
I would like anyone here to define me what true conservatism is. Because every election we elect a person perceived and supported by many here with all the credentials just to turn out as not truly pure based on our perceptions. What are more important to us in this election cycle is protecting the country from foreign invaders and freeloaders, including building up a strong military and deregulating all these government policies killing businesses. What is the point of having a constitution if we don’t have a country where people are free and protected? We can all argue until the cows come home who the real conservatives are but without anyone willing to truly fight on our behave then all will be lost. So far the only people I see doing that running for president are Trump and Cruz. Are they both perfect? No so are we. Trump is an open book and we know who he is and I truly believe he loves this country. He will put the country first.
Trump is my choice and Cruz second. So all of you that claim to be true conservatives and refuse to vote for Trump, as Mr. T would say “I pity the fool”
