“The reason is, Trump has proven already he’s completely malleable,†Carter explained. “I don’t think he has any fixed (positions) he’d go the White House and fight for. On the other hand, Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far right wing policies he’d pursue if he became president.”
So Jimmy’s saying from the democrats perspective they would be much better off with with a malleable “deal maker”, Trump, as opposed to a principled, consistent Conservative, Ted Cruz. This may be the first time I’ve agreed with Jimmy Carter. One more reason to vote Cruz.
Pretty clearly the GOPe prefers Trump over Cruz for the same reason.
