The difference between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump is that Ted Cruz looks out at a crowd and sees himself, while Trump looks into a mirror and sees the crowd. Trump may be crude, inarticulate, and occasionally boorish, but he looks back to an older, better America, the essence of which is its people, its citizens, themselves crude, inarticulate, and occasionally boorish; but who, like Trump, are animated by a vigorous spirit that, once unleashed, will make America great again. Trump is the means; the voters are the end.
Rush was correct conservatism, properly articulated, will win every time. But conservatism is more than a set of bullet points. It is ultimately a form of trust, in people, and that, if left alone, they can manage to get things right. Trump may not have all of the bullet points in line, but the trust is there. Trust is the ultimate gift if a candidate shows that he trusts the people, the people will trust him in return. Cruz finally could not trust, could not give, and so receives nothing back. And so he grasps at the only hand being held out to him, the cold, dead hand of the establishment, that destroys everything it touches.
