As a staunch Cruz supporter and a reluctant Trump supporter let me be the first to say CONGRATULATIONS!
I have crossed swords(as many of us Cruzheads have) with Trump supporters from the beginning. Many of us on FR that supported Cruz were concerned with two major percieved potential issues with the Donald....That he was indeed a conservative and was he electable. The lattert was answered last night, the former will be answered in the coming months.
I voted for Donald Trump because even the remotest chance of a Hillary Clinton presidency was unconscionable. Many of us Cruzheads got over our butthurt over Cruz losing and realized that even an imperfect Trump was vastly superior to the vile Hildebeast. Hence many of us DID vote our conscience and cast our ballot for Trump. I honestly believe that many Cruz supporters including those here on FR did the same and certainly helped push Trump over the top.
The time for all Republicans to unite and push for the conservative constitutional governance that this country is so desperately lacking is now. I will give Donald Trump my complete support in the diligent pursuit of this end. I would hope that all fellow conservatives would do the same.
My views are pretty much the same as yours. I supported Cruz and voted for him in the primary, because he is a true social and constitutional conservative, and I did not like or trust Trump. But I voted for Trump on Tuesday, because the alternative was Hillary, and that was a sure nightmare. Now let’s see what a Trump/Pence administration, working with Republican Congress, will do.
