Exactly. There were only two conservatives, Cruz and Lee, and both are sore losers trying to Jimmy the system to defy the overwhelming voice of the voters.
If it had been Trump v Cruz from the beginning, I think Trump would have gotten a clear majority.
The term "conservative" has no meaning anymore. Big government, endless wars we have no intention of winning while importing enemy combatants and putting them on welfare,, massive bank bailouts, unlimited open borders, and ignoring existing laws on immigration are the new conservatism.
Cruz’s entire campaign was built around being the conservative underdog to JEB! When JEB! disappeared, Cruz could not adapt.
