Cruz has supporters on this forum. What has he done that I should vote for him?(I would vote for him if he became the Republican nominee). However, for purposes of the Primary why should I vote for him.? What has he done?
1) He’s been less bad than the others, though still not good, on illegal immigration.

Pretty impressive...
• Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 - May 2008, Cruz was the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas, the youngest Solicitor General in the entire country, not to mention the longest tenure in Texas history.
• Partner at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where he led the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice.
• Cruz has authored 80+ SCOTUS briefs and presented 40+ oral arguments before The Court
• Cruz served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States
• Described as a ‘superb’ constitutional lawyer, the man’s considerable skills and laser-like focus were on display for all when he took oily reptile Eric Holder by the neck and made him
answer the damn question.
• In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz assembled a coalition of 31 states in defense of the principle that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms.
• Cruz presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
• In addition to his victory in Heller, Cruz has successfully defended the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds, the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools and the majority of the 2003 Texas redistricting plan. Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States.

• Ted Cruz is currently junior US Senator from Texas. In order to win the 2012 Republican nomination for the Senate seat vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz had to defeat Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst -heavily favored/backed by the DC old-guard GOP- in the Republican primary runoff. In the event, TEA Party favorite Cruz crushed Dewhurst, 57-43%...
he then beat Democrat Paul Sadler in the general election by a similar margin, 56-41. Cruz is also endorsed by the Tea Party Movement and the Republican Liberty Caucus.

Godspeed, Senator Cruz- I’m all in.
1) He’s been less bad than the others, though still not good, on illegal immigration.
One man against the GOPe
same as
What can a pistol do against an army?
Constitution, courage and conviction.
It is what Cruz has “Not” been able to accomplish that should make you vote for him.
If you have a bus of school children being pushed down a hill over a cliff by a club of uniparty Dems and Repubs, and one guy is standing in front pushing back and throwing rocks under the wheels, it could be said that that one obstacle has accomplished nothing while the mob has accomplished much and succeeded in our demise. On the other hand, I think the guy slowing the bus is the one who has accomplished more than any of the go-alongs.
Cruz first earned my respect back with the McDonald and Heller 2nd Amendment cases. He was solicitor general of Texas and lead the state briefs for that case (which my then AG Mike Cox was on board with). Since then, he ran for Senate and won. His senate voting record was good.
Why support Ted Cruz and vote for him ?
Easy, consider others who have or will be joining the race.
Rand Paul ? A trojan horse leftist.
Marco Rubio ? RINO qween.
Jeb Bush ? Really ?
Mike Huckabee ? Really ?
What have these other canadates done for you ?
Need I say more ?
Ted Cruz is the only choice for conservatives.
