Ted Cruz.
Reagan long talked, as in his first inaugural, about the idea that the individual has a moral stature independent of politics, and if he is left unmolested can do great things. But once government gets beyond its essential functions of preserving order and begins to plan people’s affairs for them it is a destructive force. This is a powerful idea; has Sen. Cruz really expressed it much? (I did a brief lazy search and didn’t come up with anything.)
