I totally agree. This is what too many in the GOP still don’t get. As long as we allow the left and the power class to define the rhetorical limits to be only what they like which is what political correctness essentially is there is no winning for America or conservatism. Its why Trump is the answer. He can bring down the double standards and the kill the politically correct paradigm like no other. Cruz is out there trying to use political correctness against Trump. It shows that he(Cruz) is not the man for the job of President.
Cruz is also cowed by political correctness. Otherwise, he would have been out front in calling for building a border fence and deporting illegal aliens. He didn't because he feared the "racist" charge. A leader cannot let his enemies define him.
They tried to hang the racist label on Trump for his boldness in calling for building the wall. He defeated them by basically saying "screw you!". And he survived.
Reminds me of another leader who defeated the pc crowd by telling Gorbachev to TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!
