While I agree that Trump only cares about broader perceptions over real policy nuts & bolts, that’s essentially what makes me disagree with the comparisons to traditional ideological conservatives like Cruz. Seems like a distinction without a real difference. Trump’s policy prescriptions have been in lockstep with conservatives like Cruz (who votes with Trump 93% of the time). And I’d argue that Trump has moved more in Cruz’s direction than the inverse — mostly because it’s the path of least resistance for Trump.

Yeah, I agree. I think the only thing that would be different if Cruz was president is the lack of twitter drama.
His Twitter would be boring as boring as him
Generally, yeah. But not always...
