Excellent summary! I get your perspective.
The Clinton’s at his wedding, etc...
From my perspective every word out of his mouth from escalator ride aligned with my conservatism 100%.
I saw no alternative and went on faith and my own judgement on character.
Cruz lost me in Iowa with the voter shaming nonsense and his support for amnesty.
Went to a Trump rally in Grand Rapids, MI early in the campaign when all the hecklers were in full force. What a trip. Just an incredible experience.
Glad that my faith and judgement were proved right by his accomplishments.
When ever I hear anyone badmouth him because he’s not moving fast enough, considering the flack he’s taking on all sides I’m amazed at what he has been able to do and those comments anger me.
Thanks again for the well thought out and articulated response!

Most of what he said resonated, but you can see why some conservatives were skeptical about whether he meant it, given the history I cited. But so far, he has stuck to it, kept his word.
Most of the skeptics are on board. That’s based on evidence. And that’s a good thing.
So far, the record is quite Reaganesque.
And Cruz has never supported amnesty. Ever. And I don’t know what oyu mean by “voter shaming” unless you’re talking about Ted looking the Iowa corn farmers in the eye and telling them he’d get rid of their ethanol subsidies. (Ted was right about that, BTW.)
