Cruz is not the conservative he is made out to be - dig deeper.

More liberals hating Cruz means Trump has a better chance of winning in the General Election.

Either one will be better than any Democrat.
Cruz: Natural born citizen? Check.

The Judge concluded, as I did, that there is no definitive answer to the question of whether a person born to a U.S. Citizen abroad is a natural born Citizen, the overwhelming historical and legal evidence suggests that the answer is Yes. The arguments against natural born Citizenship for such a person are speculative and not supported by historical evidence.
Trump more principled? I don't know where you get that. I've been following the guy for 30 years and he's always been an opportunist. There's nothing wrong with that but it doesn't show any great adherence to principles.

I also don't know where you get the idea that Cruz isn't as conservative as he is made out to be. He was arguing for conservative principles from his first day in Harvard Law School according to Alan Dershowitz:

“I was against the death penalty, he’s in favor. I was in favor of the exclusionary rule, he’s against it,” he said. “And he made such brilliant arguments that I never had to play the devil’s advocate.”
I don't much believe polls at this stage but they indicate Cruz beats Hillary while Hillary beats Trump in the General. Liberals cross-registering to vote for Trump in the primaries doesn't mean they'll vote that way in the General.
