LOL - boy you had to really stretch on some of those. I will say though that I believe Cruz did support amnesty in 2013 with the Gang of Eight. Yes, I know, he was just lying to make sure the bill didn’t pass. It did pass the Senate though didn’t it? It was the Congress who stopped it.

Oh, give Cruz time, he might end up being married 3 times also. Too soon to call that one isn’t it?

...A guy so stable, sober and poised that you want his finger on the button.

It's a good list of Trump weak points.   I notice that the list does not include any of Cruz's weak points, so some would say the list is biased.

The last point I strongly disagree with.   Trump is very solid.   Here's a guy who built a $10 billion business and has been in the public eye for decades.

One of the key reasons I am voting for Trump is his experience and success running a large organization.

I posted a little analysis on FR that looks at the Trump vs. Cruz debate from a non-policy angle.  

Cheers.
