Much of what you say is true. And, as I argued last June/July, we are in a new era of media, which plays to Trump (but not to Cruz). I do recall early in this cycle (July or so) Trump was already insisting that Christians in the Middle East were not being protected or treated well.

My concerns about Ted are merely that, concerns. I have no evidence to say what he would do, any more than anyone else. But I do think that the "insider" tag is one of the main reasons that Cruz's numbers remain low. Anyway, we'll see. So far every prediction I've made about Trump since June has pretty much been on target---where he would be after each debate, what would, and would not "hurt" him.

And I think he'll wrap it up not long after Super Tues and sometime after that Cruz will be the veep.

I so much appreciate your civil tone, FRiend. :^)

Much of what I say is true? Factually, in that post what isn't opinion IS ALL TRUE, as far as I know. It is my opinion that Trump is a sincere American patriot with the best of intentions -- I know some Cruz supporters who think Trump is only in it for the money; which is true of Trump is up in the air.

As for predicting Trump's rise ... considering that for the recent seven years he had a TV show built on constant positive self-promotion that only went on hiatus in 2014 and which Trump put on hold in 2015 because of the campaign ... yeah, Trump's numbers are big and his image strong. Not that hard to predict.

God bless and keep you, FRiend.
