The man is not perfect, he was wrong on trade and wrong on the Iran deal and I have already noted that I think he is wrong on H1B. But he has not been wrong nearly so much as has Trump.
We all know that no politician is perfect, we try to come up with the least imperfect man and we leave it to Democrats to swoon over their latest Messiah. We conservatives like to think that we look at the core.
Cruz has not slept with the enemy, funded the enemy, embraced the enemy, voted for the enemy or declared himself a member of the enemy party as has Trump. At his core, Trump gives us no reason to believe that he is conservative. At his core, Cruz is far more conservative.
The argument on behalf of Trump is boiling down to: 1) he is electable and Cruz is not 2) Trump is right on immigration and Cruz is not.
1) Electability has yet to be determined; 2) immigration: I've already given the edge to Trump, but only an edge as set forth in my previous reply. There is no basis to believe that Trump will enforce immigration law and Cruz will not. There is every reason to believe that, even with the publication of his immigration paper, Trump's commitment against amnesty is not clear. He will explicitly give amnesty to "terrific" illegal immigrants that he has readmitted. What the hell does that mean?
