I think it is like calling shotgun, Cruz announced first, so he should be president.

Democrat Party fears him + Republican Party fears him = what more do you need to know

The enemy of our enemies is our friend. If all of a sudden the Republican establishment embraces him, then get worried.

winning is all that matters. I gave Cruz $50 today. I’m invested in him, I want him to win but winning is all that matters this time around. This is all about crushing the Democratic party. Cruz will be a great hammer but there are other hammers that will work just fine.

I see a man of guts and conviction. A man who knows what he wants, knows where he’s going, and is prepared to lead.

An AMERICAN.
