Since history shows that few real "conservatives" can win a general election, I heartily welcome the nomination of an idiot ideologue like cruz. It will guarantee that Hillary becomes POTUS.
And if the "conservatives" don't like the way the republicans are running the party, then by all means they should get out and form their own, very small, miniscule, minority, wacko fringe party.
Then all will see how little the conservatives mean in a general election
