I think Cruz could do so...if elected.
He is committed to these same things, and has worked tirelessly to actually stand up to Obama and the DNC, and the GOPe.
...and if the voice f the people put him into office, he would act on them with a GOP congress that would ride in on his election.
Time will tell.
But that’s part of the problem, IMO. The president, whether it’s Cruz or Trump will have to know how to deal tough not only with the Democrats, but with a GOP which is overpopulated with elitist uniparty RINO types. Assuming Cruz is the conservative warrior many believe him to be, does he have the talent to steamroller Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and the other corrupt Congressional leaders? I just don’t see it.
On top of that, even if Cruz was somehow able to win the Presidency does anyone genuinely see a scenario where he does it by a landslide? He would be lucky to squeak out a victory in the general if he were somehow able to secure the nomination. There would be no mandate with a Cruz victory. If he won, there’s a good chance we would lose at least the Senate to the Democrats. Cruz just doesn’t have ‘the gift’ that Trump has for making deals, and getting what he wants, whether it would be with a Democrat controlled Congress or a RINO controlled Congress.
