Have you followed Cruz’s career at all since he took on an establishment candidate in the primary and won his Senate seat?

He has been a constant thorn in the side of the GOPe. McCain hates him. Boehner hates him. McConnell hates him. Graham hates him.

Sessions praised him. Lee praised him. DeMint praised him.

We get it that you don’t like him because he went against your precious Donald. It doesn’t mean you should rewrite history to try and prove a point. Cruz was by far the most socially and economically conservative and pro Constitution candidate in the race on traditional conservative issues. This is indisputable. He wasn’t AS anti-immigration as Trump (but he was much more so than the rest of the field). He wasn’t AS anti-Islam as Trump (but he was much more so than the rest of the field). He wasn’t as anti-globalism/pro-sovereignty as Trump. These are some important issues that I hope define the future of conservatism. I am extremely glad Trump is bringing these to the forefront. These are the reasons why I hope Trump wins and will gladly vote for him (unlike Romney who I felt sick voting for).

To say Cruz is part of the GOPe is laughable and ignorant.

I haven’t liked Cruz since he dishonestly campaigned with Punk Ryan for Obama’s TPA. I was a supporter of his up until that point. Trump wasn’t even a candidate then.

I was fooled into supporting Cruz by his theatrical antics for many years. But now it is apparent that has not been fighting for us but instead selfishly advancing his own career. That is he is not using his every breath to defeat Hillary Criminal now is all you need to know about Ted Cruz’s “conservatism”.

BTW, Lee is defacto supporting Hillary Criminal. I wouldn’t use him as a character reference at this point. LOL.
