Serious answer: Wasn't Ted Cruz supposed to be that type of candidate in 2012 for many conservatives?

Absolutely.

Part of the reason there are no such Republicans this year is most have run as Donald Trump lite instead of as themselves. They are identified completely on their relationship to Trump, not as individuals.

The 2016 version of Rubio did, it seemed to me.
-
When I moved to Florida in 2007 Rubio was still in the state house but even then was already making a name for himself as the future of the GOP.
-
His problem is that the GOP is losing Rubio people - women, minorities and college grads - while holding onto its base and not proactively challenging the president, so his political future is limited in this party.
-
Very well stated. I completely agree.

Serious question: What have Haley, Sasse, or Tim Scott actually done - as opposed to thoughts, prayers, tweets, etc. - to curtail Trump to inspire you?

The only Republican I would support is John Kasich. Not looking for charisma but action. If someone else emerges I'll let you know. John McCain saved my health care. I'm not a politician. I'm a human being. I have needs.

Honestly, I’m tired of fellow republicans needing to be “inspired”. America needs a steady & capable workhorse. We don’t need a great orator or entertainer. Stop looking for someone to fawn over & seek an experienced competent person to support!

I couldn’t agree more. Deeply cynical about “visionary” and “inspirational.” I want a Bill Belichick type- “do your job,” no excuses, fact-driven.

Unfortunately the nature of conservatism doesn’t lend itself to youthful inspiration. Shouting “yes we can “ is so much more exciting than “ we want slow comfortable change”.
-
The GOP is not conservative by that definition. Conservative now means own the libs. No policy changes, no real pressure to rein in corruption, just do what ever it takes to make liberals upset.

Trump may have been extremely inspiring to many people. This should tell you something quite fu*ked up about these “people.” Anyone who’s indifferent to his divisive rhetoric and his lies and finds him “inspiring” is what’s wrong with this country.

@SenSasse if they knew anything about what it means to be conservative -
...or American. I truly believe he could tap into moderate/center right in a way none of popular Democrats can.
