Cruz was really the true conservative ....feel bad for him. He’s a very good man. I hope he will be able to still help change this country....

I’m sorry your favorite candidate didn’t make it, but my big lesson this campaign was learning that labels box us in where the establishment elite want us. Here’s your “conservative” candidate. Even if the candidate believes in conservative ideals, or is the right religion, if he is owned by the establishment elite, he can’t govern according to the constitution. Example in point: George W Bush. I believe he believes in conservatism, and that his Christianity is genuine. But he was brought to politics by the globalist cheap labor cabal, and their interests are not those of the American people. Thus he did the bidding of who brung him, not according to his “conservative affiliation.”

I only say that in case it provides you some comfort. I am not trying to offend. A lot of FReepers, including me, started out all in for Cruz. I donated probably $200 to him which was a lot for me. But now with 20/20 hindsight I don’t believe he would have been free to govern according to the constitution like he says, nor has he as Senator.

Again, I’m sorry. I hope the country turns out better for all of us after the election, and that Hillary does not get the presidency she wants more than life itself.

A true conservative is what the senate needs. Ted Cruz should apply himself to the senate job he was elected and trusted to do. He has the brains and stamina to stand up for conservatism in a forum that will make a difference for this country. Get back to work Ted.

Cruz was really the true conservative

No he was not.

Ted Cruz is not a constitutional-conservative. Were Cruz really a constitutional-conservativehe would not be running for president. There is no way in he[[ that the son of a Cuban born in Canada is a natural born citizen of the United States under original intent.

There is no way a constitutional-conservative would have voted for the Corker amendment.

There is no way a constitutional-conservative would have voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act.

There is no way a constitutional-conservative would have voted for the TPP enabling TPA.

There is no way an America conservative would have proposed legalizing illegals here.

There is no way an America conservative would have proposed a 500% increase in H1B Visas.
