I think Cruz has to rebuild some trust among the base.I really don't blame him for what he's done in an attempt to win the presidency but I do think he badly misread how to get there. Once he realized he lost the role as the "outsider" in the race, he just reverted back to politics as usual.

He can't do that again - unless Trump redefines what the usual politics are.

I think I'd like him as AG - but I still don't believe he is on board for stopping illegal immigration. I just have serious reservations about any first generation American - especially one with dual citizenship being dedicated to stopping mass immigration into this country.


The "base" has been totally alienated from this election. Nothing new.


if you define base as anyone who thinks the will of the people should be ignored, then good

keep on permanent ignore


The alternative to liberal is conservative. Liberals are the Democrat's base, conservatives are the Republican's base. It is not a subjective term that is up for interpretation. There are no conservatives in the race.


if it was only that black and white

There are about 7 definitions of what conservative is.

You were defining it differently every week on here

Its about the 2A

Its about SCOTUS

Its not about immigration

on and on.

Being conservative isn't about whatever it takes to get your candidate elected.

Trump would be a laughing stock if he had not have touched on the some basic ideas that voters wanted. Immigration, bad trade, islamic threats

whether anyone likes it or not, he's (and with the backing of the voting public) has made those conservative principles.

and those opposing it put up a vicious fight - and failed miserably at it
