FORT MILL, S.C. — Ted Cruz, long reluctant to directly criticize Donald Trump, threw caution to the wind Saturday as he ripped his Republican presidential opponent as a fake conservative. "Donald’s record does not match what he says as a candidate," told reporters before a national security forum here at a church, delivering an assessment of the onetime ally in the race that would have been unthinkable as recently as last week. "I recognize what Donald says on the campaign trail today is fairly conservative, but voters are discerning."Cruz went on to respond to a serious of critical tweets earlier Saturday morning from Trump by questioning his judgment and temperament to be president. The senator suggested Trump's tweets were caused by a new poll that show him beating the survey-obsessed billionaire in a head-to-head match-up."That has got to drive him nuts, and I imagine it sent him out of bed this morning tweeting and tweeting and tweeting," Cruz said. "I think in terms of a commander in chief, we ought to have someone who isn’t springing out of bed to tweet in a frantic response to the latest polls."....http://www.texastribune.org/2016/01/16/cruz-blasts-trump-fake-conservative/
...This is way their are more people calling themselves Independent, than ever before. And this is why Trump had to 'pick' a label to run under.I don't think Trump fits into any of the current political parties. He is just Trump, and that's all. There is no Trump platform because he is running as a person, and not as a representative of some dogmatic institution. We believe this. And, we believe that. Trump has no part of that. Trump believes what he believes. He does not live with blinder on. He takes the best parts of both sides, and rejects the nonsense.That is a large part of his popularity and success.
What percent of American voters self identify as a "conservative"? Three?
