[plain talk]

If Trump is nominated he won’t be nominated as a conservative (because he isn’t) but out of desperation for someone who can fight. Cruz is the only candidate close to Reagan but he isn’t polling well. It seems many prefer the mouth over the brain

It's not the mouth over the brain. I'm beating a dead horse here. Cruz is viewed as part of the problem. Go to the first debate when he would say (as did Rubio) "I introduced legislation . . ." NO!! That's the kiss of death. That smacks of introducing stuff knowing it won't work. Trump says, "I built this building and I can build a fence." Much different. And that's not talk. He has a real estate empire that HE made and billions of dollars that HE earned, and that's viewed quite differently from all the garbage that goes on in DC.

And believe me, I'm understanding and sympathetic to how the Senate and House work---but they haven't worked (the way they were supposed to) since 2006. The Dems ran the house like a house of nobles, the Republicans like a house of cowards. Neither works.
