Compared to zero specifics from Ted Cruz on what he would do. And unlike Trump, Cruz has no record of accomplishments. Yes, he won that Senate seat in Texas and we were all happy for him. But he’s been mostly a no-show since and has done nothing for conservatives except talk the good talk.

Like Trump says, all talk and no action. Or as they say in Texas, all hat and no cattle.

Maybe Cruz should focus on doing the job he was elected to do and build a record of accomplishment that he can run on later. He’s only about 45 years old. There is hope for him yet but he has a lot to learn and he needs to actually accomplish something besides campaigning and being an absentee senator.

Cruz is no longer a candidate as long as his campaign remains suspended but the historical record should be truthful. The idea that Cruz was not specific in his programs is utter rubbish. He was quite clear about his tax proposals, his healthcare proposals, his regulatory reforms etc., far more clear and specific than Trump has deigned to be.

For those who are distressed about the truth when they are confronted by it, insisting that objective analysis be suspended on behalf of their candidate, it is worth noting that conservatives should be loyal to principles and not personalities. As stated during the campaign I am willing to hold my nose with one hand, pull the lever for Trump with the other hand while falling on both knees beseeching Almighty God to forgive sunshine conservatives for forcing this choice upon us but I am not willing to distort reality or permit a historical record to be distorted.
