Cruz is not part of the Uniparty and has fought them. DT is the most Statist.

“Cruz was elected to the Senate with little establishment support among a tea party wave in 2012. Since then he has built notoriety for bucking his party’s leaders and fighting for his agenda regardless of consequence. He played a leading role in the government shutdown in 2013 over Obamacare.”

Statism.

“Statism is the belief that the state should either control outright or determine the course of economic and social policy for a nation. Socialism and fascism are variants of statism. Some notable examples of American presidents that were proponents of this philosophy are Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Barack Obama. In this election cycle both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are openly statist.

“On the other hand, Donald Trump has, at times, attempted to present himself as a staunch conservative opposed to statist philosophies; however, there have been numerous occasions when his statist leanings come to the fore. Nonetheless, based on the entirety of his adult life (nearly fifty years) and many recent actions and pronouncements, Donald Trump seems to resemble a closet statist who believes the government should control and determine the course of commerce, finance, manufacturing, agriculture and the media.”
