Bill i hear what you are saying but what happens if neither get the nomination? Then I write in a constitutional conservative. Voting for the lesser of two evils has led us to this point. Voting for bad candidates has only empowered the GOP to keep giving us establishment candidates that continue policies bad for the average American. I've always voted for whoever the nominee was but it's time to quit condoning government corruption among the party that is supposed to represent conservative values. I know what you mean but I am afraid what happened in 08 and 12 will happen again which is due to a crappy republican candidate we had very low voter turn out and we know what happened with that...This being said all we can do is try to educate everyone we can about Cruz and hope it is enough to get him the nomination, On another note i think he is the only one that stands a chance to beat hillary as she will tear Trump a new one in a heart beat...

"Establishment" = big donors / billionaires. They love puppets they can control. This is my issue with him. He has had several opportunities to take a stand against the establishment but most of the time he has followed their lead. Cruz on the other hand has taken a stand and called them out for their back room deals on several occasions. Notice Rubio's talking points on immigration when asked about his record, he always goes to "we have to start enforcing the laws, build the wall, get it under control first and then we can talk to the people and see what they will support". A real leader doesn't wait to see which way the political winds are blowing, he stands on principle and conviction when leading...All that being said, even though I have some issues with him, I would vote for Rubio if he gets the nod. I can't say the same if Trump wins the nomination.

The gang of 8 deal soured many on him. Other than that he's not a bad candidate and will have my vote if he wins the nomination.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
