Will your conscience still be clear if Trump violates all conservative principles in making “deals” with Congress?
Or will you call him a traitor, despite knowing now that he has a history of supporting liberal causes and politicians?
My conscience will be clear for the reasons I stated. I don’t think Trump is going to “violate all conservative principle” - it’s the Democrat who will do that, which is precicely why I want a Republican that will win in November.
Cruz is a better spokesman for conservative principles, and I have no doubt he would act from those principles as President. The problem is that he comes off way too preachy and there is an ick factor - he has no chance of becoming president unless he gets picked as VP, which has now become very unlikely.
On top of that, I just happen to believe despite past positions and quotes, Trump will defend 2nd amendment, pro life, restore some competition and sanity to the economy and to fiscal policy, build up the defense, restore some sanity to rules of engagement and foriegn policy. He won’t necessarily do these things out of principle, or be as conservative as Cruz, but I don’t care because Cruz can’t win and Trump will be a hell of a lot better than any Democrat. At some point I’d love to have another RR, but ther aren’t any running.
