Though just as conservative and volatile, the Texas senator is much more purposeful and patient than Trump.

I would definitely agree with that. Cruz can actually make a reasoned argument against liberalism whereas on most issues Trump has been a liberal within the last decade.

The National Review is trying extremely hard today to alienate as much of the conservative base as is possible. Who knew that Romney was going to run again...

Who cares what Graham and Jeb Bush think of Trump? I certainly don’t.

Liberal most of his life, more documented policy changes than anyone I ever heard of.
Cruz has a manner of speaking clearly and concisely, making reasoned answers in a sentence. I have heard him. Trump is bombastic and belittling.
