Thank you for your concise informative response. The difference I see between these two candidates is style. Cruz is a politician, Trump is a businessman. We have seen the gamut of the former in the WH and I am convinced that they are not so accomplished. I sense we need a businessman who can negotiate a better deal. Cruz is beholding to other politicians and investors, Trump is not.
You have assigned gays and the mafia to the Trump campaign. Seem to have heard that Cruz actually met with gay supporters for a cash infusion. Please annotate your documentation for your highlights against the Trump campaign. Thank you.
Trump if you take him at his word, which is a foolish thing to do, likes big government, would keep Obama care and the IRS; he just want to negotiate a better deal with Iran. He was for abortion before he decided to run as a republican, he still enjoys the gay parades and claims to be a christian who does not need forgiveness. He brags about using graft in a corrupt city and feigns outrage when those values are questioned. He has declared bankruptcy 4 times divorced 2 after affairs and changed parties at least twice. He has praised Pelosi, Obama and Hillary. He works with unions in his construction business and so is opposed to free market labor.
The contrast is stark. One a life long liberal the other a life long conservative. One a campaign christian of one of the most liberal mainline demonstration the other a conservative baptist Christian first Christian. One bullies others and makes fun of the disabled and unattractive, the other is criticized for being too lawyerly. One has a record of keeping his word the other for changing his word. Neither is perfect but they are different in philosophy and the country will be very different depending on which one wins. NY de Blasio values or gun-toting liberty.
To put a slogan to the difference: To end Washington corruption - vote for Cruz!
To send Washington corruption - vote for Trump!
