Principled Conservative really grates me. Ted is a pompous whatever claiming that moniker. I’m a conservative in my daily life. How principled I am comes into question. I like to have a couple of drinks and I smoke. (For shame!)
Ted comes off as a preacher that would chastize me for living my life. His speech cadence and love of Glenn Beck are just creepy. Put it this way, I would not want someone like that as my next door neighbor. I just want to live my life freely as I choose without the next door neighbor giving me the side eye.
Ted gives me the creeps that way. When you’ve lost me, you’ve lost the base that would consider Cruz.
Contrary to popular belief, we don't like someone who claims to be all in for God, and then run a campaign that's as dishonest as any in modern history.
Hypocrisy isn't well received.
