“What exactly should he do to “get” support? Buy us all dinner? Knowing his record, and the kind of man he is,should be sufficient.”
If it was sufficient, it would have happened, but unfortunately, it has not.
“It only requires common sense to get behind Cruz.”
Apparently, it requires more, or he would be leading. I think that is the problem. He isn’t perceived as a leader. Trump is.
Not saying it’s true or false. It appears that way.
For the explanation of that “appearance”, you only need to look at our tabloid/reality-show culture.

You’re relying on the current uninformed polls, perhaps wait until the votes are cast. Polls once had Walker as the nominee.
Common sense would be sufficient, but it isn't as 'common' as people seem to think.
It is trumped by the pep-rally mentality which enables people to shell out millions for a stadium and then pay to go see 'their' team.
Rah. Rah. R.a.h....(Raped again, homies)
The leading candidate in the polls has flamboyantly attacked all the right people in all the right ways, ones which involve little thought or cognition beyond a snappy comeback. Hence, he is leading.
The media like him enough to keep him in the forefront, eclipsing others in print and airtime, which keeps the pep-rally going.
No, people who plan to vote for Trump over Cruz are just flat out cowards and straight up ignorant.
Reading Donald Trump’s positions, he seems to be for everything so he can be for “your” side at one place, then switch at the other:
(1) “Let’s have competition in healthcare and make it the best healthcare free market ever vrs we gotta take care of women and children and I will do this whether it’s a Republican thing to say or not.”
What is it? Single payer or free market or both?
(2) “All illegals need to leave, but then we’ll let the most productive ones immediately back in, back that won’t be related to H-1B Visas, but the more productive, the meriier.”
What is it? Anti-Amnesty, Pro-Guest Workers or both?
(3) “Tax those businesses taking those jobs overseas and make it unprofitable for them, but then offer a 1 time 10% repatriation tax to bring money back into the states.”
What is it? Punish overseas companies with high tarrifs or give them a tax break?
The list of contradictory positions could go on and on. But it’s easy for a guy like Trump to pull this off on the fly when he’s not really embedded in the issues at the core.
I want to vote for a conservative, not a guy that’s hired a bunch of consultants that’s trained him on how to rile up the conservative base but lacks the core beliefs of the base.
