Fair enough. Cruz is the only conservative running for the party’s ticket.

IF Cruz were to win the nomination, you do realize that the odds favor him ending up like Barry Goldwater in ‘64?

I’ve been supporting Cruz since before Trump got into the race but you know and I know that between the ‘RATS and the RINO GOPe, they would do to Cruz exactly what they did to conservatives in 1964.

That doesn’t mean that I would be at all heartbroken with Cruz at the top of the ticket, far from it. But the reality is, Cruz has already been unfairly smeared as being ‘too right wing’, he is inexorably associated with government shutdowns (which WE know isn’t a bad thing, but the way the media spins it, he’ll be painted as cutting off Social Security checks, starving Grandma, and evicting kids from their government-subsidized apartments).

And the biggest factor? Cruz has to somehow catch up with and overtake Trump so far as polls, support and money are concerned. Can Cruz match Trump when it comes to financing?

Doubtful.
