He has steadily avoided the pitfalls and has slowly risen in the polls as the libs and Kardashian candidates flitter up and down on the fickle whims of their fickle supporters.
At the end of the race he will be where he needs to be. In firm control of a firm voter support network. People can then either get on board or not.
It pains me to say it, but I do agree that Cruz has yet to really show he can expand beyond what one would consider he natural base of followers - learned, grounded, ideological conservatives. He is improving slowly within the Republican field - but very slowly, and that does leave one to wonder what kind of cross over appeal he would have in a general election. Cruz is improving as a candidate though and as the most conservative candidate in the race and a skilled debater who really understands the issues, I will continue supporting him.
Cruz' only realistic path to the white house begins with a prominent position in a Trump administration.
Trump is near the bottom of my list. Sorry, but no thanks. If he is the nominee I would vote for him in the general, but I would not be enthusiastic about a self promoting realityTV star who I see as not much more than a con man. Hey, what ever happened to his birther investigation? His said his investigators were finding all kinds of amazing stuff in Hawaii.........and then nothing. Not a peep. What happened to that?
