Actually Cruz has been just as honest as Trump...just not quite as flamboyant. And Trump has a huge amount of name recognition.
Dear Rooster,
With Trump, there is no birther issue, for those who vote ‘WASP’ to bother with.
Trump is becoming the George Steinbrenner of Presidential politics.
He speaks his mind and gets in your face about it.
Don’t like it ?
Tough s@*t !
Last time I looked Cruz was in 8th or 9th place in the polls.
I guarantee the Cruz supporters will have hissy fits if Cruz does not make the cut for the debates.
Somehow I think the Trump phenomenon will end up benefitting Cruz. Eventually Trump’s hubris will wear on people, and they will look around for a more personable, but courageous, candidate with a similar immigration policy.
Cruz and Trump IMO are the only two GOP candidates who would stand a chance in the general election. Any of the others and you may as well start saying President Clinton.
