I believe you tried to answer a question with a question and I didn't fall for it.Hardcore partisan ideologues on both ends are irritated by those of us who choose to think for ourselves.So there is no one to the right of Ted Cruz.Can anyone tell me who exists to the right of Ted Cruz on the political spectrum?

As the saying goes, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
So....let's light up your post.
As structured in this thread, it is the comparison of a position with traditional American views that identify Far Left or Far Right:
4. There is no "Far Right" in this country.
As is always important when dealing with Leftists, Liberals.....let's define terms.
The terms far right and far left are relative to some understood center.
To be "far," one's positions must be radical relative to that center.
American traditions, values, and history represent that center.
The premise here is that, if I can show that the values called 'Far Right' are actually at the center of American traditions, values, and history represent that center, well then, they cannot be correctly awarded the modifier "Far."
"Radical" is important to the discussion. It means "especially of change or action relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough" (see Google.)
Your post is clearly an attempt to paint an individual as an example of Far Right.
When I exposed your attempt to be 'even handed,' the role of any fence sitter....you simply wandered off.
I believe I've put you in your place by asking what positions of Cruz are Far Right.
Thanks.

And nobody sits on a fence with the aplomb that you do.
Thanks.
You're welcome.

That's okay. That attempted deflection answered my question by default.
Cool.
