I agree. Once I began an assessment of Trump on a substance level, without giving him points on style, I came to the same conclusion. I would rather Cruz not be a part of that. It is not going to be the smooth sailing that Trump’s supporters think.
I think you’re right.
No sailing for ANY republican is going to be smooth in 2016. However I am seeing lot more evidence in my own circle of relatives and friends that Trump will bring in a substantial democrat crossover votes from every category. I have not come across a single democrat (and I know a lot of democrats, I am surrounded by them in WA state) who would abandon Hillary and vote for Cruz.
