What's wrong with Cruz? He could have VP locked up...followed by 8 years in the White House. He's only 45!

I really liked Cruz. He was my first choice until Trump got involved. I only switched to Trump when he said he's build the wall! There is nothing that Trump has said these past 10 months that I disagree with. Trump may not be a conservative, be he is saying a lot of things that I, a conservative, want to hear.

Trump will crush Hillary and be in the White House. Cruz had his chance, but blew it.

The only thing I would change that you said, was that I didn’t sign on to Ted early on as you did.

I started paying attention when Trump announced. At first I simply thought he deserved to be heard. Then when I paid attention to the things he was saying, I signed on board.

People like you (no offense intended) caused me to think Ted was a died in the wool Conservative. Taking this on face value, I championed Ted as the vice presidential pick. We shared that thought.

Around September I started having second thoughts about Ted, but I didn’t get strident about it. By the end of October, I was well on the way.

In November and December I start giving Ted a lot more thought, and I did not like what I saw. He did not appear to me to be as solid a Conservative as he claimed.

Let’s recall that guys like George Bush claimed to be a Conservative and speak for Conservatives. I have become very leery of folks who claim to be Conservative, and I finally came to the conclusion Ted was not what I’m looking for if I’m looking for a Conservative.

Trump has never claimed to be a Conservative, but he has better instincts and policies than Cruz does.

Yes, Trump has made some mistakes. I think his positives far outweigh them.

I’m 100% behind Trump, and Ted has destroyed his chances of getting a vote from me in the future.

Those funny fotos people have morphed to show Ted holding snakes..., that’s more or less the Ted Cruz I’ve come to know. Not happening...

I also used to think Cruz was a good guy standing for the right things. But the more I’ve seen of him, the less I’ve liked. In the Senate and now, he has shown himself to be a politician who adopts an ideology with such fanatical zeal that he seems unaware of what’s around him and even the goal of his supposed ideology. His political future seems to be his main goal.

Everybody sees it... except him. There must be some serious mental deficiency there.
