“Cruz has no special magic to implement policies no matter how “consistent” he is “
This is a major difference between Trump and Cruz. Trump has a network of people from which to assemble a team that will actually get things done. Take the Carl Icahn corporate inversion letter and PAC - Trumps is already rolling on what he whats done.
He thought Obama assembled a great team(and showed great leadership), so I'm not that keen on Trump's judgment about presidential teams.
