Trump very likely self destructs. I know thats blasphemy to many here but one thing you need is a sense of gravitas for the position and i just don’t see someone who had his own reality show pulling that off.
He has always loved to hear himself talk and my own opinion is thats why he runs.Clearly the people are fed up with Washington and the whole insider culture as well as the gradual decline in living standard for so many here. Politicians like to bemoan the latter but then turn around and speak of amnesty as though the two issues are totally unrelated. It’s like they have their heads in the ground. So Trump walked right into a hot button issue and staked out the claim and being an outsider gives people hope he will reverse the decline.
Cruz is i believe the quickest and smartest of the bunch. When the media runs with stories how he’s disliked by many of his peers they’re giving him, unwittingly i think, the very same outsider status thats helping Trump. It’s simply not as obvious but it will become so in due time.
I was all Walker for a good two years but i find myself seeing Cruz in a different light and have no problem making him my 1A at this time. I know one thing. If Hillary or Jeb or both become the nominees they will absolutely hurt turnout for their side. Neither generates any passion at all and seem to me at least to be indistinguishable from one another.

Just remember “ The Boz “ from the Seattle Seahalks.

So much promise, flamboyant, but retired in his 3rd year as a pro.
