I’d love to see Cruz resonate, then see Cruz develop a humor-based, charismatic presentation. He’s got it all...he just needs to be able to win over those who are skeptical or fallen into the view that he’s some evil, meanie. For Cruz to win the general, he would need to be able to use some level of charisma to win over the blue-collar class that would naturally flow to a Clinton. Trump can get that group. If it’s not Trump, the candidate will need to be able to do the same.
He has big donors. I can’t imagine those particular donors not being in favor of amnesty.
