I agree in that you don't know will he revert back to being a Democrat (but officially he was only one during George Bush Jr.'s administration, and it does seem like he has some weird problem with that family).

 

If you go back to O'Reilly's interview with Donald Trump in 2011, his views really weren't different than they are today.  He felt that troops should be taken out of countries around the world that we spend billions of dollars defending for nothing in return, but hatred from the countries we are defending (Isolationism, with the exception that he will support Israel 100%).  He felt with the troops brought back they can finally support the border, and stop the influx of criminals which bring drugs, weapons and diseases into our country year after year.  He felt that our healthcare system under Obamacare is horrible, but he wanted to replace it with something better & more effective.  He refuses to touch Social Security, (remember you have to get elected in a general election & the Democrats are promising to actually increase it while a lot of Republicans want to remove it & in polls people including myself want Social Security to remain)!

 

I can understand wanting to go with Ted Cruz whom has similar views (some he adopted from Trump after seeing his popularity on certain issues like Immigration & the wall, but I don't think Ted Cruz will win in a general election. 

Hilary Clinton will be far dirtier than Donald Trump ever was in a debate accusing Ted Cruz of being worse than Richard Nixon with his scandals & poor ethics during the primaries & a sexist for his Texas views on Abortion, and a racist (because the Democrats always call Republicans racist & sexist because it always works for them so why stop doing it).  She will say that Ted's immigration views are cruel & racist which she would do to Trump but Trump has a way of spinning things that Ted simply cant do...
