Well my precepts are not yours so our principles most likely do not match either. Cruz is already history as far as being president goes so your barking for a dead tree that has already lost its spark.
Not only do I think you're wrong, I think you're making a grave political mistake to write off the conservative vote. This is not going to end well for you.
Well your conservatives and crooked Dems left us hanging years ago to protect their own thugs and crooks. "End well for you" sounds like somewhat of a threat. Define your ideal "conservative" and we can go from there. I do not consider those who rule over people forcing purchases of insurance, genetically modified foods (with damaging health associated consequences), forced vaccines via legislation, their own personal brand of education by forcing their will on others, my children your children, total denial of justice for victims of counterfeit documents and fraud a conservative trait I want anything to do with. Maybe you do.
Again, you are quite wrong. Country club Republicans sold you up the river, not conservatives. The Conservatives have not held majority political power in this country since the 90s, and only then for a couple of years. The establishment elite in the GOP are mostly neocons who are globalists and corporatists. They believe in big government just like the progressives, they just want to favor giant corporations more. We call this "crony corporatism" and it's as much of a threat to free market capitalism as the progressives. I think Trump, if he's not a progressive, falls in this category.
If you think this man is going to give you smaller government which interferes less in your life, you're dreaming. He doesn't even talk about reducing the size or scope of government, just more of what government is going to "do for you!" Translation: "how government is going to screw you!"
I am a constitutional conservative. I believe in the founding principles of personal liberty and individual freedom. A smaller, limited federal government that gets out of our way and lets us use the tools of free enterprise and free market capitalism to promote our talents, skills and ideas in the competitive marketplace. We don't have a candidate in this race, that was Ted Cruz. So my vote is up for grabs and I am looking for someone who embraces the ideals of Ted Cruz... not someone who is hell bent on destroying the man politically because he didn't get an endorsement.
