Cruz would never pick Trump. Cruz really is a smart guy and not just a rich guy who thinks he’s smart.
Trump may not be an ideal candidate, but he’s certainly not “just a rich guy who thinks he’s smart.” He wouldn’t have achieved his level of success if that were the case.
I don't know about that.
Has anyone succeeded in demonstrating that any of the accusations Trump has made are actually not true? If so, they're keeping it a secret, so far. Which is extremely unlikely.
The thing that impresses me is that Trump has taken the time to get his facts straight, and has landed a series of shattering blows on the opposition. If they could have rebutted them, they would have by now.
Trump has also put his money where his mouth is. He's complicated his business dealings, which has cost him time if not also money, and time is money for him.
If they can't get him on facts, the Left is going to go after him on one or more morals issues. They're going to try and find a scandal to hang on him, the way they did with Herman Cain. I'm certain that many people on the left have been tasked to come up with very bad dirt on Trump, and are burning the midnight oil to accomplish this. That they haven't so far is telling.
But to have command of such a wide array of facts, and to use that information so effectively, demonstrates a lot of intelligence as well as courage. Which by the way is what you expect in a successful entrepreneur. Steve Jobs got it right on the micro level, the macro level, and the mega level, all at the same time.
