If for no other reason, this should disqualify Rubio outright in the minds of conservatives.

(I know, Cruz has a similar relationship. But it wasn’t as an integral part of his team.)

Is it true that Ted will not be influenced by gay culture warriors give the following excerpt from The New York Times (Feb 3, 2016)?

..Ted Cruz sounded despondent at the possibility that same-sex marriage could become legal when he called into the radio show of Tony Perkins, a vehement opponent of gay rights, in February 2014. “Our heart weeps for the damage to traditional marriage that has been done,” Mr. Cruz said, urging conservatives to pray but also to fight back. “Be as wise as serpents and gentle as doves,” he said, quoting Scripture.

But seven months later, when Mr. Cruz visited the Midtown Manhattan office of a major Republican supporter of same-sex marriage, he sounded almost indifferent: If New York politicians wanted to legalize it, that was their business, he told Paul Singer, the billionaire investor who had bankrolled efforts to strike down laws forbidding same-sex marriage across the country. There was no reason the issue had to drive a wedge between the two men, the Texas senator said, according to a person briefed on the meeting who supports one of Mr. Cruz’s opponents. (Mr. Singer went on to endorse Senator Marco Rubio of Florida a year later.)

Mr. Cruz would hardly be the only person to modulate his most provocative language when speaking to people whose support he is courting. But Mr. Cruz, the winner of the Iowa caucuses, has worked harder than any Republican running for president to portray himself as the true and pure conservative and to impugn his rivals as not faithful enough in their conservatism......

Exactly. This is why true conservatives are backing Trump. There has never been a more clear divide between Republicans and Conservatives. What is a Republican these days anyway? I know what a Liberal believes in, but what does a Republican believe? We simply cannot trust them anymore, and if we do, we will be sorely disappointed. Trump is what he is. I like to think of him as a Viking Death Ship that will destroy the diseased Republican party once and for all.

Democrats mean a fast death for our beloved Country. Sadly, Republicans mean just a slower death.

Trump can make a difference.
