Very few would have pulled out of the Paris non-treaty and the Iran non-treaty, maybe just Cruz. While I agree that most Republicans would have picked strict constructionist SCOTUS nominees, I doubt Christie or Kasich would have, and even fewer would have defended Kavanaugh after the character assassination assault from the Left. Christie and Kasich probably would not have turned back the Obama-imposed regulations either. Most, but not all, would have gotten rid of ISIS as Trump has (you should at least notice the lack of beheading headlines since Trump took office). None would have taken on our trade "partners" to get deals that are more fair to the US, or criticized the NATO 'allies' for failing to uphold their obligations.

Trump has done more to boost US sovereignty in the world and return congressional authority to lawmaking than any other POTUS since Coolidge. And all you see is the "clown show."

And I don't remember Ted Cruz actually bowing to anyone, although your Leftist allies make that claim.

I give Christie and Kasich more credit than you.

I'm inclined to applaud anyone who restores authority to Congress and takes it away from decades-old regulatory agencies, but our Congress has shown no signs of being competent to hold this power in the last eight years. Especially in the house the Republican majority can't agree among themselves on anything other than trashing what Democrats do.
