9. unsurprising -- DJT is just pulling from the first "credible" conservative source he can find

social conservatives don't give a rat's ass whether Heritage is accurate on its economic projections or hires racists to overstate fiscal losses from immigration reform. they care about having someone in a position of authority tell them in no uncertain terms that they'll get SCOTUS nominees who pass muster on issues of birth control restrictions, anti-gay freedoms, and more-guns-for-white-people.

criticizing the resource on the basis of it's dumbass economic positions is missing the point; DJT is scoring with his support base by saying this, and probably digging a chunk out of Cruz's base at the same time.
