This article points out what Washington would be like under Cruz - total deadlock. It’s a shame but unless Cruz abandons his Constitutional principles and resorts to executive orders, nothing will get done. He will have to constantly fight both the libs and the Republicans. That is fine if you can somehow move the ball down field, but I do not see how he will do it. Obviously, this assumes he gets past the eligibility challenge, which the liberal nominee will launch if he becomes the Republican nominee. I would really like to hear from those who have a plan on how Cruz would overcome the Washington obstructionists.

“abandons his consttitutional principles” whoa there.

The constitution is important or it isn't. It has been trampled on enough. Our country needs to be reminded the value of what conservatism is all about.

The liberals have successfully branded people who strongly believe in the constituion as nutjob and fringe.
The constitution needs to be restored to its honerable place in our government.

Trump needs to prove he really respects the constition. No saying he will write his executive orders to replace Obama’s exective orders. No, self serving birther attacks will not prove that. If he pushes all of the constition and not just what he thinks sound good as an attack, it could possibly be seen as more genuine.

Leadership and the ability to go over the heads of the parties to the people is essential. While Cruz has good views I do not believe he has that capability. Nothing he has done in the Senate has shown he could sway support to his positions. He took some principled positions but that alone is not enough.

Yours is an honest and realistic assessment of a president Cruz.
