Well, you are wrong and here is why.
Ted Cruz is TEA Party pedigree with a Conservative Review Liberty Score of 97% who successfully defended the 2nd Amendment, the Christian Cross and The Ten Commandments before the US Supreme Court—single handily temporarily shut down the government to stop Obamacare—scuttled the Gang of Eight amnesty bill, (Ted was fighting illegal immigration when Trump was still banging cocktail waitresses in Vegas) and called the GOP-e liars in the senate liars on the senate floor.
Cruz ain’t perfect, 97% ain’t but at least, like Reagan was, he is a consistent conservative not an opportunistic neo RINO.
But enough about Ted, what has Trump actually DONE to help restore America to the constitutional republic the Founders created. Lotsa TALK but where dah beef?
Take your time.

You are wrong and here are the facts:

single handily temporarily shut down the government to stop Obamacare—

Obamacare is alive and well. The Omnibus budget bill fully funded it. Cruz had absolutely no impact on Obamacare despite his grandstanding. Green eggs and ham...

cuttled the Gang of Eight amnesty bill,

This is the biggest load of crap ever put forth. First, the Gang of 8 bill passed the Senate 68-32 with 14 Reps voting for it. The measure was never voted upon in the House. Want to know why?

Jeff Sessions led the way by producing a briefing paper that outlined the defects in the Gang of 8 bill and he distributed to all Reps in the House. Sessions also conducted briefings on the bill with House members. Cruz participated in some of the briefings. But his participation was not critical.

But what really killed the bill in the House was the defeat of Cantor in the primary by Dave Brat. How do I know all this? I have been working on the immigration issue for over nine years as a member of a grassroots organization that lobbies on the Hill. I also helped Dave Brat beat Cantor. We made robocalls to 40,000 Reps in Cantor's district alerting the voters to Cantor's plans to pass a Rep version of the Dream Act. Jeff Sessions said that Cantor's defeat is what stopped the Gang of 8 bill.

Cruz has changed his positions on immigration significantly since this campaign began. He was for amnesty, i.e., allowing the lawbreakers to stay and work here. He just didn't agree with a path to citizenship. No deportation. Cruz Tries to Claim the Middle Ground on Immigration. Cruz did nothing about the victims of criminal alien crime or sanctuary cities. Trump is the one who made these issues in the campaign.

And Cruz is a globalist who supports more foreign workers into the US to take American jobs and depress wages. He favored increasing H-1B visas by 500%. His infamous Cruz amendment #5 is sickening. See for yourself as he cites a bogus study to justify these massive increases. All of us involved in the immigration issue were disgusted by it.

There is a reason Jeff Sessions, Phyllis Schlafly, and Kris Kobach have endorsed Trump. They know Cruz and his flip flops on immigration. Cruz will not build the wall nor will he reduce legal immigration. He will support more foreign workers and bad trade agreements. Cruz will say anything to get the nomination.

Cruz has a long history with the Bushes. Neil Bush is part of his campaign team. Lindsey Gray, a member of the Gang of 8, endorsed him. Cruz gets major contributions from Goldman-Sachs, Club for Growth, and a billionaire hedge fund sugar daddy.

Cruz is an insider pretending to be an outsider. He is a fraud.
