I hope you are right, I really do. I’m not sure how many mm Trump has advanced the cause.
At least Trump has spoken frankly about the fact that the US has lost its sovereignty. Without sovereignty, there is no country.
Cruz never discussed this issue. His approach to the ever increasing flood of foreign invaders was threefold: 1, ‘secure’ the border, whatever that means [even Jeb favored ‘securing’ the border]. 2, Mass legalization. 3, Soccer balls and teddy bears. At no time did Cruz even approach admitting that a country under never-ending siege by hostile foreign invaders was a lost country. It just wasn’t a matter of urgency to him.
