Cruz has shown himself to be nothing more than what we were hoping him not to be

You mean Ted Cruz, the guy who opposed ethanol subsidies in Iowa when it was considered political suicide to do so? And he won doing it? That Ted Cruz?

And Trump on that issue? All in on ethanol subsidies. Who's the conservative again?

but if it were not for not for Trump entering this race and correctly voicing the issue of illegal immigration, porous borders, neglecting immigration law and feckless, incompetent leadership for the last 30 years, we’d be wondering who Jeb Bush would be picking for VP right now.

Trump has said some good things, no doubt. The problem is he is saying them now when he's had the very opposite positions in the recent past. Trump has made it clear he wears whatever hat is necessary to get what he wants. You do know that not EVERY rich businessman pours money into Democrat coffers like "the Donald". There are some principled conservative business folks who just don't do that. Trump is either not a conservative, or not particularly principled. I believe both to be true, but I've no doubt about the former. Trump is just not a conservative, has no conservative track record and is not steeped in conservative thought.

Trump will roll through NH, SC and on through the SEC states.

Perhaps, we won't have to wait long to find out. He should win NH since he had a big lead, but my guess is that gap will close. I never believed Trump will be the nominee and that holds true still. I think he is too erratic and volatile to even remain in the race if he isn't winning every state. He just can't stand being viewed as a loser, even for a week.

Ted Cruz did not have Slick Willie and Hillary as invited guests at his wedding as Trump did. As grandma used to say: Show me your friends and I’ll tell you what you are.
