Every constitutional conservative is caught up in the emotion over Cruz’s late decision to endorse Donald Trump. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, as always, Daniel moves beyond the convention wisdom, false choices, and binary narratives placed on our plate by the general media. In Daniel’s opinion, this was a very bad political decision on the part of Cruz, but at the same time he breaks down why he understands the decision and the pressure that was brought the bear on the Texas champion. It was bad strategy, but does it erase everything he’s done until now?
We go deep into politics to show how this is much bigger than Cruz, Trump, or any one individual. The ancillary lessons of what led up to this decision are more powerful than the decision itself. And it all leads to the same conclusion: rather than praising Cruz (if you are pro-Trump) or disowning him (if you are anti-Trump), this must serve as a lesson for why the entire two party oligarchy is irremediably broken.
Daniel explains why it’s not worth it for like-minded individuals to tear each other down over disagreements in strategy, especially when we are all confronted with such an existential crisis. This goes beyond Trump and Hillary, it is a reflection of the entire system. We must pray and work together to address the sources of these ills rather than argue about the strategy of how to deal with insufferable symptoms with no good options and from a position of weakness.
