The time has come for influential conservative and libertarian leaders to come together to find a way to elect a principled leader to become our next President.

It seems they have finally come together. Unfortunately, they are too late and are discussing the wrong strategy.

Leaders are finally confronting the disgrace that is Trump and the damage that he would do to the Republican Party and the Country if he were elected the nominee. Their strategy it seems is to ready funds for a conservative third party candidate. It’s is a devastating strategy, that would only give the Presidency to Hillary, or even worse Trump.

Instead, these influential leaders should swallow their pride and support the only candidate that has the chance to beat Trump: Ted Cruz.

Yes, Ted Cruz has baggage, he doesn’t play along well with his fellow colleagues, he’s made mistakes in the senate and has made enemies. In all honesty, Cruz was not my first choice for the Republican nominee, he is actually my last.

BUT, one cannot deny his love for the constitution and his track record as Solicitor General for the State of Texas. His many arguments in front of the Supreme Court proves that he not only has a deep knowledge of our founding documents but can also perform under pressure.

I understand that Senator Cruz can ruffle some feathers, but he is literally the only hope we have for a true conservative to become our next President. The party and it’s leaders must come together and realize this, or we risk the danger of our party being destroyed.

I have been a loyal Republican all my life and have always voted for the Republican for President since I was 18 despite differences I had.

If Trump is the Nominee, that tradition will unfortunately change.
