When he first threw his hat into the ring, the man resonated. But he had done this before and fallen flat, a passion that soon faded. It was only when he filed, that he was seen as a contender this round. Immediately jumped aboard the train, barely making the caboose. After telling friends and family, sending everything found to them, slowly they too became passengers. My sister is a true Cruz fan and her DH even more so. The two ride the train, liking what they hear and what they see. Both are deeply religious and abhor gambling, drinking and several other vices. A friend in the medical profession who had thought she would be voting for Carson. Very religious (knows the Bible cover to cover) Feeling much animosity toward Islam and muslims, she sees little problem in allowing illegal aliens enter from the south. She still admires Carson but casting a vote for TRUMP as she feels he is the man who might get things done that need to be done in DC. The democrat in laws, may even vote for him knowing them as I do - cannot confirm this as we have not spoken in almost nine years. But as TRUMP is no Republican per say, and he is a celebrity, chances are that the SIL will cast her vote for the celebrity. His appeal crosses lines of every portion of America. Persons listen and more seem to agree with him than disagree. Believe Cruz has done as well as he has due to the fact Trump was plowing the field and Cruz went behind him planting the seeds of conservatism. Come November the results will definitely interesting.
Yep, Trump is a voter magnet. I have some low info voter friends and family members (in-laws and such) that are/were Obama fans (ugh) that are now on boarding the Trump train. I’m tempted to say to them ‘No! He’s my candidate damn it!’ but I’m also smart enough to stay quiet and recognize that Trump is purposely targeting the ‘low info voters’ just as much as he is the well informed.
However, most devout Ted Cruz and Rand Paul supporters that I know are coming unhinged and are down right mean about Trump’s success.
