As a proven Cruz supporter, let me give you a good reason to vote for Trump, if required.
Trump has no political philosophy. He is random. That means he will accomplish conservative ends about half the time, totally on accident.
That’s a huge improvement.
No, it’s not. This is not the time for a “random” president. I’d like somebody who actually didn’t just say the first thing that bubbled through his shallow mind and who really knew something about the economy, world affairs, etc.
Trump is the only genuinely conservative candidate in the only way that truly matters. His isolationist (eg non-liberal interventionist) posture goes back to the last genuinely conservative Republican Presidential candidate - Robert A Taft. Back then the liberal interventionists marginalized Taft to enable empire builder Ike Eisenhower to become President.
