Cruz might pick up some voters, but most of us have already decided who we are going to vote for...
I never have liked Cruz, there is a ‘Carson’ thing there, something just doesn’t feel right...could be a lot of things...
He never figured this would come to light.....but Cruz said behind closed doors that his sucking up to Trump has been calculated to assure that when Trump falters, he will collect the lions share of Trump voters.
Another big reason to dislike the calculated Cruz......who is not a very likeable person to begin with.
An honest candidate campaigns on his own strengths.
Cruz believes he cant win on his own.....and he’s right
about that.
A disclaimer about me....I'm the eternal optimist, hoping that someone or something will turn the US around. Politicians who reach prominent office, except perhaps for Jeff Sessions and maybe some of the younger US Senators, have proven to be disappointments.
When Cruz first came out for his magnificent 21 hours, I supported him. When he started his campaign promising to be the candidate of us little folk (paraphrasing) I donated the $25 a month I'm able to put aside for political and charitable contributions. Then the stuff began its slow assault on my loyalty. Wanting to increase H1B Visas by a multiple....oops. Gung ho for getting into the war in Ukraine. Supporting the first TPA, ignoring former supporters cyber-screaming....yikes. Then, getting cute about saying it was okay because he didn't support the second one. His wife's banker buddy contributions. Deep pocket donors with an agenda. And now behind closed doors discussions with deep pocket donors who will want favors in exchange for their confidentiality.
That's a lot of stuff, now that I put it in one place.
This is totally different from the Trump approach of creative problem solving. You identify the problem and come up with a solution. Then you get the best and brightest involved into taking that solution and making it even better. Sometimes the very best ideas come from crazy ideas that generate the thought process and get everyone involved.
Cruz doesn't seem to have that in him. It's more like he's got all the answers. Maybe that's immaturity. I suspect I had all the answers when I was the age Cruz is now.
Sorry that this is over-long. Sometimes I need to type quickly to get my thoughts together.
He might be your nominee
I just don’t feel right about orange people.
