I like Cruz. He was my TOP guy, because he was the best we had, until Trump stepped up. That still is not really taking anything away from Cruz, per se.
In “normal” circumstances, Cruz would be an ideal candidate. Everything else being equal, there isn’t that much daylight between Cruz and Trump, except for Cruz’s polish and his legal education, as contrasted with Trumps brash courage.......and financial resources.
Cruz’s Achilles heel is the same as 99.44% of all candidates. He needs money to survive politically. We may kid ourselves, but anyone who accepts donations for their campaigns is going to be affected in their positions and declarations by those of the deep pockets people ponying up their campaign money. Trump does not have that problem. He doesn’t have to depend on anyone but God. And for some reason, at the moment, Cruz can’t seem to get much traction, hovering near the bottom in the polls. I’m really pleased that he’s got a good relationship with Trump. He’d be the ideal VP candidate with Trump.
Because of the huge dimensions, and the deep entrenchment of the DC Cartel, much as I like Cruz, I don’t think he has the chops to take on that cartel and bust it up. I have no doubt at all whether Trump has the chops for it. To be totally frank about it, I think Cruz is too much of a gentleman to employ the brass knuckles combat that will be needed to make a lot of the old GOPe mossbacks retire and leave town; and make the newer members cut the crap and toe the line.
After Trump has served his two terms and has things straightened out and headed back in the right direction and the Country is booming again, a la Ronald Reagan, then is the time for a Cruz or a maybe a Walker to run for President and continue the dynasty for 8 more years.
No offense, Tex. But we only have this one last chance to save our Nation. We need to use our big gun right from the get go. Otherwise we can agree to disagree. Who knows what will shake out in a year and a half anyway. Obunga may refuse to leave and declare martial law. Then the fecal matter will fall into the ventilating equipment like never before.
