The fundamental reason why Cruz is the best choice!

Peter O'Donnell 

What is the fundamental reason to select Senator Ted Cruz over a field of other candidates for the Republican presidential candidate?
The answer lies in the constitution -- not in some part of the document, but in the IMPORTANCE of the document.
Senator Cruz has established that he understands this fundamental fact, and relies on it more than any other candidate. And he has the experience and educational background to make that understanding more effectual.
Why is the Constitution so particularly important in this presidential election? Was it not always equally important?
It is more important because America, like many western nations, has had an undeclared social(ist) revolution in recent years, and the Constitution has been shoved aside, either ignored or abrogated by actions of that revolutionary government.
The revolution has a deep foundation, it is sustained by academic and media elites, and most of the Democratic Party. Substantial parts of the Republican Party, while perhaps not as actively revolutionary, have chosen to look away and pretend this has not taken place. Some might say they have aided and abetted the revolution.
A second American revolution is a big deal no matter how you view it, and so to pretend it has not taken place is the ultimate act of denial. It is a big deal because it affects every important area of everday life, from security issues to taxation to the economy, foreign relations (again related to security) and the place of special interest groups in a larger society.
The first revolution had only one special interest group, that being the people of the (then) Thirteen Colonies. We, the people, fought that revolution.
This second revolution is a victory of a coalition of minorities against a placid and ambivalent majority, half of whom are so shamed by guilt trips that they refuse to take any stand whatsoever.
Yet the Constitution remains intact and the only effective foundation for resistance. Some speak of the need of a second American revolution, by which they mean a revolution against the progressives. However, that would be more of a counter-revolution, a restoration of constitutional principles.
The most significant constitutional principle that requires restoration is the separation of powers. In close second place would be the first (and second) amendments. Of equal significance perhaps is a restoration of the balance of powers between branches of government.
The Constitution also requires that the president be entirely loyal to the nation and not be the servant of some foreign power (or religion). Legitimate doubt now exists about whether this current administration is at least in the spiritual sense in violation of that essential principle.
Now the common law is also an extension of any free country's constitution, properly applied, and common law demands that a nation have clear borders, citizenship and military checks and balances. Can anyone truthfully say that America has any of those now?
I believe that America can count on Senator Cruz to restore the legal foundation of at least the executive branch of government, and to have a positive influence on other actors. Perhaps other candidates would be good in these areas too. It is not a case that only one man has any clue about the importance of these principles, perhaps half a dozen are appropriately concerned and able to act. But in each case, they fall short of the high standard set by Senator Cruz.
Foreign policy, relations with Russia and the Islamic world, also require a person of the highest integrity, resolve and vision. There are various sources of wise counsel in those fields, and Senator Cruz will need all of them in the mess left behind by the Obama years.
And if another candidate is to win, then I hope and pray that they will at least have the close co-operation and participation of Senator Cruz to assist them. Perhaps it would be just as effective to have a Trump-Cruz administration, one is challenged to imagine a Vice President Trump, but when given this high level of concern about the future of the nation (and the free world in general), one cannot think of a valid reason to set aside the best available candidate. We made that mistake in 2008, let's not make it again in 2016.
Cruz to victory.
