• Senator Cruz is rising in the polls, both nationally and in Iowa, and winning a slew of social-conservative endorsements. Having backed him early in his 2012 race for the Senate, we feel a certain avuncular pride. Sentimentality aside, Cruz’s rise is a welcome departure from past presidential races, in which social and economic conservatives limited their influence by parting ways. And it’s especially gratifying to see someone thoroughly marinated in conservative principles rise to a position to challenge Donald Trump, who has barely dipped his toe in them. Whether or not Cruz ultimately wins the nomination and the presidency, he has already done a service to conservatism in this race.
