by some metrics — taxes, school choice — Bush was a more conservative governor than Reagan

What Will misses is that working class Republicans don't care about tax cuts or new entitlements programs for upper income people. They do care about amnesty and gay marriage.

Yup. Its why Rick Santorum did so well in Michigan in 2012. He talked less about capital gains taxes and more about manufacturing taxes which blue collar people understand.

Cruz can tie the whole package together. Everything he needs can be found in Reagan's 1980 nomination acceptance speech.

Ronald Reagan Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech - 7/17/1980

Absolutely flawless
