There isn't a person who runs for President that doesn't have an ego the size of Texas. But I believe Cruz is running because he sincerely believes in the Constitution and wants to return America to the Constitutional Republic that it once was. His positions on the issues prove that to me. He wants to close the border, build the fence, triple the Border Patrol and deny illegal immigrants any benefits (health care, welfare, child care, education, etc.) and never allow them to become citizens. He wants to implement a flat tax, and his budget plan is almost balanced for four years. (No other candidate's budget plan balances - they all run huge deficits.)TomsTXCHL wrote:Someone needs to convince me that Ted Cruz is in the race for any reason other than Ted Cruz.
Rumor has it he is a senator from Texas!?!!?? That can't possibly be true!
We cannot afford any more debt. We're very close to collapse now, so that is a very big concern for me. Cruz is 100% behind the 2nd Amendment. He opposes the UN Gun Treaty. He opposes limiting the capacity of magazines. He opposes further restrictions on accessibility.
If you haven't already, go to his website and read his positions. They are right down the line Constitutional. And I don't think that's the typical political baloney. He has stood up for those principals against his own party.
