“He was overtaken by a celebrity, who understood how to control the media and get the attention he needed from them and constituents.”

I disagree. He was overtaken by a business man who was not afraid to go on all the talk shows and do interviews in the face of the enemy. Cruz could have done that be he chose to go a different route. Only in the last couple of weeks did Cruz start to appear on the Sunday talk shows. It was to little to late.

Cruz once again proved the old adage, “You can’t beat something with nothing.” Trump was the something. Cruz was the nothing. Ever since Iowa, the only thing that Cruz defined himself as was ‘not Trump.’ In every one of his speeches, he could have just put up an empty suit and a sign that said, “I’m not Trump” and nothing more.

And as it turns out, people preferred the something rather than the nothing.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...nOObs /s

LOL

Funny, we were all for this guy until Trump showed up and then all of a sudden he became a pariah.

What change? Rhetorical.

Was Reagan perfect? The 1st time?

I wasn’t for him, years back, as I didn’t consider him NBC but, was convinced by numerous posters, JR and Jack Wheeler he was the guy we wanted.

Oh well.

Things change.

Post on friends and I’m pulling the lever for The Donald.

EXCELLENT POINT---- Cruz could have gone on talk shows as Trump did....but he chose a different route til the last weeks of the campaign. By
then, it was too little too late.

In point of fact, Cruz bombed on talk shows......the more visible he became,
the more he spoke, the more viewers realized he was not fit to be president.
