Hey Preacher!!!,
Have you noticed that Trump never talks about freedom, liberty and the Constitution? He talks about himself and how he's the only one who can fix things here in the USA. That's odd, given that he doesn't seem to know the principles on which American greatness was built. Cruz, on the other hand, always says its the yoke of government that hampers the American people and freedom is what we need to solve our problems, not a tariff, government run healthcare, or the Sumpreme Court dictating to us.
I would encourage those seriously concerned with the Second Amendment (which Trump has worked against most of his life) to consider that Cruz was probably the most influential litigator that helped to win the Heller case (2008). While this was going one, Trump was donating money to gun grabbers like Hillary and Schumer. Trump supporters squawk about business this and that, but it doesn't change the fact Cruz has been a principled defender of freedom his entire adult life. Trump, by contrast, has been buying and selling influence.
If you look at Cruz's Amicus Brief in the Heller case, and then look at Scalia's written decision, it's undeniable that Cruz's arguments convinced the Court. Scalia's words clearly echo Cruz's brief. https://www.tedcruz.org/wp-content/...micus_Brief.pdf
Scalia's decision.

This takes time and thought, but that is what is required of responsible citizens. Otherwise, we're no different than Bummer backers chanting slogans and sticking our hand out.
Great minds think alike!
