We really need the desirable qualities of Cruz and Trump combined in the same president. Cruz with a big hammer would be nice. I fear that Cruz, if elected, would not be able to make any headway. He is too much of a Constitutionalist to kick ass and take names with the dictatorial powers that are now inherent in the office courtesy of the giveaways of the Court and Congress. He will have a Congress solidly in opposition to anything he wants to do, no matter the nominal makeup of the Congress.
Sorry, the Ted Cruz I know has been kicking ass and taking names long before Trump decided to throw his hat in the ring.
And on the flip-side, with Trump, you get very little fidelity to the Constitution and the likelihood that he won't nominate strict Pro-Life SCOTUS judges and judges that WILL NOT fight against the Gay Marriage issue.
Furthermore, he will do nothing much where ObamaCare is concerned since he is completely in favor of universal healthcare.
Sorry, no sale.

Has Trump stated what his position on same-sex “marriage” is? Because that’s important. Indeed that’s the most important moral issue of our time.

What I am saying is the next president is going to be a dictator whether he likes it or not. I doubt Cruz can operate in that milieu. To get anything done against a solidly oppositional Congress, he will have to do extraConstitutional things. I can’t see him doing that. The only tactic I can see him perhaps being successful with is getting the states to call an Article 5 convention.
