Have you completely discounted the possiblity of Cruz changing the GOP from the inside?

Not gonna happen.

I also don't expect him to "change the GOP" - but I would expect him to govern as a conservative, which is enough to get him my vote.

Good luck with that. You won't change your mind until you've been bent over and screwed...again...and perhaps not even then, considering all the screwing the GOP has thus far given to GOP voters. I won't be a part of it.
