>>People that actually vote for this liberal loser when there are clearly viable conservative alternatives (i.e. CRUZ) on the ballot are no better than the GOPe trying to pass some RINO loser off as a conservative.

Cruz needs to step up his game. He and Trump occupy the same space in this primary and Trump is just outshining him.

It's a little more than that. Cruz is still stuck in a legislative mindset of solving problems. Trump is viewing things from the perspective of an executive. Executives usually are more big-picture visionaries that can sell stuff to boards, employees, and investors. When I see Cruz attaching amendments to highway bills, no matter how philosophically reasonable it is, this comes off to the public as "more of the same problem we've had" in D.C. They don't see, nor will they ever, see the tactical issues involved.

So having started with Cruz and heard him speak, I'm slowly shifting to Trump because of the leadership issue. Walker is a distant, distant third, because he is "small ball" in a different way. He still hasn't nationalized his (successful) state arguments. He hasn't told the public why unions must be crushed, how they are a Dem slush fund. So either he doesn't understand it, or he doesn't want to be unpopular nationally.

Why? To go with a Looser—so as to let the RINOs trample us into Jeb Bush or Christie Cream>? “Why Jeb is the only one who can win” We heard this Mantra before—and we lost—Dole, McCain, Mittens. Is the GOP a real Party or a Stalking horse so Joe Biden can serve Obama’s 3rd Term?
